Bob Newhart – Born in 1929, The Big Bang Theory
Bob Newhart is not the kind of comedian to burst into laughter as he delivers his lines. No, he’s the kind to have on an expressionless face even as he drives the audience to tears as they roll over laughing. His deadpan humor and unique delivery made him one of the best-known comics of his time.
Newhart’s fame was cemented with the release of his album of monologues, “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart.” The success of that bestseller was mirrored by his follow-up album “The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back!” Anyway, fans of “The Big Bang Theory” should have no trouble recognizing him.
