Episode 295 – Griffin Newman on Bob Newhart – The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back

Griffin Newman is Arthur on The Tick (which returns to Amazon Prime April 5!) and co-hosts Blank Check, my favorite movie podcast.  He picked Bob Newhart and we get into specifics of Bob’s influence on Griffin’s stand-up and his acting.  This was a blast.

Episode 163 – Jeff Abraham on Bob Newhart Rarities

AbrahamIISDIn a first for our podcast, we’re about to premiere a Bob Newhart track that is 50 years old and you probably only heard if you were there for the recording.  From a one-of-a-kind acetate in the Abraham Comedy Archive, the “Paul Revere” sketch by Bob Newhart does not appear on any Newhart albums, and a search for this sketch yields nothing online.  This week, Jeff Abraham discusses Bob Newhart rarities and “b-sides,” and premieres this very track at the end of the episode.

Brian Kiley is a stand-up, writer for Conan, and author of the book The Astounding Misadventures of Rory Collins.  Somehow, we haven’t covered this album since our first three episodes, so it was definitely time for a revisit.  We sat down and talked about the changing world of stand-up, as well as Bob’s influence on Brian’s work.

Episode 148 – Rob Newhart

It’s not often you get to talk to someone about playing their own father in a movie.  In 1992, that’s exactly what Rob did, for a cameo in “Heart and Souls.”  We discuss how that came about this week, as big fans of his dad, but we also discuss his own introduction to comedy by the likes of Richard Pryor and George Carlin, the former passed down from his father.  The album we’re holding isn’t discussed in this episode, but we are holding it for a reason – it has the first recorded mention of Rob’s name, in track one of side 2, in which Bob talks about becoming a father.

Episode 123 – Jay Sandrich

Sandrich

He directed the first and final episodes (and much in between) of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Cosby Show.  His show business career started on I Love Lucy.  He directed the pilots for The Bob Newhart Show and Golden Girls, to name only two.  This week, we talk about his storied career and what makes a good director.  Where’s the vinyl?  Well, he directed the first million-album-selling comedian in the first episode of one of the greatest sitcoms ever.  So, there it is.
