To get our entertainment fix in 2024, we have to come here and watch Johnny. He was always good for a laugh when he was alive, and he is still doing it all these years after he passed. Thanks, Johnny!
@HardRockMiner: It's about 2 AM Saturday morning. Couldn't sleep so I got up and tuned in for some much needed humor. Years ago my then 11 year old son loved to stay up and watch a little late night TV when possible during the week (no school next day). One night I told him he had to go to bed for school the next day. He glared at me and in a very angry and gravelly voice he said "I know what you two do in there at night, pointing to the master bedroom, you watch Johnny Carson"! Then he stormed off to bed. He and his family live 50 miles from us today but as I watched this clip I was expecting the door to burst open and see him shout "Aha! I new I was right." Sure miss Johnny and all of the tremendous talent he had on his shows over the years.
@@pietwandelaar1743 That was just Rickles act. In real life, he was a nice, kind, down to earth loving and giving man. It's like Jack Benny had the reputation for being very cheap. That was just his act. In real life he was very generous and gave a lot of money to charity.
They were dear friends in real life. Admired each other’s comic genius and warm hearts. Relaxed in each other’s company. Genuine light hearted conversation. A joy to watch. Thank you for this.
I’ve loved him from New Zealand my whole life after finding a Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart in my parents record collection in the 1970s. He embodies the best of America to me, the dry easy-going but sharp personality. Brilliant man.
Very nice to say. As a Canadian (and North America); I always think of him just being popular here. Very nice to hear of the appreciation from another great country. I loved The Bob Newhart Show -- soooo funny. And as widely agreed, his finale of NEWHART is probably down as the Best/Funniest/Unique final show ever. :-)
I’m at the point in my life where I can only drink a shot of water when someone says “Hi Bob”. But then I have to pee a lot! But at my age, I have to pee a lot anyway. RIP, Bob. You were a great comedian and an even better man!
Man, do I wish it was 1974 again! I was 25 and the world was my oyster! Now all I have is the shell. I loved Bob Newhart, and I'm glad there is still video of great comedians like him and George Carlin.
Johnny was great at allowing his guest to be themselves, and it usually turned out natural and funny. I remember when Dean Martin kept flickering his cigarette ashes into another guests' cup. It was so hard for Johnny to keep a straight face.😊😊😊
Bob’s outfit is a trip! For many years, i NEVER EVER thought Mr. Newhart was funny. However, as a got older, i took a chance and watched his classic TV show on “Hulu” and i loved it. “The Bob Newhart Show” is a classic.
Today's media just wants to be Democrat political propaganda. It also doesn't respect the intellect of the audience. Old shows like Johnny Carson were made by smart people for an audience of decent, smart people. Yes it was frivolous and fun, but these were smart people and they produced content that respected us. Today's shows just want to be woke. So boring.
The conversation was much wittier. Kohnny is the master at setting up, and working with his guests. His other strength was going along in impromptu situations.
His shows in our area seemed to be on Sunday nights. Those shows were needed to address the upcoming weekdays. He had the ability to insult the host, and the host would laugh at himself. I had an uncle like that who would make your stomach ache. Being Irish gave him a head start. 😂❤🎉
Johnny Carson was fantastic. My dad watched him every night. Bob Newhart was comedy genius. He'll be missed too. Imagine being so addicted to smoking, he couldn't even wait for a commercial break for a drag -- a different era. RIP
By 1974 when this was taped, the landmark Surgeon General's report had been out for 10 years and warnings were on packs starting in 1966. Only people living in caves didn't know smoking was dangerous.
@@stevenburns8817 Once addicted to Nicotine difficult to stop. In the UK they came out in 1971 by which time I had been smoking 5 years. One health specialist said that he found it easier to get people off Heroin than Nicotine. Of course vaping is endemic now and will have the same problems the nicotine causes in blood circulation. I gave up smoking when I saw an infra red picture of a man inhaling a cigarette and his body instantly lit up as the surface capillaries opened. Coupled with a ride on a bus with someone struggling with chronic emphysema sitting behind me. The then text warnings had little effect. Nobody here believes anything the government says any way with good reason especially nowadays.
One of the great regrets of my life is that I never got to see Bob Newhart perform in person. I can only imagine how amazing he was. Thank God we have these wonderful snippets from Johnny Carson and others. You gentlemen are sorely missed.
What I have trouble wrapping my head around...... Johnny's show ran 30 years from 1962 to 1992 it seemed to run forever. 1992 to today 2024 means his show has been gone two years longer then it ran....WOW doesn't seem it was that long ago I saw his goodbye show.
@@ms2189 hopefully after the regressive times some new talents will emerge and, if we are still alive ... we'll be happy to support them , world-wide . I am in France i'd love to see them here also.
He lives about 30 minutes from me. I fantasize about running into him in the produce section at the market. (In all reality, I'd probably break down blubbering.)
His Paul Revere joke had me lol'in too. And his comment about his wife's broken toe made me think of the scene in The Dick Van Dyke show when Laura got her big toe stuck in the bathtub faucet. Like a lot of folks, I've been watching the various videos of Bob's appearances. Timeless and classic and still funny all these years later. RIP, Bob and thank you again for all the laughs.
I have always loved Bob Newhart and The Bob Newhart Show with Suzanne Pleshette was my favorite. Began watching him on the Ed Sullivan show many years ago.
Bob Newhart's dry sense of humor is genius! He's always been one of my favorites along with Johnny,so fond of those days.People these days have no idea just how good AND funny they were AND no profanity whatsoever!
I still have 1 or 2 of his LPs. The bit that comes to mind is the one with the night watchman/security guard at the Empire State Building, when King Kong climbs it.
Bob Newhart, I believe, had the first comedy record that hit it big. It was 1960 and #1 on the Billboard "Mono Action Albums" chart for fourteen weeks. AND it won the 1961 Grammy for "Album of the Year." Many people today don't know just how big and well known he was "back in the day." The album is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." It is still a classic.
Bob Newhart had major success with stand-up and sketch comedy in nightclubs and his first TV show and with Grammy Award winning albums, then he managed to move naturally into the central role in two long-running comedy series. It only takes talent.
Funniest scene ever -- ending of the last episode of the Newhart show, the one in Vermont, with Bob back in the bedroom set from his earlier show. And then Suzanne Pleshette sits up! So smart, so funny.
There will never be another Bob Newhart. He was great in everything he did. Catch-22 really showed his comedic genius. Rather than say rest in peace, I prefer to say, "hi, Bob."
This set here is the greatest television set of all time. When I was a kid, I thought that the view behind Johnny was real. No set designer has ever done anything better.
@@jillsy2815 Psychologist. PhD, not MD. To me, it was that funnier show after Mary Tyler Moore. That shot of him crossing the Chicago River in the title sequence was the only part shot in Chicago. And it reminds me of Friday nights with the family around aged 10.
This is wonderful. Where do the years go…I was 19 when this first aired. In many ways, it seems like yesterday. Thank you for posting this great interview.
These two men truly admired and enjoyed each other's company. Both posessed a wonderfully understated, dry wit. That's why Newhart was a guest on Carson 17 times. And he guest hosted the Tonight Show 87 times. A couple of very special Americans.
This segment really showed how Johnny Carson could be self-effacing to permit his guest to continue with his/her own performance ideas for the show and to shine. Wow. Johnny Carson, The Best. 💯
When I was a kid, I wanted to play trumpet because of Tijuana Brass. Doc Severinson was why I was always trying to stay up late for the Tonight Show, back in 6th grade!
Doc finally retired? I didn’t think he ever would! Mad props to him for his longevity! When my wife and I saw him in concert (when he was a ripe, young 71 years old), he still practiced 5 hours a day. Just amazing!
My dad's copy of Bob's second LP "The Buttoned Down Mind Strikes Back" surfaced after his 80s show ended. I recommend any of Bob's LPs on Warner Brothers--each one has a gem or two on it.
I miss these shows and am so glad people like you post them. I just watched at night all the Bob Newhart Shows and they still make me laugh. Thanks for these memories.
This is like the fourth time they have uploaded a Newhart clip and each time I have to do a quick google search. Tricks me every time, but I'm really happy that he is still alive.
He was in “Hell is for Heroes” with Steve McQueen. Weird part, but he did his schtick. He was supposed to get on the radio and convince the enemy there were many more of them in one spot on the front line at his position than actually were. It has all his style in it, to the T.
When Newhart did the skit about the witch doctor talking about his advanced age saying " I don't dance around a hut much anymore." is one example of the little nuances Newhart added to his comedic skits that always increase the levity. Plus Bob Newhart never used profanity in his comic routines.
Bob would set up such a fantastic premise that most comics would take over the top, but he was so sly with his low ball style that you never knew what was coming next. Except that it would be hilarious.
Without a doubt, Carson had the finest real life band w/Doc Severinson & band. After Johnny retired, I was wondering where they were playing and if still together? from 7/‘24: R.I.P. Bob Newhart, You’re well loved.
I have so many fond memories of back then, watching this with my dad who would laugh like crazy. It was simple, clean comedy. Not always great, but always good. And a certain decorum that is long since dead. Because of network censors, jokes had to be really subtle. And they pushed that envelope as far as they could.
As someone who has relatives in cajun country and originally from southwest Louisiana (30 minutes from Texas) and also listened to 60s and 70s country music as a little kid when this aired (and still do), I'm not offended. In fact, I agree with his cajun accent. Even I sometimes have trouble understanding my cajun relatives. Lol.
Thanks for all the laughter you brought to this old World. I know the line of people lined up to give you a hug upon your arrival at the Pearly Gates and to welcome you with cheers was a long one. I know too that your Dear Friend Mr. Rickles was cheering the loudest. Congratukations on your Angel Wings.
The class, humour, support for his guests success is unsurpassed then and now. Such a great show. I love how Newhart and Rickles were best friends. Diametrically opposite
To get our entertainment fix in 2024, we have to come here and watch Johnny. He was always good for a laugh when he was alive, and he is still doing it all these years after he passed. Thanks, Johnny!
Great point. And I still tape him on my DVR almost every night depending on the guest lineup. He is my wholesome fix. Boomer, signing out.😅🖖
yeah..the current crop leaves a bit to be desired.

