FILMED 4-4-1975 at UCLA's PAULEY PAVILLION. A sold out paying crowd too. Also on the show were LES BROWN and his band -AMERICA-FLIP WILSON-ARETHA FRANKLIN. I was one of the basketball players that carried Mr. HOPE off-stage, what fun.

Legends like this we'll never see again, and the world's the poorer for it!

He was the best

The Duke was blessed with a great sense of humor; this clip is a day-brightener.... Rest In Peace, sir...

Is it me, or does there seem to be a sad loneliness in this world now that the Duke is gone. The likes of which we shall never see again. I never knew the man personally, but there was something about him, some thing that is long gone now, and not in my life time will there ever, ever be another like the late great John Wayne. God rest you in peace John. Some day i'd like to shake your hand in person. For the joy you brought to the world, through your films. RIP Mr Wayne.

It never was. Comedy is always evolving.

I agree with you 100%. But you see it was more then just watching John's films, it was almost like you were there in person, that's the feeling i get when i watch John Wayne, he was such a gentle man, a kind man, and was never too proud to share a joke and just be him self. I can tell you, if there were more kind men like John Wayne in the world today, this world we live in would be a much better place.

Very funny and yet a very harmless sense of humor. No swearing, nothing obscene. Also actors of their generation spoke more audibly. And its a pity John Wayne was not on stage more often...

Both great men and both loved the troops in Vietnam. I saw Mr Hope in 1969 at Camp Eagle Vietnam...Miss them both dearly

There will never be another pair like John Wayne & Bob Hope & they,were both great actors & comedians in,their own way.

Theirs is a level of genuine and deserved celebrity that few if any of todays performers will ever reach.

My Grandfather had Bob Hope and John Wayne as neighbors, and Gramps coached a little league team that was sponsored by John Wayne. Mr. Wayne didn't just write a check, he would sometimes show up at the games to cheer the kids on! It was a different era, the era that brought us other heroes like Ronald Reagan. How sad that in America today we have so few celebs and fewer politicians who stand up for America.

I was a huge UCLA fan back in the day and without knowing any info on this clip I knew they were having fun at John Woodens expense. If it was on T.V. I probably watched this real time because these three were my dad's favorites and they would have had top priority over anything including an UCLA game.

Just read great bio about John Wayne. At least, we still have his movies.

If you dont get the jokes, your young, and thats ok.

Better than today, that's for sure.

Wayne and Hope were both good sports about their comedy, and both ribbed themselves as much as they ribbed their targets. Wayne's appearance at Harvard to accept his "Brass Balls " award is classic. He answered their insulting questions with funny responses, they applauded him roundly, and Wayne talked for a week about the good time he had.

Love these two guys too!!

The wonderful unforgettable Mr John Wayne love it n Bob Hope 😁😊April 7th

John Wayne looked like Nelson Rockefeller in the scene. The glasses helped him read Bob's cue cards. Lol

Thanks for the memories, they were wonderful.

Jeez, I miss these guys.

It's too bad they never made a movie together. They did do another skit where Bob asked Duke if they could work on a film. Duke hesitated, saying he mostly makes westerns. When Bob explained that he has ridden horses, Duke replied, "But Bob, those are merry-go-round horses!"

never saw the Duke on stage before, very good! thanks

I know this is kind of late . However these gentleman were not acting . They were having some fun with each other. And they did a damn good job of it.

I don't think the young people know who Stewart was. They barely know Hope. But I will bet they saw John Wayne and "dog." The most special thing I ever have done was put my two brothers on my shoulers at the same time so that they could see and listen to Bob Hope.. I was 12, it was 1969. I couldn't see him, and I truly felt that my shoulders were breaking, but it was important to me that at least my brothers would get to see his entire show. There were 10s of thousands of ppl there who for the most part couldnt see the show unless they had $10 to sit up high. We got in free to stand on the race track because we were 12 or under. Bob Hope!

I can't believe it that one day when I'm gone from this sick world I'll get to meet these two gods. Çan't wait!!!!

Thank you for posting this fun video - what a find!

This is absolute gold! Fantastic!!

I've been a Duke fan all my life and I've never seen this one..... that I remember (lol).

I cant believe it wayne is funnier than hope,but then bob hope is funnier than anybody.

That's good STUFF!

Those were the days when true comedians could be funny without resorting to being crude. John Wayne loved America and stood up for her so much that the mass murderer Joszef Stalin put a contract out on John Wayne.

That was awesome.

You're not alone. I tried and tried to find a Duke Wayne calendar last December, but they were sold out eveywhere!!! It's not just people in the US that love Duke, he has "fans" all around the world. No other movie star who has been dead for over 30 years has the "fans" that Duke has, not Clark Gable, who was the "King of Hollywood" or anyone else! Duke stuck a chord with people all over the world, even Khruschev loved his movies that were pirated and dubbed in Russian!

That's true. He also made jokes about his (perceived) limitations as an actor. If he'd made a few films as a baldy man I don't think anyone would have thought any less of him. Most bald actors have their fair share of female admirers. Look at Sean Connery.
