Comedian Bob Newhart dies at 94

Bob Newhart, the deadpan accountant-turned-comedian who became one of the most popular TV stars of his time after striking gold with a classic comedy album, has died at 94. Jerry Digney, Newhart's publicist, said the actor died on July 18, 2024 (local time) in Los Angeles after a series of short illnesses. The star of two hit television shows of the 1970s and 1980s that bore his name, launched his career as a standup comic in the late 1950s. He gained nationwide fame when his routine was captured on vinyl in 1960 as 'The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart,' which went on to win a Grammy Award as album of the year.
