A brilliant standup & comedic actor, he was truly one of a kind.
His legacy will live on.
He was as kind and nice as he was funny.

Today, he was reunited with his wife Ginnie.
My thoughts are with his children and grandchildren, and all those whose days were brightened by his work.
I mean, how could I not?
One day, he and I ended up sitting next to each other during a break in production.
In the industry, we call it taking a five or a quick ten or something like that.
Just a little break for everyone to catch their breaths.
A couple of the writers were there, I think, and maybe one or two other actors.
And we all sat there, while Bob Newhart told stories about his life and career.
He didnt need to be kind.
He didnt need to tell us these stories.
He didnt owe us any of his time.
And yet he did, and he loved it.
Because he chose to do all those things, I have a gift that Bob Newhart gave me.
I havent opened it in a while, but I took it out today, and I was grateful.
Rest well, Bob.
Second most important man in my life.
Glad they’re together but I feel so alone now.#RIPBOB.
How I will miss being teased.
I love you.pic.twitter.com/edXgWzSfgX

And we lose another comedy legend.
A brilliant standup & comedic actor, he was truly one of a kind.
I started off as your fan, then I became your writer, then I became your friend.
But all the time I remained your fan.

Noah Wyle:Heroes frequently disappoint when you meet them.
I join the multitudes in mourning his passing.
Heaven just got a whole lot funnier.
George Schlatter,producer:Bob Newhart was a good friend and he was an original.
I did one of his first guest shots before anyone had figured out that he was also an intellectual.
His overview on society and politics was fresh and perceptive and almost every sentence was quotable.
We never had anybody like Bob Newhart before or since.
But all the time I remained your fan.
Al Franken:Bob Newhart was a giant, a genius, and a great guy.
Ill always remember when he hosted SNL and did a stellar show.
He was, as you might expect, a joy to work with.
May his memory be a blessing.
Bob Newhart was the kindest most hilarious man.
He asked me to make a documentary about his friendship with Don Rickles.
I was so lucky to get to spend that time with my hero.
His brilliant comedy and gentle spirit made everyone he encountered so happy.
