RIP Bob Newhart, age 94

I had the pleasure of taking g my wife and son to see him at the Hershey Theatre almost 20 years ago. He was the king of dry comedy. I loved his bit where he's the night watchman at the empire state building when King Kong was climbing it.

RIP Bob. You will be missed.
 
He was a comedic genius. This was IMO the funniest bit from his "Newhart" show, which was one of the best sitcoms ever.

 
He would have the longest pregnant pauses, with that priceless expression on his face.

When he was on with Johnny Carson…….Johnny would be cracking up and Newhart stayed in perfect character…..Gold!
He could get more laughs from a single word delivered at just the right time in the perfect tone of voice. He will be missed.
