Bob Newhart on the carpet for the Bob Newhart Show
Emmy winner and television icon, Bob Newhart, changed the world of comedy with his signature deadpan humor and stumbling delivery of cheeky punchlines that solidified him as a comedic genius. Newhart initially gained notoriety in 1960 with his album of comedic gags, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, which today still reigns as the 20th best-selling comedy album in history and earned Newhart a Grammy for Best Album of the Year.
Newhart is one of Newhart's top-tier sitcoms that earned 25 Primetime Emmy Award nominations throughout its eight-season run. The comedian stars as a do-it-yourself author whose dry, blunt humor goes over a majority of his new neighbors, making a formula for comedy gold. In 2005, TV Guide named the series finale, 'The Last Newhart', as the most unexpected moment on television and also ranked it as the fourth unforgettable finale in television history.
Bob was the third sitcom designed as a vehicle for Newhart, but it wasn't as successful as his previous shows and only lasted two seasons. Aside from Newhart's inevitable comedy, the series should also be noted for going the extra mile on its subject of comics and for bringing in major players in the comic book industry as guest stars, such as Batman co-creator Bob Kane, Melvin Lazarus, and MAD magazine contributor Sergio Aragones.
Newhart turns the table on the fans who are used to seeing him as Jefferies and gives them a first-hand look into his character's television persona, Professor Proton, who used scientific theories on everyday objects and was one of the few sources of information that intrigued the young Sheldon, inciting his deep infatuation with the subject.
