LOS ANGELES, July 28 — Bob Hope, a tireless performer who entertained millions over six decades, has died, sources close to his family told NBC News. The cause of death was not immediately released.

There goes the old "In America they have {insert American president's name here}, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Stevie Wonder, in {insert country name here} we have {insert country's leader's name here}, no cash, no hope - and no wonder" joke. I wonder when the other two are going to die... (Hopefully not soon, though Cash is in the danger zone - his wife died some time ago.)

This is a wild guess, but perhaps old age?



So long to a great, entertaining, legend.

I think we have a lot to thank this man for - not least his services over half a century to the armed forces, in times when they were most needed.

Rest in peace Bob Hope.

All death can be ultimately attributed to heart failure.

But I digress...Bob Hope was awesome...think I'll try and rent one of his "buddy" movies with Bing Crosby.

RIP

What can I say about Bob Hope. He made me laugh. He was a celebrity that used his fame to bring laughter to men and women who had been torn from their homes and sent around the world. One of the few that actually earned his fame.

Even toward the end, Hope's sense of humor never failed him. His daughter said that when Dolores Hope asked her husband where he wanted to be buried, he always said, "Surprise me."

A joker to the end. So long Bob!

A true good guy.

Married to the same gal longer then most of us will live, was totally apolitical (friends with presidents from all parties, he didn't care about that), a star on stage, radio, movies and tv.

So long Bob, thanks for the memories.

I believe the news said a suburb of London.
