Bob Hope to be Knighted

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Show business legend Bob Hope, who wise-cracked his way through vaudeville, movies, radio and TV for seven decades was finally rendered speechless Thursday, thanks to Queen Elizabeth. The British sovereign plans to confer an honorary knighthood on the English-born comic, who emigrated to the United States as a boy and became one of America's best-loved entertainers. According to the comedian's spokesman, Hope said, ''After 70 years of ad-lib material, I'm speechless.'' The honorary knighthood to Hope will be in recognition of his contribution to film, to song and to the entertainment of troops in the past.

I am currently at work on a book about the Bob Hope films, so I was happy to hear this news.
