Bob Newhart – Age 93

Would you believe something exemplary can come out of boredom? Bob Newhart was struggling to make sense of his desk job as a copywriter in 1958 when he began making up stories to regale his friends on the phone. Soon, he was coming up with comedy sketches that had the audience roaring with laughter.

Two years later, the ace standup comedian released an album, ‘The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart’, full of comedic monologues that went on to win major awards and made him an overnight success. Still, Bob’s fame was in for a further boost when he appeared on hit shows like ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘The Librarian.’
