Bob Newhart Begs Johnny Not To Leave | Carson Tonight Show

Two giants of comedy. It was worth staying up late when Carson did the Tonight Show.

Two giants of comedy and epitomes of class, now both no longer with us. RIP to both of them.

I was a young boy when i started watching Johnny. Im 64 and still can't get enough of him . Class and a comedic genius. He always tried to make his guest look good. He wouldn't believe this world now

RIP Bob. Your deadpan straight face in absurd situations was brillantly perfect. You'd be the guy in the strange or crazy sitution thinking what the audience was thinking which was really funny. Tell Johnny hi for us.

These two men lit up the world!! God Rest the Merry Gentlemen.

RIP Bob I miss these days of such talent.

On this day after Bob Newhart's death, icame to this video to enjoy seeing him again. This is the best episode of the Tonight Show, which i didn't always like. Bob Newhart raised the level of comedy everywhere he went. May he rest in Peace.

I miss both these men. I miss those days.

Bob, Johnny and Don Rickles were all very close friends. Glad that Bob is still with us.

I learned tonight that Bob’s wife, Ginnie, who he mentioned in this video passed away in 2023. He married her in 1963 and she was always smiling in the numerous photos of her I saw online. I’ve always been a fan of Bob’s work from his stand up acts and records through to his work as Professor Proton. He’s clearly a wonderful person and I’m happy for him that he had a wife he loved for over 60 years. That’s rare these days, unfortunately. RIP, Ginnie!

I feel so lucky that I was able to appreciate and watch Bob Newhart all throughout my youth! Even as a young teenager in the 70's, I knew talent when I saw it and while others were out at parties, I would stay home so I could watch the Bob Newhart show. I would even listen to his early 33's (albums) that my dad had and would laugh hysterically with my mom in the kitchen. He was a pro through and through and I would have loved to have been a part of his inner circle, hanging out with the Rickles family and even Carson. True legend!

The coughing the pauses and mumbling...perfect timing!

Bob, in his ninties, is still with us. He and Johnny had such love & respect for one another. Mr. Carson, you are missed. Irreplaceable.👍👍

Bob spoke for everybody that night . I never wanted Johnny to leave . I wish I had a digital video recorder way back when .

Comedy is about perfect timing. And Newhart was💯%. He used pauses and could always read the room. Bob Newhart was the greatest.

God, I've always loved Bob Newhart since I was a kid. Love Bob as much as Johnny 😂 Two all-time class-act comics!

RIP Bob Newhart

"Dynamic Duo" who proved timeless comedy!

These were the days.God bless them both.

When late night TV had class and pizzazz and its host was king. Oh, brothers, I sorely miss those days. On a positive note at least we have this great channel, thank you. 🙏🏼 An old man subscriber - Edit: Ah, forgot to Cheers 🍻 for Bob, love him, a true survivor and a fine loving man.
