His career as an entertainer has spanned 56 years, including multiple television series, 14 feature films and millions of albums sold worldwide. He is the recipient of the “Mark Twain Prize for American Humor,” presented by the Kennedy Center, and inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ Hall of Fame.

Newhart has enjoyed much success in television and films and has hosted the “Tonight Show” an astonishing 87 times. His early TV effort, the “Bob Newhart Variety Show,” earned an Emmy® and a Peabody Award, and was quickly followed by the television success of “The Bob Newhart Show” (1972 – 1978) and “Newhart” (1982 – 1990).  He also has appeared in over 14 feature films, including “Elf,” “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever,” “Catch 22” and “Legally Blonde 2,” and has starred with the likes of Steve McQueen, Bobby Darin, Barbra Streisand, Madeline Kahn and Walter Matthau.  Newhart has also provided character voices for major animated films.

Despite his successful run in television and feature films, Bob has never strayed far from his first love of performing comedy stand-up, and his classic routines have stood the test of time. The Bob Newhart Show” received TV Land’s “Icon Award” and had a statue dedicated in his honor in Chicago.
