    Newhart had a seemingly effortless combination of an Everyman and a comedian. A natural wonderful talent.

    I saw Bob perform that same Disney strike routine live while in the audience of the Tonight Show just a few weeks before this. Getting to see him live was a privilege and I certainly miss him today. RIP, Bob!

      His one sided telephone call monologs were master classes in comedy.

    A real performer, he didn't turn his back to the audience moving toward his seat. Some hosts don't like that, but real performer prefer the audience. You can feel this slight in the tone of the host for the rest of the show.

    You need to understand the characters of the culture from which a comedian comes to get the drift of the jokes. I watched an american viewing the Aussie comedian Sir Les Patterson a la dame Edna and he missed most of the humour .
