I think that might have been from seeing them on tv. Dad was a soldier during WWII and got to see Bob Hope. Dad said it was such a vulgar show that he walked out. He never liked him after that and never wanted to see any performer in person after that. He said that seeing them in person was different that seeing them on tv with all the censorship. He preferred just watching them on tv. He loved Red Skelton.
