Legendary Comedian Bob Newhart Passes Away at 94
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

American comedy legend Bob Newhart, known for his deadpan delivery, has died at 94. Star of “The Bob Newhart Show,” Newhart passed away at home after brief illnesses, his publicist confirmed.

Starting as an accountant in Chicago, Newhart transitioned to stand-up comedy and guest-hosted Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show” 87 times. He also appeared in “Elf” and “The Big Bang Theory.”

Born to a plumber in a Chicago suburb, Newhart earned a business degree from Loyola University in 1952. After two years in the Army during the Korean War, he briefly attended law school before pursuing comedy. Discovered by a local DJ in 1959, he recorded “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart,” the first comedy album to top the charts, followed by seven more successful albums.

Newhart’s publicist, Jerry Digney, noted his career began with him working as an accountant by day and performing comedy by night. Known for his long, humorous stories rather than single punchlines, Newhart’s unique, stammering delivery set him apart. His stand-up routine often featured a telephone prop for imagined conversations.

Newhart continued performing into his 80s. Tributes poured in from industry peers, including Judd Apatow, Kaley Cuoco, Paul Feig, and Jamie Lee Curtis, all praising his kindness, humor, and influence.

Survived by four children and many grandchildren, Newhart’s wife of 60 years, Virginia “Ginnie” Newhart, died in 2023.
