A former accountant, he became an overnight sensation with the release of a 1960 live comedy album, then starred in a pair of fabled CBS sitcoms.

 

Quote

In 1972, MTM Enterprises cast the modest comic as clinical psychologist Bob Hartley, who practiced in the real-life Newhart’s
Newhart’s pauses and stammering were among his trademarks, and his wry observations were a result of his observant nature.

 

“I tend to find humor in the macabre. I would say 85 percent of me is what you see on the show. And the other 15 percent is a very sick man with a very deranged mind,” he said during a 1990 interview with Los Angeles magazine.

 

He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame in 1992.
