John Barbour, Bob Hope, and Oscar Wilde

TVC 646.6: Five-time Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and cultural critic John Barbour (Real People, Your Mother’s Not a Virgin) recalls the circumstances that led to Bob Hope’s appearance on John’s talk show John Barbour’s Half-Hour in December 1972, including the touching story of how Hope came to the studio that day by himself and applied his own makeup. Carol Hoenig’s latest book, The Greatest Reviews I’ve Ever Read, is a collection of some of John’s many film reviews for Los Angeles magazine and KNBC-TV Los Angeles from the 1970s that also includes an ongoing conversation between John and Carol about how movies continue to shape and influence our culture.
