For a man who once played third billing to Siamese twins and trained seals, Bob Hope became the most recognized and prolific talent in the world. And, in the entire history of show business, no individual traveled so far - or so often - to entertain so many.

"I've played some strange rounds of golf in my travels. One course in Alaska was hacked out of the wilderness. My caddy was a moose. Every time I reached for a club he thought I was trying to steal his antlers."

-Bob Hope

More 'Moose Humor' is coming this way.

Bob Hope's entertainment persona was evident in every decade of the 20th century - from impersonating Charlie Chaplin in front of the firehouse in Cleveland in 1909, to celebrating an unprecedented 60 years with the National Broadcasting Corporation in 1996.

In 1907, Leslie Townes Hope's father brought the family to Cleveland, Ohio. In 1920, by virtue of his father's naturalization, 'Bob' - the name by which the world would later know him - and his brothers became U.S. citizens. Bob joked, "I left England at the age of four when I found out I couldn't be king."
