About this listen

In this week's tribute episode, Janet, John, (and Pen) discuss the life and career of a wonderful American comedian and actor who came to prominence in 1960 and is known for his deadpan delivery style... Bob Newhart. Starting out by engaging in humorous telephone conversations with a friend in which he improvised characters to alleviate boredom at his office job, the actor would go on to receive three Grammys, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe Award. After catching attention from a local DJ he began his career as a stand-up comedian, and transitioned to working in television in the series Newhart after his album of comedic monologues became a bestseller. Known for films like Hell Is for Heroes (1962), Hot Millions (1968), Catch-22 (1970), Cold Turkey (1971), The Rescuers (1977), In & Out (1997), First Family (1980), Elf (2003), and more.
