As a result, he was able to get his own television programs in the 1970s and 1980s, namely Newhart and The Bob Newhart Show.
“I tend to find humor in the macabre,” he said in a 1990 interview with Los Angeles Magazine on his comedic approach.
You only see around eighty-five percent of me on TV. Meanwhile, the remaining 15% is a guy who is severely mentally ill.
In addition to his own series, Newhart has been in other successful films and television programs, such as Elf, Legally Blonde 2, Horrible Bosses, In and Out, and Young Sheldon,
The Big Bang Theory, and ER. His work on The Big Bang Theory garnered him one of ten Emmy nominations over his career.
