 And Bob Newhart has died at the age of 94. His publicist says he passed away in Los Angeles after a series of short illnesses. His TV series, The Bob Newhart Show, was a hit in the 1970s, and he had another ratings winner with Newhart in the 1980s. He started doing stand-up in the 1960s and slowly gained an audience with his deadpan and sometimes stammering delivery. His live stand-up albums were top sellers. He later became a fixture on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
