Wait, He Was Funny Once?
-
A new book aims to rehabilitate the image of... Bob Hope? Yes, Bob Hope, who the author contends was a standup pioneer and more subversive and funny than he's given credit for, because his later years were corny and politically out-of-step. In fact, the argument is that the biggest problem is that he stuck around too long, that if his career ended in the '50s, he'd have been better off legacy-wise. Can you think of anyone else who stuck around too long? (Los Angeles Times)
