Hope Claims World Record as Windiest Joke Teller
New York based Hal Boyle profiles Bob Hope, claiming he has told more jokes than any other entertainer across vaudeville, radio, TV, and tours. Hope estimates at least a quarter million, possibly millions with repeats, and notes his vast humor library. He tours 235,000 to 9,000 miles yearly, once entertaining 450,000 service members in WWII. He discusses work habits, tension, and his focus on prepared material, plus a plan to avoid emotional drains. He also mentions diet, fitness, and the belief in moderation, sharing a playful jab about over-eating and marrying the wrong girl. A banking department in Oklahoma City also issues a call for bank condition statements.
