    My wife and I had the chance to see him live about a decade ago ate Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. Age had not dimmed his mastery of the long-form joke - the timing, the inflections, all were as impeccable as they were hysterical!

    First time I heard Bob Newhart was in Driver's Ed, during a rainy spell and teacher kept us inside. He put Bob Newhart's driving instructor audio skit and I was crying with laughter. The teacher was laughing from how hard I was laughing! I will never forget it and it's still one of my favorites! God Bless, God Speed, Thank you for all the good laughs Bob Newhart you were one of a kind.

    My father was a driving instructor, and brought "The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart" home because of the "Driving Instructor" routine. I was 11 years old at the time. I loved that album then, and 60+ years later I still love it, and all of Bob Newhart's routines. Others have said 'genius'. It is a big word, but I agree with them, Bob Newhart is a comedic genius.

    Newhart's album The Button Down Mind Of Bob Newhart was the first comedy album to go to #1 on the pop charts. Also, it won best album at the 1961 Grammy Awards. And, it was the first and only time a comedian won best new artist. Bob put comedy on the map in the recording industry. Credit given where credit is due.

    Bob Newhart was a true original. These monologues where he is the 'straight man' and the clown is the unheard person (usually, but not always, on the other end of a phone) are his unique invention. And they are brilliant. 'Genius' is not a word to throw around, but I don't think it would be out of place talking about Bob Newhart.

      What’s unexpected is that one of his best friends if not his best friend was Don Rickles. Now, if you don’t know who that is (which is feasible if you didn’t know who Newhart is), look him up. His comedy is rather different from Newhart’s.

      Have you seen him in his two different shows?

    I miss his humour and how he comes across doing it.
