      His first album (1960) launched his fame. I will say that he stood on the shoulders of a giant, though... the legendary Shelley Berman.
      But he stood well on his own as well.

    I remember watching the closing scene of the finale of “Newhart” and my parents having to explain the joke. “The Bob Newhart Show” ended the month before I was born, but I came to love Bob for his later work.

    I remember Bob so well from when I was a kid. He really was funny but unique at the same time. Never yelled. Was never rude or disrespectful to others. Pure situational comedy and so much of it came from him. He may have had writers on the side, but many of the ideas were original. RIP Bob.

    "The Bob Newhart Show" was one of my dad's favorite sitcoms during the 1970s. And he was a fan of Bob's standup comedy in the 1960s; he would recount to me some of Bob's signature routines (the one-sided phone call, the bus driver). I saw Bob in person once, in 1990 (and I remember watching this 1990 interview when it first aired), when he visited the UCLA campus library where I was working at the time as an undergrad. Thank you, Bob, for the memories!

He didn't need to win over a lot of comedy fans from the rest of the world but he did have them including me. Rest well in peace and thank you, Bob.
