He was so happy he was crying. I've always loved Bob Newhart.

[jeffnaslund]

Before he moved to Los Angeles, he literally lived next-door to my family in Chicago. I remember his mom. Wonderful man. What you see is what you get

[carriebizz]

I can't believe he'd never won one before. Hes such an amazing actor and so humble. God bless

[derekchin]

Rest in Peace, Bob Newhart. You were so well loved and respected. Thank you for bringing so much laughter and joy to our world. Boy, we could use more of you, now.

[vincentbarney]

Seriously I can't believe that this is first and only Emmy this great man should have a shelf full of Emmys from his career!

[GhstRider]

RIP, Bob Newhart. Thank you for years of helping us forget about our troubles.

[joedoe]

the end of the "Newhart" series was the best finally ever. waking up next to his wife from the first series and saying "I had the weirdest dream" was priceless and classic.

[philipberthiaume]

One of the most talented comedians to ever be. His material from the 50's on up is worth a listen...

[krislackey]

“Haven’t you stolen enough from me?? Back off bow-tie!!” Professor Proton AKA Bob Newhart to Bill Nye. Delivered with such power at an incredible age. Really brought a tear to my eye when I found out he got an Emmy.

[mashort]

He was SO good on that show. There was no recurring or guest character on that show that did more with their limited screen time than Bob. I only wish they'd found even more ways to use him because he had me laughing until my sides ached every time. Absolute legend.

[BHAKTIBROPHY]

Makes me so happy I grew up listening to Bob and watching The Bob Newhart Show with my parents. Im not sure the younger generations understand how groundbreaking his conversational comedy style was. Pure genius!
