Bob Hope: King of the Oscars
The producers at BIO.com review hundreds of photos of famous figures each week, from award-winning actors and popular singers, to headliners and scandal makers. While we're digging through these archives, we often come across amazing photos that we're just dying to share. So, without further ado, here's the one image that stands out to us this week:

Is it any wonder that Bob Hope has hosted the Academy Awards 19 times between 1939 and 1977? He ranks as the #1 used host on the show with Billy Crystal in second place at just nine times as MC. Hope began his tenure when the Oscars weren't even being televised, and he ended it with the show's 50th anniversary. In between the TV host captured another milestone: He became the master of ceremonies when the 25th Annual Academy Awards hit the small screen on March 19th, 1953.
