Don’t go by the calm, reasonable voice, stuttering delivery, deadpan eyes, and poker-faced look of Bob Newhart – he had the ability to tickle even the hardest of your bones in a funny way! What differentiated him from his comedian counterparts was the fact that, unlike others who employed tricks and punches, he got his audience into a laughter riot with a cantankerous voice and calm demeanor. Interestingly the stammer and the stutter that we had grown fond of was not an inherent Newhart trait but a self-made one! Comedy came naturally to this former accountant and advertising copywriter who shot to fame with his 1960s-released humorous monologue, ‘The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart’. The album not only became a bestseller but chronicled to the No. 1 position on the Billboard Pop chart, spawning the release of its sequels and other albums. Other than this, he also appeared in a number of television shows and films, the most notable venture being ‘The Bob Newhart Show’ which expanded for six seasons including 142 episodes. Three-time Grammy award winner, Newhart’s trademark one-sided conversation and telephone monologues captured the hearts of millions of his fans worldwide.
