From July 2013: Bob Mills, longtime writer for comedian Bob Hope, takes listeners inside the writers room of a typical Bob Hope special (including how many jokes it took to put together a typical Hope monologue), and how closely Hope worked with the director and editor in post-production of the monologue. Bob's book, The Laugh Makers, not only provides great insight into Bob Hope (the comic and the person), but takes you behind the series of the final decade of the network TV variety show, while also paying tribute to the “gag men” and “gag women” who made it happen.Want to advertise/sponsor our show?TV Confidential has partnered with AdvertiseCast to handle advertising/sponsorship requests for the podcast edition of our program.
