Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

Bob Newhart was an American stand-up comedian and actor noted for his deadpan and slightly stammering delivery style. Newhart came to prominence in 1960 when his album of comedic monologues, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, became a bestseller and reached number one on the Billboard pop album chart; it remains the 20th-best selling comedy album in history. Newhart later went into acting, starring as Chicago psychologist Robert Hartley in The Bob Newhart Show during the 1970s and then as Vermont innkeeper Dick Loudon on the 1980s series Newhart. Newhart had film roles as Major Major in Catch-22 and Papa Elf in Elf. He provided the voice of Bernard in the Disney animated films The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under. In 2013, Newhart made his first of six guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory as Professor Proton, for which he received his first Primetime Emmy Award.

Bob was truly an American Treasure. I loved everything he did. He'll be missed.
I was born that year.
R.I.P. Bob😔
I grew up on Bob Newhart & The Goon Show, still miss them x
"That's uh, an American Holiday, Walt." 😂
That he using a technology that was not invented yet is funny too.
Rest in Peace Bob. My parents handed me down a record of his skits - it's here somewhere! Very funny and very clever.
Hilarious and not a swear word in it.
Rip legend!!
I was 1 year old then
Me too!
I was like totally not even born, then. I had to wait for three torturous years after that.
Beloved professor proton
The year I was born. Now I'm the comedic physics professor.
He's so right about technological innovation looking gimmicky. That's what I thought of the iPhone when I first saw it.
still is a gimmick
I think it was Stephen Colbert or maybe Letterman that brought one of the first IPads on their show. Rolled their eyes and told the audience what a great gadget it will become. With tongue in cheek of course, then dropped it on a chair and continued with the show. Now I own three of them.

If you can sell people on sticking burning leaves in their mouths, Walt, they gotta go for those beans, Walt.
And tobacco use IS that ridiculous.
Ah, when Sir Walter Raleigh tried to sell Virginia Tobacco to Britain.
Brilliant, great sketch, fancy being TH-cam mates?
Very funny, lots more of this please, let's be TH-cam mates?
How on earth Americans think the likes of Jay Leno, Kimmel, Fallon and co are funny compared to this fellow.
People think Kimmel and Fallon are funny?

00:01 Only funny thing was stagehand at left, on the floor, pushing mike cord out.
Didn't the "John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts" receive millions of dollars from the first COVID relief package? Where did all the money go? Didn't they fire the orchestra after receiving the money?
D'oh!
THIS IS THAT MOMENT T.V. DIED (Actors died & ony they did not get the message : Is this really the joke that cut the fed up? I was born in 1959 in the UK ~ Decent folk please support your sherif but take up arms...We need out Tea
You need therapy, you are unwell.
What in God's name are you babbling about?
Are you high?
The evolution of comedy...
I listen stone-faced. Not funny in 2024.
Sorry to hear about the right hemisphere damage.
Not evolution so much as context.
I listened and laughed out loud. Perhaps you needed a Red Bull and a laugh track to tell you that it was funny.

I'm sorry that we do not share the same sense of humor.
Actually, I'm not sorry at all.
Can't I be allowed to dislike what you like ?
@@renzo6490 Yes. I will allow you to dislike what I like as well as make sugar-rushed judgments about humor that's a little too nuanced for you to understand.
Back when comedy was overwrought and underfunny.
What does that even mean
Over your head, ay?
