The man was a real class act. You'd be surprised how many celebs are going to see the troops. The press just doesn't talk about it.

R.I.P. He was a great man, but it had to happen sooner or later, I guess. His accomplishments were overwhelming.

Despite having seen a short career overview last night, I don't think I can really grasp the notion of the impact and the influence he had on the American people, but may he rest in peace nonetheless.

Here's one impact: making the day's news comedy. Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien all owe the monologue portion of their show to his innovation. In his day, he was the sharpest of cutting edge. He was a transplanted Britt in case you didn't know. He was one of the last remaining links between Hollywood and old Vaudeville, where the entertainer did everything from comedy to singing to dancing.

Flags will be flown at half-mast on the day he is buried. As he entertained troops during every war from WWII to 1991 Gulf War, this is most appropriate.

He is a good hearted being who had done wonderful stuff while on earth. Super job, Mr Bob Hope! See you again in another life. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not only was he an exceptional man, he proves that laughter is the best medicine. He made good medicine all the way to the ripe age of 100. I will truely miss him. There will be no one else that will ever be able to replace him.
