— BOB HOPE & JACK BENNY —
It’s all in the timing…

Jack Benny was the acknowledged master of comedic timing.
Bob Hope was the acknowledged master of comedic timing.
Yet their comedy styles were polar opposites of one another.
Benny excelled in delivering his material with ease; he could do more with a gesture than most comedians could do with an entire monologue.





From the early days of his illustrious career Hope’s style was that of the brash, fast talking comedian. His quick wit and self-deprecating humor made Bob Hope America’s most celebrated and decorated comedian of our time. Opposite styles with one common result: they were two very funny men! Relive their lives and their humor in this entertaining examination of two of America’s most beloved Comedy Icons.
