I’m a little giddy right now, not because last night I got lost for a few hours in old clips of Woody Allen appearing on the Tonight Show, but because I think I just managed to drum up an obscure piece of Dallas nostalgia that Robert Wilonsky hasn’t yet posted on Unfair Park. At about 2:14 of the video below, Bob Hope, appearing on the Tonight Show with Woody Allen in 1971 (guest hosting right as his latest movie, a little old thing called Bananas, was released), mentions a golf foursome he participated in over the weekend at the Byron Nelson in Dallas. Who’d he play with? Byron “Lord” Nelson, “Al” Meadows (“this great philanthropist,” as Hope puts it), and Billy Graham. “We were billed as ‘The Supremes,’” Hope jabs. Enjoy.
