This works great... My idea for a troupe of 'generic' USO Singers that would be the most common type of traveling USO Show to keep up morale. Then you'd have 'big name' USO shows that would have 'bigname' actors, signers and bands who'd be going out and hitting very selected areas.

Having the Liberty Belles doing a series of singing and dancing acts would be prefect for the highly mobile USO shows i'm thinking of using...

the 'big name' USO Shows would have the same organization, with just the addition of the big name talent to the show.

I'm trying to come up with a good modern era host/comedian that would live up to the example set by Bob Hope. I've really been thinking of using Scottish-American comedian Craig Ferguson or Drew Carey.

But if anyone has some good suggestions I'm more than open for them... Because the existance of smaller and highly mobile USO shows would mean alot of different hosts and acts that could easily mean some fictional celebs. .

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
