Just listened to it yesterday, Newhart absolutely destroyed. He's got the greatest timing of any comic alive. To hear an 89 year old man just cracking up everyone in the studio was amazing.
I was the press photographer at the Oak Park tribute event. Just wanted to mention that the entire room cracked up at the mention of the ventriloquist episode. Thanks for the memory and thank you for your heartfelt tribute.
So popular is this episode that to look it up all I had to do was type in “bob newhart ven” and the rest came up automatically. It is entitled ”A Jackie Story” and originally aired 8 October 1977. The role of Danny James, the ventriloquist, was performed by Sam Kwasman. Originally a dancer in film and Broadway he went on to guest star in many well known sitcoms, including “Lou Grant,” “Family Ties,” and “Seinfeld.” He was nominated for an Emmy for this episode.
Loved this show as a kid and it is still so funny! I remember being allowed to stay up Saturday nights to watch this then Carol Burnett after. Just nostalgic, not here because of Conan, whoever that is...the barbarian?
@@eugenemalush9284 Conan O'Brien, the host of a late-night talk show, has a podcast called Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. He recently interviewed legendary comedian Bob Newhart, and referenced an episode of the old Bob Newhart Show. Curious podcast listeners have flocked to RUclips to view the clip. Seems tame nowadays, but if you viewed it when it originally aired, as I did, it was hilarious!
This man was so funny on my mom time pretty cool guy 👍👍👏 Happy holidays to everyone and Happy 2019 a new beginning to everyone you guys welcome to sudcribed our channel too thankyou👍

Thank you for your kind remarks. I am thrilled to hear that my episode and tribute was well received. Iam so grateful for your comment. Sam
Brilliant. BRILLIANT. I discovered Bob Newhart as a teenager. Forty years later, it's STILL true: Accept no substitutes.
What was Bob like as a young teenager?
I’m not here from anyone but me. This is one of my all time faves1!
Thanks to Conan for recommending this!!!
I loved the beginning. Best theme song.
When Carol did a cameo as a secretary for Murphy Brown and Bob finds her and wooos her back to Chicago. Way after this show ended. Awesome
This is classic Bob. So funny!!
I love this show. A great classic from the legendary 70's.
RIP Bob. 😢
Life's work Done..and recorded..
Bob Newhart was in CATCH - 22....Over the Top..and out the window.
Just getting to Conan here in Japan 2 years late.
Easily one of the funniest scenes in the history of television
👍
I miss GOOD shows like this!!!!
There are plenty of good TV shows now. Its literally considered the golden age of television right now.
👍

Dry humor rules

Puppet looks like Eugene Levy..
Bob Newhart and Peter Jordanson should get together and do a discussion / debate about psychology.
It’s always a bit rough when you realize the dummy is smarter than you are.

One of the funniest bits with a dummy: ruclips.net/video/DwDbd4jQpkA/видео.html Richard Mulligan and Ted Wass did great.
He should have asked Frank and Danny to sit apart.
Why?
@@hugofigueredo7981 To see how talkative Frank is without Danny's hand up his butt.
@@westlock But remember later on Danny steps out of the room because Frank wants to talk to the doctor privately.

Talks to the puppet.....😂
This man was so funny on my mom time pretty cool guy 👍👍👏 Happy holidays to everyone and Happy 2019 a new beginning to everyone you guys welcome to sudcribed our channel too thankyou👍
Who is Conan?
Also here because of Conan
Creat cast and great writing. They KNOW how to make these so why do we still get so many really bad sitcoms ??
Bit of a precursor to Chuck and Bob😅
Conan said go and check it out, paused the podcast, came here, read the comments, and back to the podcast
Conan's podcast
I'm here, no thank's to Conan (he's so needy).
That was not stuttering, it's more a stammering than anything else.
Wow, Conan didn’t tell me!
Am I allowed to sound like an old fart if I'm "only" 56?
They don't make comedy like this anymore.
Who the heck is Conan?
I’m here and you are not!
Twilight Zone episode
