Bob Hope & Bing Crosby's Inappropriate Relationship

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope were superstars back in their days. Comedy duos have been a mainstay of the entertainment industry since around the 1940s. On any given evening you could flip on the tube to see Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein of Laurel and Hardy accidentally stumble upon a hoard of German spies. But for smart-alecks, or really just about anyone with a crush on actress Dorothy Lamour, there was only one comedy team that really mattered: Crosby and Hope.

From 1940 to 1962, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope banded together to star in seven 'Road to' films including hits like Road to Singapore, Road to Zanzibar, and Road to Utopia which were met with enthusiastic reviews and broke box office records. Even to this day, that beloved franchise is still remembered as being 'curiously modern' and for being the spiritual grandfather of meta-comedy.

Beyond their cash-cow film franchise, Crosby and Hope are remembered for their countless contributions to the world of cheesy Christmas music and the TV emcee industry. For one thing, Crosby's recording of 'White Christmas' still holds the honor of being the best-selling single of all time. In fact, it's estimated that 50 million copies have been sold globally. And can you guess who holds the record for hosting the most Oscar ceremonies? Well, our boy Bob Hope has taken the reigns on that annual event a whopping 19 times.

Crosby and Hope were adored by what's been called the Greatest Generation. They were more than just media personalities. They were cultural heroes. It's just a shame that there was nothing very delightful or whimsical about either of those men in their lives off the set and stage. In this video, we're going to be taking a closer look at their tangled lives and the wake of tattered relationships that they left behind their aggressively bigoted paths.
