That's correct!
I remember once many years ago a friend and I went to the Astrohall for some show. Maybe one of the auto shows or some such event. By accident, we walked into a big room with maybe 15 people in it. There was a stage. And out from behind the curtain walks Bob Hope. He was hilarious. He played the room like there was a million people there. They obviously had screwed something up because the room was basically empty. We got to chat with him cuz he stuck around. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met.
I can believe it, he had his heart in the right place. The closet I got to him was seeing him in Bien Hoa in 1969.
