Bob Hope Tribute Artist

It is a privilege for me to pay honor to the Armed Forces’ greatest entertainer – Mr. Bob Hope!

Bob Hope’s life in comedy comes to life once again with this lookalike- and soundalike- tribute to the legendary comedian. Bill Johnson has performed his tribute to the late, great Bob Hope across the U.S, and the South Pacific to rave reviews. Bill’s tribute works great for a wide range of events…as master of ceremonies, tributes to the troops, or corporate gatherings.

Bill has performed his tribute regularly at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. When the Museum premiered the film “Beyond All Boundaries” in their Victory Theater, Bill was honored to introduce NBC-TV broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw, and perform a brief moment of comedy with the film’s Executive Producer, Academy Award winning actor Tom Hanks.

Bill regularly appears at BB’s Stage Door Canteen (also on the campus of the WWII Museum), starring in a sell-out production of “Thanks For the Memories: Bob Hope and his All Star Pacific Tour.”

For two consecutive years, Bill served as the M.C. for the “Legends of Palm Springs” at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, CA in a show produced by Terry Hill and Associates. Mr. Hill was the producer of the Official Memorial Tribute Show to Bob Hope.

Bill recently returned from Maui, HI where he hosted a “USO Style Show” for Companion Life at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua Resort. In this show, Bill was honored to share a moment onstage with Grammy Award Winning singer and patriot, Lee Greenwood.

Other notable appearances include Hosting the Les Brown Jazz Festival alongside Les Brown, Jr., the USO Ft. Hood Salute to Las Vegas- with a special appearance by the legendary Wayne Newton, and  USO Tribute Cincinnati- featuring Miss America 2016, Betty Cantrell.

Some of the clients and sponsors Bill has proudly appeared for include Maryland Public Television (at “LZ Maryland” with former Dean Martin Golddigger, Michelle Dellafave), the Bob Hope USO in Palm Springs, USO Metro-Baltimore, USO Central and Southern Ohio, USO Hampton Roads, USO Northwest, and USO Guam & Tokyo. Corporate clients have included Michelin Tires, Staples, American Express, US Tours, and Amway Achievers (aboard the USS Midway).
