Bob Newhart was the best deadpan comic to ever do it. We lost an absolute legend today. In honor of the man whose humor and dry wit spans generations, please keep his legacy alive by watching one of the funniest sketches in comedy history. pic.twitter.com/g0qlr5cHx7

A day I was dreading. Bob Newhart was so much more than a comedian.

His quick wit, deadpan and stammering style made him unique to any of his contemporaries.

Bob Newhart taught countless generations of comedians that you could be funny, smart, uncompromising, and still win on your own terms. This is an immeasurable loss.

RIP the incredible Bob Newhart, a true king among men and one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know since he guest starred on Big Bang Theory. This was the day he taped the Star Wars episode, truly a fun day. pic.twitter.com/cKgLCACv9b
