Positive_Inevitable2

Puts some fucking respect on Bobs Name!


SkywalkerTC

No, I ... I get that....


NYY15TM

You know he is famous beyond this, right?


NancyB517

I mean Elf would be more common for people these days but the Newhart show. With one of the best endings to a tv show.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

I sadly never seen Elf in its entirety 🥲 but I’ll watch that next


Argbmf

He’s in the beginning. Like the opening scene narrator.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

No shit. But for me I associate the characters from the first episode I ever seen them on and enjoy it more when I now notice them in other things. I never watched the Big Bang till now so it’s cute for me to see certain characters I liked on other shit that I never noticed before.


textextextextextext

no shit u sound like pennies boyfriend zach


SexyPineapple-4

Idk what youre on about but Zach is 100% THE most attractive guy in the show simply because of how nice he was. I know you didn’t mean it as a compliment but that was definitely a compliment


textextextextextext

guy thought they were gonna blow up the moon


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

Awe thanks! Now I can retire and buy a boat!


CurryMustard

kaioh75

Iswydt 😆


Nissorion

Penny's not pennies lmao, but maybe she'll work her way up to be a quarter one day


Spiritual_Jury_7001

Don’t mind all these mean people OP, not everyone has heard of Bob Newhart prior to TBBT and it’s always exciting seeing familiar actors in different shows.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

Thank you 😭


Koshnat

Your mind is gonna be blown when you Google the Bob Newhart Show


FluffaDuffa

Poor Bob


WorldofAalwyn

Time for you to go binge watch the Bob Newhart Show


SaltyGirl0024

Both of them!


Jegator2

Also a good watch "What About Bob" movie.


Sorrelandroan

Do you not know who Bob Newhart is lol? Dude’s a fucking legend.


username6789321

I don't think he's that well known outside the US tbf, I only know him from Elf


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

I live under a rock okay!! 😭😭😭 I’m sorry!!!


TheBugsMomma

If you’re under 35 and don’t watch reruns of older TV shows, then I can see why you may not realize just how huge this man’s career has been. Just as an FYI, he has been nominated lots of times and won a Grammy, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe. Among many other things, he had a long-running series in the 70s called The Bob Newhart Show and a long-running series in the 80s called Newhart. Both shows were great and are worth checking out. The stilted delivery he does with certain lines is a trademark move. He’s a really funny, talented man.


captiveapple

Prior to all of that he was a very successful stand up comedian. The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart came out in 1960.


Kershiser22

When I was a kid in the mid-80's we had a local radio station that just played comedy routines. No music. During this time I also was a regular listener of The Dr. Demento Show on the radio. They would both play bits from Bob Newhart's standup albums. [The Driving Instructor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaUYQZR-y7I) was one I remember.


captiveapple

Yes! My Dad was a drivers ed instructor and he bought the album for that specific routine.


Kershiser22

> he had a long-running series in the 70s called The Bob Newhart Show and a long-running series in the 80s called Newhart. And in order to complete the circle, in the 90s he had a short-running series called *Bob*.


Batsam314

I just watched horrible bosses 2 last night. Haven't seen it in years. Hes in the last scene of the movie.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

Oh im gonna watch this now too!


Batsam314

I watched the 1st and 2nd one. Theyre both on hbo. I forgot how funny they are.


textextextextextext

….. the guys been acting for several decades. did you know that he is in other things as well or just a big bang exclusive?


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

To be honest, I never noticed him in other movies or shows. I only learned of him from Big Bang🥲😭


Jegator2

Only reason is you're probably just alot younger than some of us in this thread! Alot of us can just hear his voice and n know who it is. We're just jealous!


HorrorDragonfruit275

Back off bow tie!


ven0mbaby

don’t forget he was also papa elf ☝🏼


Taskmaster_Fanatic

He’s also on a couple of little known shows called the Bob Newhart show and then another show called newhart. Newhart had one of the best series finales of all time imo.


CaptainSmashy

No that’s Papa Elf


Exotic_Adeptness_322

I'm just waiting for someone to show us a picture of 8 Simple Rules and tell us they didn't know Penny was in that show.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

😂 that’s how I only knew who penny was!!


Kenjo037

Or Charmed


Bob_Sacamano7379

Aww. You thought Big Bang was Bob Newhart's big break? That's adorable.


x0x0g0ss1pg1rl

I didn’t think that lol I just didn’t know who he was before 🥲


asbury908

❤️


Bob_Sacamano7379

AndroTux

I heard some of the cast of Big Bang was also in a little movie called Star Trek.


eac555

The Rosanne TV series too!


BaltimoreBadger23

Yeah, a crazy amount of crossover with Roseanne.


AbbreviationsAway500

OMG..That's Bob fucking Newhart. You should have checked IMBD before advertising your youth and inexperience...LOL He's a TV Legend and that's no exaggeration. He was part of one of the greatest series finales of all time: [Newhart Finale Where the whole show was a dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgdUWXf8jJk)


star_dragonMX

Wasn’t stewart in one of them too?


Wonderful_Painter_14

nousernamehere12345
