He was so good, his dead pan humor was unlike anything out there. Rip Bob.

I have some of his early comedy records.
The cubs listen to them and think they are very funny.

One of the greats. Newhart had one of the best finales of any sitcom.

At humor and satire it could be argued he was the best there has ever been. It’s slow. It takes patience. It takes intelligence to get him......oh wait. (My best Bob Newhart there)

"Elf Star?" Srsly?
Bob Newhart was much more than a co-star to a no-talent clown in an awful movie that morons seem to enjoy.
How about years of standup, album recordings, 2 mega popular sit-coms in an age of good sit-coms?
