Non-Fiction Memoir
That stammer. Those basset-hound eyes. That bone-dry wit.
There has never been another comedian like Bob Newhart. His
comedy albums, movies, and two hit television series have
made him a national treasure and placed him firmly in the
pantheon of comedy legends. Who else has a drinking game
named after him? And now, at last, Newhart puts his
brilliant and hysterical world view on paper. Never a
punch-line comic, always more of a storyteller, he tells
anecdotes from throughout his life and career, including his
beginnings as an accountant and the groundbreaking success
of his comedy albums and The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart,
which gave him fifteen years on primetime television. And he
also gives his wry, comedic twist to a multitude of topics,
including golf, drinking, and family holidays. Today,
Newhart appears on Desperate Housewives, in hit movies such
as Elf, and in theaters around the country. Reruns of his
shows air constantly on Nick at Nite -- have recently been
released with great success for the first time ever on DVD.
With this book, Bob Newhart gives his millions of fans a
first ever opportunity to sample his unique brand of humor
-- including excerpts from some of his classic routines --
on the printed page.
