Legendary entertainer Bob Hope hosted, and occasionally starred in, one of the last major anthology series on network TV. Both dramatic and comedy shows were presented, featuring many of Hollywood's top names, including quite a few who didn't do much TV otherwise. Every month or so, Hope would host a variety special in the show's time slot. On those occasions, the show was entitled "Chrysler presents a Bob Hope Special." As can be seen from the various hosts listed, many of these shows were shown in reruns, usually as a summer replacement series, during the late 1960's and early 1970's.
