Bob Newhart The Cruise of The U S S Codfish on The Ed Sullivan Show

Before Bob Newhart...uh...Bob Newhart?

[@lizbiedinger9065]

I'm 83 and I remember the first time I saw him on the Ed Sullivan Show. His humour was always so gentle and so relatable. I know he will be resting in peace. Thanks Bob. ❤

[@charylliss3741]

Me too❣️

[@sartainja]

Plus he never said a cuss word.

[@jeffreyl3473]

He swears like anyone. Bloopers from his numerous shows has him letting go of a few shits and fuck.

[@sartainja]

@@jeffreyl3473 I stand corrected.

Works based religions won't get you to heaven.

[@rickward3363]

“his humor was always so gentle…” I love that characterization of him. So perfect.

Lovely man Bob Newhart you brought joy and laughter to many RIP❤

I had 2 albums from the early 60s "the button down mind of Bob Newhart" and behind the button down mind of Bob Newhart" both are terrific

[@marcob6880]

Bob was one of the funniest people who ever lived. He developed his own genre delivered in an excellent deadpanned demeanor!

[@hughmanatee7657]

Excellent the way he starts slow and, while keeping the same dull tone, brings out more and more of the craziness on board.

[@p8ryot]

They say it's all about the delivery in comedy, Bob Newhart was a comedic genius using stuttering, pauses, and subtle hand gestures also. He was a comedic natural amongst the very best.

[@IncogNito-gg6uh]

Stammering! Stammering!😂

[@gns423]

R.I.P. Mr. Newhart. Thanks so much for a lifetime of laughter.

[@thunderousapplause]

my entire childhood was filled with enjoying Bob Newhart, and all his shows and all the guest spots. My parents loved him so. And us kids did too.

[@user-hn8lm8th8k]

A wonderful man who had his own universe of humor to help when this universe needed it. Thank you!

[@StevenTorrey]

January 8, 1961. Who knew in 1961 that in the 1970s and 1980s he would star in two of the great TV Comedy shows? RIP!

[@TheSunsetjames]

When I was a supervisor, I used some of the way he talks when speaking to my employees and it eased them up and worked better with me than they did with the other supervisors. You just don't order workers, you also have to talk to them.

[@johnbrooks595]

Thanx for the laughs, Bob!

[@pauljenkins6877]

A true comedic genius. May he rest in peace.

[@markherzog9484]

The master of the dead pan monologue and one sided phone call sketches…..🤗🤗🤗

[@katespear1233]

Loved him forever. RIP🙏

[@user-em4hv5fq3k]

The timing and delivery were exceptional...

[@joemonahan2972]

Such a good, clean comic who made day to day life normal life funny. Thank you for blessing us with your talents and did not stay in accounting. Joe from Smyrna Delaware

[@johnchodacki-u4g]

God bless..the kid from St. Igñatius..You are still the best.

[@cmherbs]

I never saw one of him that young before thanks for posting this

[@tech-cetera4854]

‘“Goodbye Bob”

[@sartainja]

Amen. G-d rest his soul. Via his memory and his comedy.

[@RichardCook-on3gf]

Another of the greats.

[@seekingtruthnotfindingany7301]

Brilliant as ever

[@kevintsetse8440]

He had a record years ago..and one of the bits was Bob as a driver instructor. He admonished his student for going 80 mph....backing out of the driveway.

[@tomdooley4226]

That was really funny! I used to look forward to his weekly TV show. Great characters!

[@carolgarabedian01]

He seemed so nice.

[@feralbluee]

he was soo special. :} 🌷🌱

[@marytyrrell4465]

Nobody better than Bob N.

[@judikingsman6132]

Takes me back to the 60s ❤😂

[@mrzoinky5999]

He had his own special style.

[@ethanmckinney203]

I was laughing so hard, I was crying.

[@44032]

A little different from the one on the "Button Down" record. It shows he varried his routines or continued to develop them as he went along.

[@brucegibbins3792]

I can imagine Bob Newhart shipping out with McHales Navy.

[@AngelaPennock]

Loved ‘the dog’ one

[@marksandoval3126]

RIP Bob Newhart you were a legend! Say hi to Don 😊

[@roberthimmelman3816]

Creator of the comedy album

[@vinniedemarco9656]

❤️🙂🙏🇺🇸⚓

[@kurtisengle6256]

You had 3 choices, back then. What would they have done to the cast of Saturday Night Live! (May be best not to think about it)

[@kurtisengle6256]

Full disclosure : didn't bother watching Bob Neuharts act. What do they call deja vu before you've seen it? Predictable?

[@judikingsman6132]

Funny not filthy ❤

[@thneed1]

Rest in Peace Chi-town boy

[@paulzach1]

Hard laugh!!

[@sandravanek869]

I bet soldiers disdain those who were assigned KP duty. Including cooks. Not smart to insult those who prepare your food.
