I was so excited! And I was never disappointed.

      And Johnny, for me, was his funniest when he bombed a joke or comment, or an entire routine or the monologue. And then gives a perfectly toned, really lame reason for bombing it or faux lashing out at Ed or the audience. Hilarious. He is dearly missed in our late night age of political ridicule posing as comedy.

      @@Gamble661 I like their sense of humor because it went beyond clown… Maybe it’s more relevant to the time?… maybe what makes a difference. Sometimes comedy isn’t about hilarious. It’s more about the way people do things. Bob Newhart had that down if you ever had the opportunity to see him in Vegas or in LA… He was unique. I imagine no one‘s humor suits everyone. I would take Jimmy Fallon over Jimmy Kimmel because I’d rather laugh and have to listen to someone’s political point of view. It’s exhausting lol

      That was very fortunate for you and your husband. I would have loved to have encountered Bob Newhart in a public setting. Some things you never forget because they left you feeling a bit better. At age 13, me and a friend were standing in a line at the candy counter in the basement at Sears in Glendale California when he whispered to me, "Hey Marty, look how giant the guy that just came up behind you is". I pretended that I needed to see the wall clock and turned around to see Ted Cassidy("Lurch"). I knew it was him right away and I suddenly thought of something funny to say to him. In my most serious voice I looked him in the eye and said, "Hey kid, you here for the free popcorn too?" Then I 'innocently' waited for his answer back to me. He barely smiled and tried his best to hold the rest from appearing and he grew a set of sparkles in his eyes, too, letting me know that he got the joke, then said in his most Lurchiest, deep-grumble-groany voice, "Peeeanut MMMM and MMMMMMM'sssssss!!" Then I had to laugh and we spoke just a little bit. He seemed to be a bit lonely that afternoon, but I had said I didn't want to hold him "social hostage" or be a bothersome fan type so I had simple turned back to my friend John and then time marched right on. Later on Monday at school I had the bragging rights badge for a few days at lunchtime, and before and after school, too. That was back in 1970. I still recall it like yesterday.

      I'm 58, and I've also loved Bob Newhart since I first saw him. His timing, stuttering, and pausing while performing speaking roles and stand-up make it all sound so REAL. His delivery sets him apart and above all other comedians. I believe Ellen DeGeneres realized this early on, because I saw her first stand-up on Johnny Carson where she pretended to be on the phone with God, and she delivered the lines just as Bob does. I believe that helped her become a success early on.

      Going back even farther (? further ?) I never tired of Jack Benny's approach to comedy. He always made himself the butt of the joke, of the sketch, of the show. Even today anyone who doesn't crack up at the "Your money or your life" sketch must have noodles in their noggin (to use another old phrase).
      Eddie Anderson's Rochester could have been a horrible stereotype but instead Jack always let him come out on top. FWIW they were longtime friends and Jack helped "grease the ways" for Eddie, who was a *very* wealthy man at the end of his life.

Really the stations ought to give them a couple of warnings and then just throw them off the shows. Newhart really had a great heart.,

      Bob Hope, one article claimed, was not a favorite guest of Carson. Bob came with shows to plug "reading" from a well-rehearsed script. This clip shows how much funnier a guest spot can be when there is the give and take of an ad-libbed conversation with a true genius like Bob Newhart. Brings out the best in them and us.
