@thomascapital Republicans today bear very little resemblance to the Republicans of old. If Reagan ran for President today, he would be bashed by Fox and wouldn't even get the party's nomination...not with the record he displayed.
@bilkomax Unlike the other presenters, Bob Hope literally performed on stage every day or night with different sets of jokes or tributes for the particular venue. It would be impossible to do it any other way.
At 0:50 Paul Newman and Jason Miller ( Father Karras in The Exorcist ) in the audience

@wwhisko YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! If Reagan were alive his opinion would be regarded as a democrat. And Fox would tear him to pieces with a smear campaign.

They were unable to look at him and read from a monitor at the same time. Of course you will have script.

I think so. If it's not him, it's certainly a good lookalike.
