“I’ve been begging Bob for years to appear in one of my series. He always said ‘no’. But then he fell in love with The Big Bang Theory and said ‘yes’ – with two conditions. First: his character had to go through several episodes. And second: he wanted to win an Emmy. We accomplished both,” one of the creators of the series, Chuck Lorre, said of his death, as quoted by the website Variety. He also mentions that Newhart appeared in a total of six episodes.
More than twenty years ago, Bob Newhart might captivate audiences in the Christmas classic The Christmas Elf (2003). He most recently appeared in three episodes of Little Sheldon (2019-2020). In his career, which began in the late 1950s, but performed, he starred in hundreds of projects, TV series, documentaries and films.
His friend Jerry Digney said Newhart died Thursday following a brief illness.
From accounts to television
The way to so dizzying career at the same time, she was not straightforward. A native of the American city of Oak Park, he originally studied business and law. In the mid-1950s, he enlisted in the army. After returning to civilian life, he made a living as an accountant, which he did not enjoy. So he joined the production office of Fred A. Niles as a copywriter.
From there, the road led to the first contract with Warner Bros. In 1960, he released his first record full of his typical humor, which outsold even music legend Elvis Presley.
He launched a dizzying career that lasted over sixty years. In the 1970s and 1980s, his programs The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart, among others, made him famous worldwide. He also starred in the film version of the famous novel Head 22 (1970), or in the comedy True Blonde 2 (2003). From the series, we can mention Naval Investigation Service (2011) or Emergency (2003).
