Video: All Over the Map: When Bob Hope broadcast live from Fort Lewis

There’s a new exhibit in Portland, Oregon about Bob Hope’s devotion to entertaining the troops. So let’s revisit some vintage audio of dusty old jokes recorded at Fort Lewis back in 1942, during World War II.

The exhibit in Portland is a traveling show from the National World War II Museum in New Orleans called “So Ready for Laughter: The Legacy of Bob Hope.”

All Over the Map with Feliks Banel looks at the stories behind local places, every Friday on Seattle’s Morning News.
