Bob Hope had an entire joke vault with many jokes untold, written for him by paid writers. What happened to those? Maybe he willed it to someone, and they aren’t talking...maybe Crystal?

Bob Hope’s papers, and 88,000 jokes belong to the American people and are kept at the Library of Congress in WDC. I’m pretty sure you can access all of his jokes at loc.gov. Hope was a true American.
Berle’s papers (not the jokes) were acquired for the American people by the Library of Congress a couple of weeks ago. Collection contains correspondence, films, tapes, vinyl, and business records. I heard that he kept everything.
