MAKING MEMORIES WITH BOB NEWHART

Two stars recall their favorite moment working with the comedy icon. Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory: “The night we taped the first scene he ever did with us, he appeared in the hallway and the show stopped—just completely stopped—from the standing ovation the live audience gave him. He cried. I think we all cried.”

David Foley from Hot in Cleveland: “My favorite memory is that first moment where Bob’s character—he played my dad—shows up. There’s a knock at the door. I open the door, and it’s Bob outside the door. It was one of those things where he immediately launched into a Bob Newhart pause. And I was just standing there in front of the audience going, Oh, my God, I can’t believe I’m in the middle of a Bob Newhart pause.”
