Bob Newhart was a true original. These monologues where he is the 'straight man' and the clown is the unheard person (usually, but not always, on the other end of a phone) are his unique invention. And they are brilliant. 'Genius' is not a word to throw around, but I don't think it would be out of place talking about Bob Newhart.

My father was a driving instructor, and brought "The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart" home because of the "Driving Instructor" routine. I was 11 years old at the time. I loved that album then, and 60+ years later I still love it, and all of Bob Newhart's routines. Others have said 'genius'. It is a big word, but I agree with them, Bob Newhart is a comedic genius.

Newhart's album The Button Down Mind Of Bob Newhart was the first comedy album to go to #1 on the pop charts. Also, it won best album at the 1961 Grammy Awards. And, it was the first and only time a comedian won best new artist. Bob put comedy on the map in the recording industry. Credit given where credit is due.
