Bob Hope was never much on my radar screen, for some reason. I haven't seen any of his movies (strange, since my parents have always loved Bing Crosby), and when he was on TV with regular specials, he never made much of an impression on me. But still, it's sad to see him go.
(I learned of Hope's passing on The Today Show this morning, when the guy who did the news headlines -- not Matt Lauer or Al Roker, but some other guy who's been on NBC for a while but whose name I can never recall -- suddenly said, "We're just learning that Bob Hope is dead. We'll have details later on." Cut to commercial. I don't know -- I understand why they did it this way, but it just seems a tad heartless, you know?)
