RIP
I didn’t even realize he was still alive.
Weird... Bob Newhart hadn’t crossed my mind since... years...
yet my last post before this one was a couple of hours ago, in which I had quoted Bob:

He lived a very long and productive life, and was involved in two major hits for a comedy series.
I believe Mel Brooks is still alive, though for how long I don't know.

His imaginary phone calls were hilarious. One of the best was when he was talking to Sir Walter Raleigh about tobacco. RIP Bob, you made so many people laugh.
