Death of Bob Newhart. (age 94)

Comments

  • Yup, sad. His phone conversations were hilarious. He was also a genuinely good guy. RIP

    Yes. Ditto what @Mark said.

    Newhart was the greatest solo dead-pan artist ever. He brought to life very real “characters” only through the sheer power of imagination in those phone call skits. In sit-com settings he could utter words meant to “mask” his inner feelings, while revealing through tone / gesture the very opposite for hilarious effect.
