A great interview of comedy icon Bob Newhart on the Retrocrush podcast by Rockass.net and I Can’t Believe it’s Not Comedy’s Keith Lowell Jensen. Jensen manages to do a great interview without being starstruck–something I can’t imagine being able to do with someone of that stature. I always imagine myself as doing that Chris Farley interview bit. Jensen captures some really great trivia bits (that his wife contributed the “the show was all a dream” idea, for example) and some priceless reminiscing about Newhart’s early days. Don’t miss it, comedy fans.

Thanks.
I’m glad I didn’t come across Starstruck. I was. Bob Newhart is a GIANT of stand up comedy. Of much more signifigance than most people realize, and besides that he’s funny as hell. I was dancing in my kitchen singing “I get to interview Bob Newhart” when I got the green light from his press folks.
I went and saw him last wednesday and got a couple of my old records autographed. V
Thanks again.

that Simpsons bit is SO true–he is one of those people who could literally read the phonebook and you split your sides.
