On one of their first appearances together, Bob Hope arrived for his show that night while Lisa was in the middle of her rehearsal. He asked Lisa three things:

1. How was her dressing room? Answer: Uh...okay. Not what Hope wanted to hear so he had Lisa moved immediately to his empty dressing room in as much as he was staying in a private home with friends.
2. Had she been paid yet? Answer: no. So Hope sent someone to get her check.
3. Would she like to do a comic number during the show with him? Answer: Yes! Yes! Yes!

Lisa and Bob worked up the duet in one of the most fun rehearsals that Lisa has ever had.

That night Bob Hope lived up to his reputation for on-stage generosity, as he, one of the all-time great comedians, played straight man to Lisa in a duet he himself prepared.
