There’s probably no other cur- Bob Newhart rent TV personality more fa- miliar and dependable than Newhart, who has been on the tube almost continuously for 20 years, with “The Bob New- hart Show” (1972-78), “New- hart” (1982-89) and now “Bob” (airing Friday nights on CTV and CBS). Counting his televi- sion variety-show appear- ances from the late '50s and early 60s, Newhart has been a presence on TV for about three decades. honesty, integrity and reliabil- ity, with a bit of rock-solid blandness thrown in. Now 63, Newhart continues to be excited by his craft. Rather than retire and play golf, the comedic actor is quite happy with the grind of doing yet another weekly TV series. “TI just love the medium,” says Newhart, who plays a comic-book artist in his new series. “I love the process. If anything, it keeps you young. It’s going somewhere every day and doing something, tak- ing a script on all week and do- ing it in front of a live audi- ence. I thrive on that.” On the Sullivan retrospec- tive, Newhart uses his inimita- ble, wry style to introduce clips of past holiday specials from the classic TV series. That deadpan, slightly bored- with-it-all persona has been a Newhart trademark all these years, and viewers love it. But what is the real New- hart like? Are any of his three characters close to the real Bob? “They represent about 85 percent of what you see,” New- hart says. “The other 15 per- cent is an extremely morbid, sick sense of humor that I’ve been able to keep from the American public.” And the secret of his success on TV? “The formula is to find the best writing talent avail- able and surround yourself with the very best cast, and then take all the bows yourself for the success of the show.” OUTDOORS ai fish for rainbow trout near Salt Lake City.
