Bob Newhart

I had forgotten how funny Bob Newhart is! So glad I picked this as one of my Audible Originals. I had a great time listening to Bob and a slew of other famous comedians like Sarah Silverman, Will Farrell, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien, and others. I felt like I was sitting in the room with them all and laughed out loud several times. I'll certainly listen to this again.

An under-appreciated gem of a comic who had the first platinum comedy album, two hugely successful sit-coms, and now a book that reaffirms his 'aw shucks' approach to success. Sometimes nice guys finish first - it's just that they make less noise about it, so no one notices.

I had a hard time determining who was speaking during this program. Bob Newhart was obvious and I recognized Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman, but couldn't really distinguish everyone else. There were some funny moments, but it wasn't great overall. I would have liked to hear more bits and less conversation. Not bad, just not great.

Did you know Bob Newhart has only been married once? And that they are still married today? Well, when I found out, I decided to read his bio. Really. It's that simple.

Disclaimer: there were about 5 jokes I didn't like and there are no tips on how to keep a marriage going for 40 years. But it was amusing.
