    A man could do a lot worse than to spend so many years bringing so much joy to so many people. God rest him. ♥

    His funniest sketch in my opinion was the supposed telephone conversation with Walter Raleigh on the discovery of tobacco.

      His one sided telephone call monologs were master classes in comedy.
      You could imagine the person on the other side perfectly.

    Newhart had a seemingly effortless combination of an Everyman and a comedian. A natural wonderful talent.

    I saw Bob perform that same Disney strike routine live while in the audience of the Tonight Show just a few weeks before this. Getting to see him live was a privilege and I certainly miss him today. RIP, Bob!

    A real performer, he didn't turn his back to the audience moving toward his seat. Some hosts don't like that, but real performer prefer the audience. You can feel this slight in the tone of the host for the rest of the show.
