Bob Newhart, among TV's most enduring stars with shows stretching back more than five decades, wept as he finally captured his first Emmy Award.

I didn't realize he'd never won an Emmy

[Buckeye McFrog]

Considering his five decades of accomplishments in that industry, truly a travesty.

I didn't realize he'd never won an Emmy

Neither did I. It's about time.

Bob is far more talented than most of today's comedians.

I saw his guest appearance on Big Bang Theory. He deserved this Emmy.

[Common Sense 101]

Absolutely right. He still has great delivery and timing, and you could tell that the Big bang cast truly enjoyed working with him.

[bmwcyle]

About time, he is one of the funnest men in history.

[dfwgator]

Amen.......This is probably his most funniest “5 Minutes” ever.

[Nevadan]

And he is capable of being funny without referring to sex or bathroom humor! What a concept!

[bmwcyle]

STOP IT

[dfwgator]

If only the shooter yesterday spent five minutes with Bob, he would have been cured.

I didn't realize he still walked among us - he looked old in the 70s.

Funny guy, though. Good for him.

[longtermmemmory]

His comedy is timeless.

I am disapointed it was for a single appearance where he was a giant among 1/4 talent hacks.

[latina4dubya]

He and Don Rickles are best buds...

I saw an interview with the cast of "Big Bang Theory". They all said (or agreed) that "Mr Newhart delivers his lines, when Mr Newhart is good and ready".

Interesting comment, I thought. Showed the difference between generations. Newhart is a comedian who understands that comic timing and delivery is everything. I suspect that he could read the Yellow Pages and make people grin.

The rest of the cast - while funny - make their trade on the script and the characters they've created. They've got a good show, but I think that it's unlikely we'll be seeing any of them at the Emmy Awards when they're 80. Unless it's to reprise the characters they created for "BBT".

[RedMDer]

So you mean that whole thing with the inn never really happened?

[RedMDer]

LOL!

Do you remember the Bob Newhart?
(with Suzanne Pleshette)

Then he went on to do the Newhart show, the series finally of that show was the greatest ever on TV.

[skeeter]

His comedy is timeless.

Agreed. His timing and halting manner of delivery were/are hilarious.

[afraidfortherepublic]

LOL

[latina4dubya]

while he is certainly no Bob Newhart, Johnny Galecki (Leonard) has been around a good 21 years already... not a legend at this time, but not bad...

congratulations Bob for providing one of the handful of tv shows worth watching since the 70’s.
