Bill Daily, known for his comedic characters on the classic sitcoms “I Dream of Jeannie” and “The Bob Newhart Show,” died Tuesday in Santa Fe, N.M., his family said. He was 91.
Daily died of natural causes, his son, J. Patrick Daily, told the Hollywood Reporter.
The actor starred as Maj. Roger Healey, the comical sidekick to Larry Hagman’s Air Force Capt. Anthony Nelson, in all five years of NBC’s “I Dream of Jeannie,” which starred Barbara Eden in the title role and ran from 1965-1970. Hagman died in 2012 at age 81.

Here’s one from the other nite
In a Japanese restaurant Howard has date with Carol and can’t think of a drinks name
Bartender (Par Morita) overhears: Harvey Wallbanger
Howard, surprised turns to Pat: Oh, hi, Howard Borden ( shaking hands)
On an average day around 150 thousand people die in the world. Around 7 to 8 thousand in the US. I am not counting those who were aborted though so that would make the count even higher.
Lots of baby boomers are going to be leaving the stage around the same time... it’s starting.
All three, tits up. Nice thought!
Army astronaut.
RIP Bill Daily.
“Hi Bob!” - Bye Bob - sad.
Everything comes in 3’s.

His Epitaph: Bill Daly was a fun guy.

Yes. Maybe that is why i like older shows. Most of them where genuinely nice people and it shown. No matter how good of an actor it shows. It's body language that can't be avoided or acted away.
Which suggests if someone that is good at casting they could make some wonderful shows today that would dominate the market.
On the then newly added commentary track for one of the Bob Newhart show DVDs, it was mentioned that Bill Daily was still doing standup. Funny man. I'll remember him as Howard Borden, rather than the guy from IDoJ. :^) Either way, it's easy to see him as a prototype for Michael Richards' Kramer character.
