His passing, after the death of Don Rickles, really marks the end of an era. The last link to Sinatra and the Rat Pack, the golden age of television. I never thought I'd be so affected by his loss(seeing im only 1/2 his age(, I guess its coz it's a reminder that time comes for us all, none of us can escape it.

Bob Newhart, a life well lived. RIP, sir.

May Bob Newhart rest in peace ❤🙏
Though as Professor Proton a.k.a. Arthur Jeffries in only a small number of episodes, he left his mark and shone brighter than so many of the other recurring characters in The Big Bang Theory 💗

the slight stammer was his biggest usp. it made the humour or the punch lines far more stronger.and potent. RIP a great actor & comedian.

I MISS BOB NEWHART!
"The entire crowd stood up & wouldn't stop cheering & I started tearing up because of all the love, support & cheering from the audience & my fans" - Bob Newhart
Well this was from an interview I heard. Best bits from this series ever

My favorite is when he says to Leonard (about Penny), "What do you two talk about?" Such typically perfect delivery from Bob. RIP.

Bob Newhart won an Emmy for an appearance on The Big Bang Theory. Ironically, he never won one for any of his shows or any other shows he appeared on.

There's no scene that involved professor Proton in TBBT that didn't make me laugh to tears. The dialog and his expression was always hilarious. 😂😂😂
RIP Bob Newhart. ❤❤❤

Bob Newharts way of stammering always brought a genuine touch to what he was in. Hollywood near never has characters that stammer, but so many rral people do. Ill miss him

[GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Rest in peace to Bob Newhart and his character, Professor Proton.
