Imagine dinner with *"the Rickles and Newharts"!* Don was a friend of my X husband, both managed by Sinatra's Manager, "Tony O" Opedesanno (Good People, for certain) I miss them, have such fabulous mems of the era and the individuals, (a few of the X too) lol 😂

    I'm 58, and I've also loved Bob Newhart since I first saw him. His timing, stuttering, and pausing while performing speaking roles and stand-up make it all sound so REAL. His delivery sets him apart and above all other comedians. I believe Ellen DeGeneres realized this early on, because I saw her first stand-up on Johnny Carson where she pretended to be on the phone with God, and she delivered the lines just as Bob does. I believe that helped her become a success early on.

    That was very fortunate for you and your husband. I would have loved to have encountered Bob Newhart in a public setting. Some things you never forget because they left you feeling a bit better. At age 13, me and a friend were standing in a line at the candy counter in the basement at Sears in Glendale California when he whispered to me, "Hey Marty, look how giant the guy that just came up behind you is". I pretended that I needed to see the wall clock and turned around to see Ted Cassidy("Lurch"). I knew it was him right away and I suddenly thought of something funny to say to him. In my most serious voice I looked him in the eye and said, "Hey kid, you here for the free popcorn too?" Then I 'innocently' waited for his answer back to me. He barely smiled and tried his best to hold the rest from appearing and he grew a set of sparkles in his eyes, too, letting me know that he got the joke, then said in his most Lurchiest, deep-grumble-groany voice, "Peeeanut MMMM and MMMMMMM'sssssss!!" Then I had to laugh and we spoke just a little bit. He seemed to be a bit lonely that afternoon, but I had said I didn't want to hold him "social hostage" or be a bothersome fan type so I had simple turned back to my friend John and then time marched right on. Later on Monday at school I had the bragging rights badge for a few days at lunchtime, and before and after school, too. That was back in 1970. I still recall it like yesterday.

    👍👍👍 Going back even farther (? further ?) I never tired of Jack Benny's approach to comedy. He always made himself the butt of the joke, of the sketch, of the show. Even today anyone who doesn't crack up at the "Your money or your life" sketch must have noodles in their noggin (to use another old phrase). Eddie Anderson's Rochester could have been a horrible stereotype but instead Jack always let him come out on top. FWIW they were longtime friends and Jack helped "grease the ways" for Eddie, who was a *very* wealthy man at the end of his life.

Best is when Carson keeps interupting him with unnecessary questions, and he says, "I didn't know this was going to be a quiz. I thought this was a talk show." Other brilliant observations are Carson's mood after a monologue and how he treats his guests, and how his family became "Alsatian" once World War II began....I have cousins who made that distinction, and it never occurred to me that THIS was the reason!

    When I was in law school in NYC in the 1980s, the Mary Tyler Moore show came on at 11 or so for 2 episodes and then the Bob Newhart show came on - all reruns of course, and I got to know all of them. When our school did its annual comedy "Law Revue" the play started out with the beginning notes to the Mary Tyler Moore show and the entire audience - including me - doubled over with laughter. And what I remember is 2 episodes of the MTM show being fantastic and that they primed us for the Bob Newhart show.

I think it was the first comedy album to ever get that sort of accolades. Got a grammy for Album of the Year in 1961. According to Wikipedia, it is the 20th best selling album of all time from all of the Billboard charts. Amazing.

    Bob is too humble. He is the much bigger talent than Anthony Quinn. His TV show with Suzanne Pleshette and the other top notch cast members was one of the top 10 TV shows of any kind that have EVER been on TV - funny, intelligent, never off-color, extremely interesting characters that you cared about.

    Have to disagree. Anthony Quinn received two Academy Awards and was nominated two other times. He received two BAFTA nominations and several golden globe nominations. He was/is bigger Star than Bob Newhart.

    @SAL You Tube Premium Note that I didn't say Newhart was a bigger STAR. I said that I think he was a bigger TALENT. I am well aware of Quinn's awards and I have seen all of his films, plays, etc. I was never impressed, especially his live Zorba. We left before intermission. I must say that I wasn't impressed by Bob's telephone albums. You like Tony. I like Bob. That's OK with me to have different opinions. It makes for better conversations during which we can learn more about why people have different beliefs.

    @Karl with a K Wow, Karl! Did Bob forget to invite you to his birthday party? He forgot to invite me too. 😢 Actually he forgot to invite me to EVERY party. Bob is a nice guy. I can imagine that a person who was known to have a "difficult" personality (Johnny) would like to have a friend or two who wasn't confrontational or competitive. Bob's wife was a daughter of Old Hollywood and was credited as being one of the nicest people on earth. I always found it interesting that the Newharts were best friends with Mr. and Mrs. Don Rickels. Suzanne Pleshette did marry a Hollywood heavyweight after she divorced Troy Donahue. She was a ribald and quick witted guest of Johnny's. She did some good work in some of her movies but her best work was as Emily, Bob's wife who was a combo of strength, brains, chemistry with the non-intense Dr. Bob, a fear of heights, and great taste in linens. But I don't think that Bob's career was because of any of those friendships. If we're looking for Hollywood friend/family connections being a key to career success, I think that Anthony Quinn would be the winner. He married Agnes DeMille, a stage and movie choreographer, who was the daughter of one of the kings of the movies, the director Cecil B. DeMille. Tony went on to have quite a few other relationships into his 80's. I've always thought that everyone can't like/admire/love the same person (even if it 's Anthony Quinn). If that were the case that one person would be too busy to work, clean up after the cat, watch TV, pick up the dry cleaning, etc. You like the performances of Anthony for your own reasons. That's great. Enjoy his work. As for me, I am not a fan. And I've seen his films, plays, etc. I would rather watch reruns of the first sitcom episodes with Bob Newhart. NOTE: just the FIRST sitcom - not the later ones. EXCEPT for the final episode of the final Newhart sitcom. The one where the person under those great sheets isn't the sweater wife. It's Emily, Ms. Suzanne Pleshette. Now that's entertainment. You be you and I'll be me. That is the way I like to live here on earth.

    The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart was the first comedy album to make number one on the Billboard charts and peaked at number two in the UK Albums Chart. It won two Grammy Awards, Album of the Year and Best New Artist. Album of the Year. Not a special comedy category. Album of the Year. I think he was rated pretty highly.