@@godfreyzilla8608 😅 Thanks for the story and sharing your memories. Take care.
Newhart always comes off as a genuinely nice guy that you would be glad to have as a friend.
Fascinatingly, he was best friends with Don Rickles, to the point where they vacationed together for decades
@@Danjite Interesting to picture the unassuming Bob Newhart socializing with the Don Rickles, the brash master of personal insults.
He WAS a genuinely nice guy. I've never read anything bad about him.
@@pietwandelaar1743 That was just Rickles act. In real life, he was a nice, kind, down to earth loving and giving man.
It's like Jack Benny had the reputation for being very cheap. That was just his act. In real life he was very generous and gave a lot of money to charity.
@@Danjitereally?!!
Bobs delivery is just as important as the material itself.
Agreed. A master at timing. From conversationally to the witch doctor phone call...perfection.
Moreso. He was simultaneously comic and straight man.
I’m watching this video on July 22/2024. Bob Newhart just passed away at the age of 94 years. Rest in peace.
Missing one of the very best! ❤️
Watching the same year 7/24 two of the greats
July 25th here
Me too...
Loved Suzanne & Bob together.
RIP all of you.
Thanks for the fun!
🙏 💜 🌿
Thought and prayers to Larry, Darryl and Darryl.
RIP Bob and thanks for the laughs.
They were dear friends in real life. Admired each other’s comic genius and warm hearts. Relaxed in each other’s company. Genuine light hearted conversation. A joy to watch. Thank you for this.

