 — 

Bob Newhart, whose stammering, deadpan unflappability carried him to stardom as a standup comedian and later in television and movies, has died, according to a statement from his longtime publicist Jerry Digney. He was 94.

Digney said Newhart died in Los Angeles on Thursday morning after a series of short illnesses. He called the star’s passing an “end of an era in comedy.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.

 

He was very likeable.

 One of my favorite drinking games was drinking a beer every time they said “Bob” on the Bob Newhart show. If you went to the potty, you lose.
