R.I.P. Bob Newhart

[Puller]

One of the funniest men who ever lived has passed. Thanks for the laughs, Sir.

He passed again?

 

[Krogen]

Bob Newhart and Tim Conway. The best of the best. Two immensely creative and funny men that make me hurt from laughing.

He's on my Mt. Rushmore of comedy. Carlin, Pryor, Newhart. Last spot I can't decide. Probably Chappelle. With honorable mentions to Brooks and Dangerfield.

Look at the youtube videos of John Pinette. He would get my vote.

Steven Wright too. Frank Gorshin did a fantastic Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas among others. I know he was an impressionist but he made me laugh pretty good. You know all these comedians we mentioned all used no foul language or politics in their acts. Except Carlin
who was very funny but got pretty mean in his older years.

As Dan Akroyd said, "still dead".

 

[S-W4EVER]

I wouldn't include Carlin in that group. His career eventually digressed into a very despondent diatribe against the government that wasn't funny, at least to me.

Probably because his humor was so prophetic.

Big difference. Bob Newhart was funny. Tim Conway was silly.

Is Fozzy Bear still alive? He and the two old guys in the balcony kept me in stitches.

 

[John in Yuma]

That's how I wanna go!
With half the crowd not knowing I'm gone and composing heartfelt goodbye sentiments, and the other half feeling smug 'cause they knew it all along.
Bob would be amused.
