Bob Hope, (born Leslie Townes Hope; May 29, 1903-July 27, 2003) was an English-born American comedian and actor who appeared in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in radio, television and movies. He was also noted for his work with the US Armed Forces and his numerous USO tours entertaining American military personnel.
In "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas", a TV clip of Hope entertaining Union soldiers of the American Civil War is shown. Hope was in fact renowned for his USO forces' concerts, particularly during WWII, which did much to maintain morale amongst all Allied forces, not just GIs.
In "PTV", it was reported by Tom Tucker that he had come back to life. Hope decides to attempt to jump trashcans on a motorcycle. This brutally failed, and led to his second death.
In "Baby Not On Board", Stewie refers to Quagmire as Bob Hope.
Lois jokingly asks Hope Jennings if she is any relation to Bob Hope in "Livin' on a Prayer".
