Die Fernsehwelt trauert um Bob Newhart, der mit „The Bob Newhart Show“ schon in den 1970er Jahren begeisterte und zuletzt als Professor Proton bei „The Big Bang Theory“ auch ein jüngeres Publikum erreichte. Er wurde 94 Jahre alt.
In 1979, Bob Newhart played God on the anthology series INSIGHT.
“Dead, but not gone,” he says to co-star Jack Klugman, welcoming him to the afterlife.
It’s on YouTube if you'd like a good cry (and some laughs too):
Bob Newhart has died at age 94. Jerry Digney, Newhart’s publicist, says the actor died Thursday in Los Angeles after a series of short illnesses. The accountant-turned-comedian gained fame with a smash album and became one of the most popular TV stars of his time. Newhart was a Chicago psychologist in “The Bob Newhart Show” in the 1970s and a Vermont innkeeper on “Newhart” in the 1980s. Both shows featured a low-key Newhart surrounded by eccentric characters. The second had a twist ending in its final show — the whole series was revealed to have been a dream by the psychologist he played in the other show.
