He recently filmed an appearance for ‘NCIS’ and was nominated for an Emmy in 2009 for his work in the TBS movie ‘The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice.’ It was a role he reprised from the original TV movie years earlier. He was also nominated for an Emmy for a very dramatic role on ‘ER’ earlier in the decade.

In 2006, Newhart came out with an amusing memoir, ‘I Shouldn’t Even Be Doing This,’ which detailed how he rose from the ranks from an accountant to a comedy star. He also detailed his early comedy albums, his variety series, his two classic sitcoms – ‘The Bob Newhart Show’ and ‘Newhart’ – and other milestones. He included reflections on his co-stars, including his two most famous TV wives, who sadly died too young – Mary Frann died suddenly in 1998 at age 55, while Suzanne Pleshette died in 2008 at age 70.

Thank you for posting the link to that article - I enjoyed reading all of it. Sadly, I wasn't aware of Mary Tyler Moore's problems with partial blindness.

Great article. It's great the the TV icons I grew up with are still active and doing well!

Awesome. Love Bob and glad that he is still busy working. :cool: :D

Bob was good in that NCIS episode. He is known primarily for comedy, but can do good drama as well.
