Just heard Bob Hope died

[MarthaStewart]

They did so many specials on him recently, they are gonna have to rerun them all.

It was like a preemptive strike - they were all acting like he was already dead, so now they can rerun it without any editing and still get the ratings.

he was older than wodin

 

[the nature boy]

on msmbc. damn he lived a long time.


now bullits career as bob hope's stunt double is over.

 

[vixenbabe]

How old was he anyways? Had to be in his 90's?!

Sad!

 

[flexygrl]

He was 100. Now I totally respect that he died but, when they announced it, it scared the hell out of me.

I took off today. I am sitting here in my pj's watching Montel Williams and they interupt the show. I almost jumped out of my skin. I was just imagining all these horible things that could have happened. I understand that this is a semi big deal, but they should really consider people's feelings. This could have waited until the 5:00 news.

The last time I stayed home and they interupted a show, it was September 11, 2001.

 

[Scarlett33]

he was at least 100

 

[WODIN]

I bet he was praying for death. I know I do...

 

[SV2]

He had a life time contract at NBC... was still getting paid by them until he died.. It was a one-of-a-kind deal, he had his own private studio at NBC burbank, right next to where the shoot leno.

The last time I saw him on tv he was close to the drooling stage and did not know what day it was! Sad sight!

yeah he was pretty much a burdon. that's more sad to me than his death.

 

[MarthaStewart]

Yeah, Bob Hope totally deserved to die.

Next up, Billy Crystal.