Great comedy, groovy looking suits, and shag carpet!
I just loved Bob Newhart and he was a hoot with Johnny Carson. RIP, gentlemen.
RIP Bob thanks for the lifetime of laughs
Bob and Doc...still alive! 94 and 96 years old!! Wow! 🥰❤️
May we all be so fortunate! :-)
@@davebrown8853 Bob has just passed away at the age of 94. God bless him.

“I was drafted which I’m EXTREMELY proud of” 😂
Going to be a good time in Heaven when St. Peter says "Hi Bob."
Good One.
A lot of people will not get that but, a LOT of people will.
I’m at the point in my life where I can only drink a shot of water when someone says “Hi Bob”. But then I have to pee a lot!
But at my age, I have to pee a lot anyway.
RIP, Bob. You were a great comedian and an even better man!
One of the greatest, that's for sure.

Johnny is Super.👍
50!
@@ceanncora2 😞👏
Bob is a legend.
Never really noticed it before but Johnny Carson was quite generous to his guests allowing them to bask in the limelight!
Johnny was great at allowing his guest to be themselves, and it usually turned out natural and funny. I remember when Dean Martin kept flickering his cigarette ashes into another guests' cup. It was so hard for Johnny to keep a straight face.😊😊😊
Yea. But he could really be an asshole, especially when drinking. Bob Newhart told a story why he stopped socializing with him.
Black cat in your picture.
Yes.
True. Rickles always said that Carson always made his look good. Too bad today's host are all about themselves.
Bob’s outfit is a trip! For many years, i NEVER EVER thought Mr. Newhart was funny. However, as a got older, i took a chance and watched his classic TV show on “Hulu” and i loved it. “The Bob Newhart Show” is a classic.
cool story bro
His last show _Newhart_ was fantastic as well
Always been a big Bob Newhart fan. Watched lots of his incredible material. 😂😊
I always thought he was hilarious
Newhart is a master.
Another Icon is gone. RIP Bob!
Watching all these years later, you appreciate how superior the Tonight Show was then. There is literally nothing like it today.

People are selfish today.

