It is now 2024, and after watching this clip, this certainly brings back memories of some wonderful and great actors /comedians of the Hollywood era. I am in my 60's.

The first time I’ve seen Bob Hope talk without a script. He’s great. So easy to talk to. I thought I’d seen all the Don Lane shows but not that one. All three greats gone. We going to miss you Bert. RIP. Xx

I raised a glass for Bert, and my Dad, who also died last month. Two legends in my life. As a young child, Dad would let me stay up to watch Bert on the Don Lane show. We LOVED to laugh. Thanks for the Memories Bert xx❤🇦🇺

Those were the times when a celebrity was truly a celebrity. Love Bob Hope and all those who entertained us for many decades belonging to that era. RIP all and many thanks.

this is the best interview with Bob Hope ever

what an era. you would swear we are on anothe rplanet at this point. RIP all these guys.

ONLY WISH WE HAD THESE DAYS BACK TOP NOTCH TALENT.MISS THEM ALL 8-((

A really wonderful presentation; like nothing I'd ever seen before! Maximum entertainment and fabulous hosting. Thank you so much for this golden memory!

Whoever put this up thank you it was lovely too watch ❤

Don Lane, Bob Hope, and of course our Bert Newton. This has to be the best ever produced on Melbourne television. Always in our hearts.

Bert Newton who recently left this world, was a great natural entertainer. He had a super persona which drew everyone to him. As new immigrants we watched the Don Lane show twice a week which ran from 1975 - 1983. This show, above all else, was one filled with the very competent flair of Don Lane, but complemented hugely by Bert Newton. In this clip, Bert is a complete and confident ambassador for Australia. He does not in any way fawn before Bob Hope who was a legend in his own right. Every Australian should follow his example in being people from a great land down under. Rest on Peace Bert.

I wish I saw Bob live. He was a genuinely funny man. Don and Bert good here with Bert knowing his stuff.

Fantastic clip of the good old days in the 70's. Totally and thoroughly enjoyed this nice long interview with such a legend - Bob Hope - plus of course Don and Bert.

Love how Bob takes in the standing ovation...before he even sits down.

The all time late greats! Thanks for the memories!!!

"In The Arm's of The Loving Angel's Bert" An Australian Legend, I Remember as a Teen you had me in Hysterical Laughter on the Don Lane Show. Your Light Will NEVER Go out. Make those Angel's Laugh Beautiful Soul Bert. To Beautiful Patti, Mathew, Lauren and Bert's Wonderful Grandchildren families and Friends you are in my kindest Of Thoughts. From Victoria. 🕯😣😇

This was a great show , great interview s and talented performers musicians and gentle men Thank you God bless you 🇦🇺♥️🙏❤️💖🌹

Oh! For the memories! A time when people had a life...

Bob looked genuinely amazed when he came back, at Bert's request. One of the giants. Rip great man.

Thanks this.I was working at Nine when he visited. Huge thrill Did great shows at the Vic Arts Centre

What a great show. Thank you

Wow! Hearing Bert slip in a few jokes that absolutely kept up with one of the wittiest guys in the world! You can see Bob was totally aware of it.

Can't think of a better near hour of tonight show tv at any time anywhere over the past 50 years.

What a treat and a barrel of laughs the audience and peaple on tv who saw it were lucky now you’ve got rubbish on tv and they call themselves celebrities too

I saw Bob Hope at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, a legendary act!

I can see why Florence Henderson made the comment that Bert Newton was an Australian version of Bob Hope. Bob & Bert seemed to have the same quick wit & were both loved by many. Only sorry Bert hadn't lived to 100 like Bob. Bert will be sadly missed by many & his funeral entourage will be huge. RIP to all these legends Don, Bert & Bob. There will never be stars like this again.

The Don Lane Show was the Best , Bob Hope is a Legend

I love Bob Hope, he taught me how to be a smartarse

This is from 1983.Bob Hope was 80 years old here.

Bob Hope, LEGEND

Oh I remember this one loved the Don Lane show and Dear Bert Newton bitter sweet as they have now left for that big stage in Heaven Yes Thanks For The Memories RIP guys xxx

I grew up in a town close to Laurieton NSW... The older folk there, still fondly remember Bob and co, "dropping in" expectantly.

This has taken me back over 40 years to when I was a teenager watching this in my lounge room in Melbourne. Magnificent!

It is so sad to watch these programs because they have all gone now. They entertained us like no other. All the entertainers have all gone now. I loved them all . Now Bert has gone. These were good programs. Never to see again except on u tube Thankyou. Goodbye dear entertainers. RIP.

Loved Don Lane. Great show.

Usually Bob Hope would just respond in interviews with "Ain't that something" or "Can you believe that". Here he actually goes beyond.

Love Bob Hope, Don Lane and Bert Newton.

The wonderful and fantastic bob hope and phylis dillet we will never see their like.again

Don lane is be very good. I really liked him

All without cue cards. Bob Hope was great at unfiltered repartee. Thanks for the video post.

Love how they take the piss out of each other and no one gets offended.not like now!!!!

I loved Bop in the movies. Bop worked hard in the industry. We will all miss Bop.

It was great to see Bob Hope back in Australia again!

That was great.

RIP BERT

That was so good 👍

Bob Hope, what a legend. Funny story, Bob Hope said that his name was actually Lesley Hope, or Les Hope. He changed it because everybody used to call him Hopeless.😂. The Don Lane Show was so much fun. Don and Bert were so great together. Shows like that are gone forever. RIP Bob, Don and Bert.❤️

What a love fest for Bob Hope down in Australia!

What an absolute legend and a wonderful man. RIP Mr Hope

Love Bob Hope ,Phillis And Bert

if you have got to force yourself to laugh, please don't Don. Bob Hope can see right through you.

I never knew the legendary Bob hope performed on stage in Australia! ??

The interaction between Hope & Phillis Diller would be frowned upon these days.

3 Greats Gone! Memories in our hearts.

Rest in peace.

a champion of the blue-rinse set

It was awkward to start, almost painful to watch but did get better to the point he appeared to be enjoying it. He was a great sport to do this and spend so long.

Thanks for this. But why put '73 if its the wrong year. What year is this, anyone?

A yank interviewing a Pom in Australia! Love to USA, UK, AUS

This show went to air in 1984

what a major loss to the world both Bob and Don, great entertainment.

This had to be 1983, not 1973. They talked about Reagan running for reelection.

She’s a great sport. Miss Bob Hope.

America had Bob hope: today with Biden it has No hope

All these people were real comedians you could have a real laugh at them and with them not like today where if you say the wrong thing you get sued by the political correct people

great stuff have you got any more don Lane

Luv donn

Do you have the Don's Wheel segment to this show?

"1952". "Over 30 years ago". That would make this sometime in the '80s.

3 girls together...what a laugh !

What's the song called

Probably in 1979 when he was in Perth as well to host the Miss Universe ( or World maybe) in their 150th yr celebration.

Bert saved this

What year was this?

This is circa 1977?

What year was this ????
