Bob Hope holds two entries in "The Guinness Book of World Records". One is for having the distinction of being the entertainer with "the longest running contract with a single network - spanning sixty-one years". The second is for being the "most honored entertainer", with over 1500 awards.
I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.

19 July 1950
Fancy Pants is a 1950 American comedy film, directed by George Marshall starring Lucille Ball and Bob Hope.
A B-grade stage actor is convinced to play the role of a butler for a Western family who are about to host President Theodore Roosevelt.
The deception is eventually uncovered, and the actor and the family's daughter eventually fall in love.
The film is often misinterpreted as depicting Native Americans and Chinese stereotypically, though for the times this film treats them sympathetically, as seen in the song "Home Cookin".
The interior set at Paramount Studios representing the first floor of Norma Desmond's mansion in Sunset Blvd. (1950) starring Gloria Swanson was also used in this film, giving fans of that classic a rare opportunity to see it in full color.
In a scene involving Lucille Ball and Bob Hope on a mechanical horse, Hope took a tumble off the horse and suffered a mild concussion.
Second of four feature films that Bob Hope and Lucille Ball made together.
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on September 10, 1951 with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball reprising their film roles.
