[@JonnM]

My father adored Bob Newhart. When we were little kids, back in the 60s, he used to play his records particularly over Christmas time. I still remember those times with great happiness. In my minds eye, I can still hear my Dad laughing heartily at ‘The Driving Instructor’, the story of how tobacco was introduced and the incompetent submarine commander.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

I bought a copy of his album back in the 1960's... love it and I still have it! His "driving instructor" and "tobacco" skits are brilliant.

[@kitspics526]

I loved Bob decades now. Love how Craig truly cracks Bob up. Both are great comedians

I love this guy, and it hurts to see him getting so old--and this was five years ago. Great sense of humor and comic delivery. Seems to be a genuinely nice man.

[@alberteinsteinlookalike]

I memorized all of his albums back in the 60s and 70s. Loved the guy...as does the whole world. Humor and Humility mixed together. That's who Bob was to me, and I think maybe a great deal of his fans. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the world was like Bob?!?

[@worldissuesmatter1643]

That it so funny, the way they interact there.

[@Zaacharia]

I remember Bob talking about the 'executives' trying to fix his show: "Bob, could you talk a little faster - those pauses slow things down" & "we've decided to add a kid to the show" to which Bob replied "What a wonderful idea - who are you going to get to play Bob". Bob knew his humor, knew what was funny, and knew what he wanted. I grew up listening to him on the radio (plug: CKCK/CK62 from out of Regina); I had insomnia and CK62 had a 2 hour comedy show from like 1:00am to 3:00am. Thanks for the memories.

he's always kept his comedy clean and relatable. love his show in Chicago.

[@LiveMusicOntario]

Nope. A friend who was a huge fan got tickets to see him live in Toronto around 1988 and she'd barely talk about it the next day. She said he was foul mouthed and had a nasty temperament that wasn't part of the show. He just came across as a total 180 to the sitcoms she watched all the time. This wasn't the Bob Newhart of his TV shows and she was really upset, more than annoyed. She never watched another Newhart show after that.

[@Vazgenaguz]

The only guy that wasnt just listening to legends being guests, but was fully in the conversations and was equaly funny! Don, Larry, Bob e.t.c.

[@hunglikeahamster3248]

Well, it took Bob dying for me to find this out, but there's a lot of stuff on KZbin (like this) that I had no idea existed. It's helping me deal with the loss, honestly - kinda like a wake but he's the one making us laugh through the sadness... I'm gonna watch everything I can and it looks like that will take a while. Thanks, Bob. You da man.

I was at a bad point in my life -- undiagnosed diabetes, actually no big deal, unless untreated -- and Craig, every night, made life worth living and gave me something to look forward to. The show was always a silly, f*ck it ROMP, but in the interviews, like with Newhart, he had an intuitive skill for finding the best in his guests and drawing it out -- simply by making them feel as at ease as the audience at home. Never saw him "muff" one. Greatness, Craig. Thanks.

Bob always reminded me of that one teacher you had in high school who could drone on for a few minutes until the class fell into a stupor, then would just, out of the blue, say the weirdest, funniest thing you had ever heard...It would go over the heads of most people. but if you were lucky enough to catch it, you would never forget it, and you would never really look at life in the same way again...

Silly jokes is the way to go, people pretend to be smart or interesting, and Craig was the last interesting host.

The amazing thing about Bob is that if not for a quirk of fate, he would have spent his life as an accountant in Chicago. He just happened to know a guy from college who got into the radio business and when the guy was looking for guest for his show he recalled that Bob was always funny in school. So he invited Bob on his Chicago radio show and the rest is his as they say.