Conan can do it all. He combines all the positives and none of the negatives of other hosts. Plus a bunch of his own positives.
Rest in peace Bob. Thanks for the laughs.
Love Bob Newhart's honesty! Hard to find in a lot of people anywhere!!
The liar thinks everyone is lying
I loved his comedy and both sitcoms. RIP 😢🙏🏼
Newhart is amazing with his own sense of humor. One of a kind for sure.
"Doc" Severinsen is still alive at 96, too!
Just think, Doc was 50 year younger -- age 46
I saw him in concert when I was in college - what a show!
I spoke to Doc and his wife at the Rhode Island airport in 2018. He was returning from a gig on Cape Cod. Still performing at age 90.
He lives about 30 minutes from me. I fantasize about running into him in the produce section at the market. (In all reality, I'd probably break down blubbering.)
@@IVthHorseman Hope you have your random encounter!
Always loved Bob’s phone sketches.
Yep, such dry, straight-faced sketches, and in a way he also kinda reminds me a bit of Father Guido Sarducci
The driving instructor!
Tobacco ?!
I love both these men. I still watch Johnny Carson reruns of his show every night when I work out.
Me too! Every night when I drink, er, “work out”.
His Paul Revere joke had me lol'in too. And his comment about his wife's broken toe made me think of the scene in The Dick Van Dyke show when Laura got her big toe stuck in the bathtub faucet.

Funniest scene ever -- ending of the last episode of the Newhart show, the one in Vermont, with Bob back in the bedroom set from his earlier show. And then Suzanne Pleshette sits up! So smart, so funny.
And it was all just a dream. That was one of the all time great moments in television.
Best ending of any Series…make that two series , bar none. The gasp as the lights came up on the old set..and the sweater gag…..pure class.

There will unfortunately never be anything as genuinely funny as this
RIP Bob. You were a brilliant comedian. Say hello to Johnny in Heaven.
Bob and Johnny prove that the ties from the Seventies were their own source of comedy.
Ever see a 7" wide tie? My "general shop" teacher, Mr. Bolcar, had one and many other ties. 1968-70.
Bob looks so young here. He lived 50 years more. RIP
R.I.P. Bob Newhart,😢😢😢😢 entertain God for us.
Bob Newhart and George Gobel... the Masters of Understatement.

Loved the Bob Newhart show, loved the music and seeing the EL of Chicago area!!
The very best of the best ! Thank you for existing !
One of my favorite comics. Don Rickles is looking forward tomorrow seeing him again.
It goes without saying how superior this is to any of the late night talk shows we have now.
Check out the Graham Norton show, for starters.

Bob would set up such a fantastic premise that most comics would take over the top, but he was so sly with his low ball style that you never knew what was coming next. Except that it would be hilarious.
Someone once said, "You know you are funny if you don't have to cuss".
Bob is a national treasure.
I really miss those days. Such elevated class everywhere.
Those were the good ol' days...
Without a doubt, Carson had the finest real life band w/Doc Severinson & band. After Johnny retired, I was wondering where they were playing and if still together? from 7/‘24: R.I.P. Bob Newhart, You’re well loved.
RIP Bob Newhart & Johnny Carson.
I have so many fond memories of back then, watching this with my dad who would laugh like crazy. It was simple, clean comedy. Not always great, but always good. And a certain decorum that is long since dead. Because of network censors, jokes had to be really subtle. And they pushed that envelope as far as they could.
I was 14 yrs old and loved this show, and Bob's original was great and the 2nd one was really good too
Loved Bob Newhart ! Thanks for all the laughs!
Hi Bob Bye Bob🙁. Miss the days when everyone was watching the same show and enjoyed it
Bob is such a genuine good guy. We will miss him.
This channel just keeps on bringing the best of Mr Carson and all of his wonderful guests! Thank You!!! ❤️
As someone who has relatives in cajun country and originally from southwest Louisiana (30 minutes from Texas) and also listened to 60s and 70s country music as a little kid when this aired (and still do), I'm not offended. In fact, I agree with his cajun accent. Even I sometimes have trouble understanding my cajun relatives. Lol.
Always loved Bob.
Thanks for all the laughter you brought to this old World. I know the line of people lined up to give you a hug upon your arrival at the Pearly Gates and to welcome you with cheers was a long one. I know too that your Dear Friend Mr. Rickles was cheering the loudest. Congratukations on your Angel Wings.
"Hi, I am Larry, this is my brother Darrel, and this is my other brother Darrel". (I VERILY remember that line and I am 45).
Actual I have a brother in law named Darrel
I've always liked Bob Newhart, since I was a kid, in the '70s.
Me to!

The class, humour, support for his guests success is unsurpassed then and now.
Such a great show.
I love how Newhart and Rickles were best friends. Diametrically opposite
