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!

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.

Two legends. Never will we see something like this again.

John Wayne qui a bercé mon enfance restera à jamais le premier des géants dans mon cœur

John Wayne was the best.

My Aunt & Uncle lived on that farm. my aunt was the housekeeper/maid my uncle did odd stuff around the place. They loved the place.

Laugh out loud funny & neither man said a dirty word....LOVE it!

Excellent. Well worth watching. John Wayne and Bob Hope together in a good comedy sketch.

The world is a sadder place without these two greats

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.

The big guy was blessed with good timing & a great sense of humor. Rest in peace, sir....

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

I love old videos like this. Comedy isn't the same anymore...

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...

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.

Two of the greatest actors of all time. So sad that they are gone.

This brings back so many fine memories that I am so glad that I had the time to see them again and again, that is fine for me!

This was filmed 4-4-1975 at PAULEY PAVILION on the UCLA campus. I was one of the basketball players. It was really a cool gig, as there was a full 'paying" audience who saw full sets by ARETHA FRANKLIN-FLIP WILSON-AMERICA LES BROWN & of course Mr. Hope. Thanks for posting this video, brings back some memories.

omg . two absolute legends in one place at the same time , you couldnt get much graeter star power than these two giants , an absolute joy and very funny

What awesome actors we had in the past !!!

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.

John Wayne is 1 of my favorite actors! Love anything he acted in. Great man sad that hes gone. Love this skit

NICE ONE!!! "DUKE" R.I.P. JOHN WAYNE&BOB HOPE. BOTH HILLARIOUS INDEED!!! THANKS FOR THE POSTING. U.K.

Thanks John Wayne. Why? For your kind of justice. Oh, I know some people will say no. But I say yes.

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

Comedy as God ordered it! THANKS FOR UPLOADING!

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.

Better than today, that's for sure.

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

Love these two guys too!!

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

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!

Real Stars.hollywood is dead to me now.All I watch are the old classics now

Jeez, I miss these guys.

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

Thanks for the memories, they were wonderful.

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

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!"

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.

This is absolute gold! Fantastic!!

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!

most people never knew what a generous and funny man the duke was,, many Hollywood celebrities said he was the nicest person they ever met , and he was also an avid outdoors man befoe it became taboo in hollywood

That's good STUFF!

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

There was so much ham on that stage you could of served Easter dinner! - LOLOL No, but seriously, what a rare treat. Two classic legends on one stage, enough career history to make a Time-Life commercial! - LOLOL

What a great bit. Thanks for uploading

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

This is awesome.

2 great friends!!

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!

The best

Love these two guys!

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.

Two of the greats.

Great Film! Thanks!

THAT WAS VERY FUNNY

John wayne's Long nosed,sweet heart eyed face,is in all Americas food...dangit...

That was awesome.

I was always IN LOVE WITH JOHN Wyne!!!

God bless them both and their craft and their contributions to the world of acting, humor and just beimg decent humam beings. The world we live in now is truly lacking Now thst it's Fueled on th Tesrs of Liberals.

Back then we had Wooden and Hope and Wayne then 40 years later we had Obama and Hope and Change. I miss Wooden Hope and Wayne

two legends

I like John's toupee here.

Te amo jonhy wayne💕💕💋

great stuff

Both great icons...

those were REAL actors!!!

Thanks "Pardner"

Hollywood has not been the same since.

For me John Wayne is maybe the best symbol of America

I couldn’t believe how skinny Bob was ... no wonder he lived to 100 👍

The fact that this skit was utilizing the audience by acknowledging names of other schools and faculty made this audience feel included.

Two great Americans

had to be early to mid 70's True Grit was made in 69 and Brannigan was made in73 or 75. Both were mentioned here.

john wayne never kept it a secret or tried to hide he joked about it quite alot

Can only wish Bob appeared in a film with Duke. Paleface meets True Grit

Geez did he mug Steve Allen for those glasses ??!

Great guys. Nice wig.

Imagine conservatives invited to a college and the left didn't try to burn it down. Does anyone notice how happy all those students seem to be. What happened to us and out college institutions?

That's was cool

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.

I first read it as "LIl Wayne and Bob Hope Ham It Up". :D

JOHN WAYNE!!!

Good fun!

Duke Wayne and Bob Hope were the best.

This is funny... I never saw it before.

Very funny. Even funnier was the fact that the college students didn't scream them out of the auditorium!

Remember him as Lew Alcinder

Hard to believe what used to pass for talent back then.

Great what Duke replied when asked if his hair was real.. Its real, its not mine but its real.. I am not certain that's an exact quote but very similar..

It never occured to me John Wayne wore wigs!

Looked like a Drew Carrie sit in.

Wayne 1907 Hope 1903

When comedy was fun.

You can't beat the autocue.

Hi ya duke !!!
