Bob Hope

No one party can fool all of the people all of the time; that’s why we have two parties.

One of my friends, Charles Denis Kaufman, used to work as a courier. He would take jokes to Bob Hope from Hope’s gag-​writers. Charles couldn’t resist the temptation to slip a few jokes of his own into the batch. Hope liked them, and his staff realized that the person who must be including them was the courier. Thus Charles got a job as a gag-writer. 

(A great story, but Charles discovered that trying to be funny on-​demand was very stressful.)
