Tributes pour in for the late star, remembered for his unique brand of humor
Newhart's legacy as a comedic icon will continue to entertain audiences for generations to come
The entertainment world is mourning the loss of comedy legend Bob Newhart, who passed away at the age of 94 on Thursday. Newhart, known for his trademark stammer and deadpan delivery, left an enduring legacy on both television and the stand-up circuit.
After serving in the United States Army during World War II, Newhart embarked on a career in comedy in the 1950s. His breakthrough came in 1960 with the release of his album "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart," which won two Grammy Awards.
Newhart's success on record led to a string of television appearances, including hosting "The Bob Newhart Show" from 1961 to 1962 and "The New Bob Newhart Show" from 1972 to 1978. Both sitcoms featured Newhart's signature brand of humor, which often revolved around the mundane and absurd.
In addition to his television work, Newhart also enjoyed a successful film career, appearing in such movies as "Catch-22" (1970), "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), and "Elf" (2003).
Newhart's death has been met with an outpouring of grief and admiration from fans and fellow comedians alike. Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who worked with Newhart on the movie "The Empire Strikes Back," described him as "one-of-a-kind."
