Cloris Leachman said seeing Bob Hope in the audience made her question her Emmy win in 1973 for her leading role in "A Brand New Life": "One night, I won an Emmy and I went out and (the stage) was like a tongue that went out instead of being straight. So, I came out and there was a mike, and there was Bob Hope sitting down below me. And I thought, 'My god! This is wrong. I could be sitting there and you should be here, because my father always listened to Bob Hope on the radio.' That was a remarkable night for me."
