Happy 90th Birthday Bob Newhart!!!
Born on September 5, 1929 in Oak Park, Illinois
Thanks for everything, so far...
American comedian and comedy actor with a trademark deadpan persona.
Newhart was drafted into the United States Army and served in the United States during the Korean War as a personnel manager until being discharged in 1954.
In 1958, Newhart became an advertising copywriter for Fred A. Niles, a major independent film and television producer in Chicago. There, he and a co-worker entertained each other with long telephone calls about absurd scenarios, which they later recorded and sent to radio stations as audition tapes.
Dan Sorkin, a disc jockey at a radio station who later became the announcer-sidekick on Newhart's NBC series, introduced Newhart to the head of talent at Warner Bros. Records. The label signed him in 1959, only a year after it was formed, based solely on those recordings. Newhart expanded his material into a stand-up routine, which he began to perform at nightclubs.
Newhart's success in stand-up led to his own short-lived NBC variety show in 1961, The Bob Newhart Show.
Although he is primarily a television star, Newhart has been in a number of popular films, beginning with the 1962 war story Hell Is for Heroes.
Some samples from his career:
Hell Is for Heroes 1962, with Bobby Darin
Hot Millions 1968, with Karl Malden, Peter Ustinov and others.
A semi-regular on The Dean Martin Show between 1965 and 1974, and other variety shows
Catch-22 1970
Cold Turkey 1971
The Bob Newhart Show 1972 to 1978 in 142 episodes
As the voice of Bernard in The Rescuers 1977 and it's sequel 1990.
Newhart TV-series from 1982 to 1990 in 182 episodes
In & Out 1997, with Kevin Kline
Elf 2003
As Judson in The Librerian movies, starting in 2004, seen here with Jane Curtin
Bob Newhart has acted in forty movie and television productions.
He won a Golden Globe in 1962 for Best TV Star - Male. He has also won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series (The Big Bang Theory) in 2013.
Since 1999 Bob Newhart has a television star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.
