Bob Newhart, whose stammering, deadpan unflappability carried him to stardom as a standup comedian and later in television and movies, has died. He was 94.
I’m sad he’s gone, but I can’t be too sad because he lived a good, long, happy and very successful life, with a loving marriage, great friends, and terrific kids.
There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

May we all be so lucky to have a life like his.
