Bob Newhart, the beloved stand-up performer whose droll, deadpan humor showcased on two critically acclaimed CBS sitcoms vaulted him into the ranks of history’s greatest comedians, died Thursday morning. He was 94.
The Chicago legend, who won Grammy Awards for album of the year and best new artist for his 1960 breakthrough record, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, died at his Los Angeles home after a series of short illnesses, his longtime publicist, Jerry Digney, announced.
He had at least 2 good TV shows I watched. Great, understated comedic timing.
Great shows
The Bob Newhart show in the 70’s where he played a Chicago psychologist was great but the 90’s Newhart set at the Vermont Inn was an all time classic
His genius was allowing his supporting cast on both shows to be laugh out loud funny
RIP and condolences to his family.
Loved both of his shows. And having Suzanne Pleshette (she passed in 2008) as his wife in the first series gave me, as a teenager in high school, hope that as a non-jock the possibly having a lovely wife of my own someday.
RIP Mr Newheart, you always made us laugh.......
^ good call on Suzanne Pleshette
+1 on above posts. I liked how he played "Major Major" in the movie "Catch 22"

I am wondering in your own words what are some states and / or cities that have some or all of the right ingredients for having a truly kickass strip club scene but for whatever reason be it cultural, zoning restrictions...
Prior to January of 2024, when I started SCing on a regular basis, I had only been to a strip club twice, summer of 1999 and spring of 2000. There was quite a contrast between these two clubs. One was the higher end,...
"For many, the gentleman’s club is simply a place to unwind, where loud music, cheap beer, and attractive women intersect. It’s a setting that offers an easy escape from day-to-day life, a spot to spend time with friends...

With a rare night to myself and alone I sat down to rewatch the 1959 Hitchcock classic; North by Northwest, starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. Amazing flick that never won any academy awards because it was up again...

Just a quick shout out to Founder for the relatively new spam button that makes playing whack-a-mole on pending spam articles more efficient. There appear to be far fewer attempts these days, and the ones that do show up...
Bob's legacy as a comedian will continue to live on for eternity. His style of comedy was a joy to watch. His deadpan face as he delivered joke after joke had me rolling in laughter. He was (and still is) a very gifted comedian who excelled at his craft. Hard to believe he was an accountant before turning his comedic charm into a sensation. An incredible human being who treated his audiences, both on stage & television, like were an extension of his family. Bob has now joined his wife of 60 years once again; this time in Heaven🙏. May Bob rest in peace as we continue to enjoy his humor via "oldies networks" on our televisions📺.
