    Bob Hope at the National Press Club, July 8, 1980

    Bob Hope at the National Press Club, July 8, 1980 Bob Hope (right) with White House photographer Andrew J. “Buck” May (left), July 1980. National Press Club Archives Comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003) treated journalists at a National Press Club luncheon on July 8, 1980, to jokes he planned to deliver later in the week during performances at Washington’s Kennedy Center Concert Hall. As part of a summer tour that coincided with the 1980 presidential election campaign, Hope’s appearances at the Press Club and Kennedy Center gave audiences the opportunity to hear the legendary funnyman gently, but pointedly, skewer those in power, a talent he had perfected since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency. When Hope appeared in March 1944 at the White House Correspondents Association dinner at the Statler Hotel—the annual political roast hosted by the Washington press corps—and left Roosevelt roaring with laughter, the syndicated columnist Richard Wilson announced that a new era had begun. “The gap left by the death of [political humorist] Will Rogers has been filled,” Wilson wrote. “Bob Hope has stepped into his shoes. From now on he will be sought in Washington to provide that extra touch at the capital’s lavish public functions.” Hope’s Press Club appearance came during the final phases of a career that spanned most of the twentieth century. The entertainment historian and critic Leonard Maltin has noted that Hope “may be the most popular entertainer in the history of Western civilization.” A versatile performer—in addition to comedy, he excelled as a singer and dancer—Hope began in vaudeville in the 1920s, gained prominence on the Broadway musical stage during the 1930s, and became one of the nation’s top radio 1 and movie stars in the 1940s.
