Book indicates he did have some long-term affairs, one of them with actress Doris Day. Day worked for nearly two years on Bob Hope's weekly radio program. “Hope claimed to a friend years later that he and Day had a brief romantic fling while they were touring together [raising funds for the March of Dimes, above] in 1949,’’ Author Zoglin writes. “When they returned home to Burbank, Dolores was at the airport to greet them, giving Bob an ostentatious welcome-home hug.
