One of the all-time greats (Newhart, that is, not Dobbs).

[Kenny Satch]

Sad yet he lived a full life.
May he RIP.

That was such a great show...

Milestones are never really recognised right away... it
Takes fifty or sixty years before people realise what
An achievement it is. Take for instance... tobacco, it
Was discovered by Sir Walter Raleigh... and he sent it
Over to England from the colonies
It seems to me, the uses of tobacco aren't obvious
Right off the bat... and I imagine a phone conversation
Between Sir Walter Raleigh and the head of the 'West
Indies Company' in England, explaining about this
Shipment of tobacco... would go something like this...

Telephone rings

Yeh?...
Who is it, Frank?...
Sir Walter Raleigh?...
Yeh?...
Yeh, put him on, will you!
Hey, Harry... you wanna pick up the extension?...
Yeh! it's nutty Walter again!
Hi, Walter baby, how are you, guy? How's everything
Going?...
Oh, things are fine here, Walt!...
Did we get the what?...
Oh!, the boat load of turkeys, yeh! They arrived fine
Walt, as a matter of fact they're still here, they're
Wonderin' all over London...
Well, y'see, that's an American holiday, Walt!...
What you got for us this time, Walt, you got another
Winner for us?
Tob-acco... er, what's tob-acco, Walt?...
It's a kind of leaf, huh?...
And you bought eighty tonnes of it!...
Let me get this straight, Walt, you've bought eighty
Tonnes of leaves? This may come as a kind of a surprise
To you Walt but come fall in England, we're kinda upto
Our...
It isn't that kind of leaf, huh?...
Oh!, what kind is it then... some special kind of
Food?...
Not exactly?...
Oh, it has a lot of different uses, like, what are some
Of the uses, Walt?...
Are you saying 'snuff', Walt?...
What's snuff?...
You take a pinch of tobacco, ha! ha! ha!...
And you shove it up your nose. ha! ha! ha!...
And it makes you sneeze? ha! ha! ha!...
Yeh, I imagine it would, Walt! Hey, Goldenrod seems to
Do it pretty well over here!
It has other uses though, huh?...
You can chew it!...
Or put it in a pipe!...
Or you can shred it up...
And put it in a piece of paper. ha! ha! ha!...
And roll it up. ha ha ha...
Don't tell me, Walt, don't tell me. ha! ha! ha! you
Stick it in your ear, right? ha! ha! ha!...
Oh! between your lips!...
Then what do you do, Walt? ha! ha! ha!...
You set fire to it! ha! ha! ha!...
Then what do you do, Walt?...
Ha! ha! ha! You inhale the smoke, huh! ha! ha! ha!...
You know, Walt... it seems you can stand in front of
Your own fireplace and have the same thing going for
You!
You see, Walt... we've been a little worried about you
Y'know, ever since you put your cape down over that
Mud
Y'see, Walt... I think you're gonna have rather a tough
Time selling people on sticking burning leaves in their
Mouthes...
It's going very big over there, is it?...
What's the matter, Walt?...
You spilt your what?...
Your coff-ee?
What's coffee, Walt?...
That's a drink you make out of beans, huh? ha! ha!
Ha!...
That's going over very big there, too, is it?...
A lot of people have a cup of coffee right after their
First cigarette in the morning, huh?...
Is that what you call the burning leaves, Walt?...
Cigarettes?...
I tell you what, Walt!, why don't you send us a
Boatload of those beans, too!
If you can talk people into putting those burning
Leaves in their mouthes... they've gotta go for those
Beans, Walt!... right?
Listen, Walt... don't call us... we'll call you!...
G'bye!

Thanks Bob.

Drink!

A friend sent me this Newhart gem:

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

[Cisco Kid]

Bob is an icon. He caused much laughter and helped the long time Inn owners in VT to cash out to Yuppies loaded with 1980's money. As for Lou, we all gotta go sometime and before Nov 20 is as good as any.

[BCMtnHound]

One of the best. Thanks for all the laughs and sardonic wit, Mr Newhart!

[JimmyCarter]

Decent roaster too

RIP Bob

[garyfromterrace]

Thanks Bob.

Drink!

Yes!
Man, that guy shaped my sense of humour. Original Bob Newhart show was the shit, Newhart II was pretty damn good too. But his standup...
See ya later Mr. Newhart. And, when I do....
Hi Bob!

[mcski]

Thanks Bob.

Drink!

Hi Bob was our favorite drinking game in college. Never a problem finding a re-run to get the afternoon buzz goin. And if you’ve ever played Hi Bob, you know that happened fast!

Daryl, his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl….then the look from Newhart…no words…fucking hilarious

That bit doesn’t seem so weird and out there today, but in the era of the show it was absolute insanity and hilarious

[BCMtnHound]

Larry, his brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl….then the look from Newhart…no words…fucking hilarious

Yes it was. Dead critters and all. This and Faulty Towers. What was it with Inns during the 70’s?

[k2skier112]

Generations of laughter. RIP Bob
Even kids got to see him on TBBT

[Shredhead]

Saw Bob and Don live at the Wheeler in Aspen. They were hilarious and you could tell they loved each other.

[RShea]

Bump- CBS has a Bob Newhart tribute on right now about his life and comedy career...

[mcski]

Could be the most epic session of Hi Bob ever.
Who’s in?

RIP Bob.

That was his second Bob Newhart Show that was a sitcom, but he actually had 3 shows called The Bob Newhart Show. First was a short lived talk show in early 1960's and that was his first show on Television according to the Tribute show last night.

[mcski]

Different names actually. Not counting his short lived 60s show it went :
The Bob Newhart Show
Newhart
Bob

His joke was if he did another show it would be called “The”
