Bob Newhart, 91, Born in 1929 – Young Sheldon
At 91, you’d think comedian Bob Newhart’s particular brand of wit and deadpan humor won’t be appreciated by the younger audiences of today. That’s not the case. He made people laugh as the fictional educational TV star in the sitcoms Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory.
His current success is certainly a beacon of hope for performers in the senior age range. Newhart has been around since the ‘50s and became a small screen mainstay after playing mental health practitioner Bob Hartley in his eponymous TV show in the ‘70s.
