The Bob Hope Christmas Show sponsored by Texaco

Posted by Unknown Posted on

Bob Hope hosted his Christmas special every year on NBC since the inception of television. His specials were sponsored by Texaco and ran up until Christmas of 1994. Here is the opening to the 1983 special. I apologize for the bad start, but I made up for it by adding a little something special at the end.

If you've ever wondered who the first person to sing "Silver Bells" was, here's your answer!

Enjoy!

    Thanks for this nice post Robby, Bob Hope has always been one of my favorite entertainers. The Lemon Drop Kid is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. I also loved watching clips from his USO Tours. Again, Thanks for the memories.
