Bob Hope was a great entertainer and a Great American, considering all his support of USO.
The last 12 or so years of Bob’s life were hard to watch.
His hearing and eyesight were failing. Signs of dementia were seen frequently, but Bob still wanted to get in front of his audiences, however it could be done.

Jerry Lewis was creative, innovative and willing to take risks in movie writing or production. But as Jerry aged, he appeared to be more concerned with bitterness and grudges vs producing anything new. Besides Jerry’s fantastic movie career, he is remembered for writing his first wife and his four oldest sons out of the will and with zero inheiritance.

Hillary would call him a "person of grievance."

It was difficult to tell if Jerry being a jerk was an act or not. But his reputation was awful.

You summed them up pretty well.

I would add that Bob Hope came from an old world of written jokes with no improv. He was quite rigid in that regard. Jonathan Winters said Bob Hope could not handle adlibs from others very well.

Bob Hope was boring. Even as a kid in the sixties I realized this. He would have ruined Woodys career.
