Hi, Bob: Newhart can still leave 'em laughing

Comedian Bob Newhart brought his long-running standup act to the AARP convention in Boston and proved again that humor has a gentle side. Who else gets laughs without going beyond "the throes of passion"?

@benny42000 Both?

There were three. One called "Bob" and both "Newhart" shows .

@GayIthacan He spoke there because he got paid to speak there. Also, Bob can even make A Democrat laugh which is a tall order given their flaccid sense of humor.

@firestartertwistedfi Accepted and respected. But, (obviously) the two are potentially interchangeable......as in - Which came first, the chicken or the egg ? But I think from my own observation I agree that he could not ever have been anything other than a nice man. But who knows - his best friend is Don Rickles !!

@170672346 Surely you have that the wrong way round?

[nitramgnal]

@philtheduck09 Oh, I wouldn't say he was underrated. He was a huge star.

[Roelverheggen1]

class !

[goodoldbill]

He's one of the best ever. Right up there with Carlin and Pryor.

[benny42000]

Bob is great. Both of his t.v shows were classic comedy.

[philtheduck09]

such an underated talent.

I grew up on Bob Newhart & enjoyed every minute

[GayIthacan]

He probably spoke there because he has more in common with them than,oh, say, the idiotic Republican Party dinner or some inane Chamber of Commerce convention.
