He was known for his deadpan and stammering delivery style. Beginning as a stand-up comedian, he transitioned his career to acting in television. He received numerous accolades, including three Grammy\u00ae Awards, an Emmy Award\u00ae, and a Golden Globe Award. He received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>Bob came to prominence in 1960 when his record album of comedic monologues, <em>The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart<\/em>, became a bestseller and reached number one on the Billboard pop album chart; it remains the 20th-best-selling comedy album in history. The follow-up album, <em>The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back!<\/em> was also a success, and the two albums held the Billboard number one and number two spots simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Bob starred as Chicago psychologist Robert Hartley on the CBS television series THE BOB NEWHART SHOW from 1972 to 1978, and then as Vermont innkeeper Dick Loudon on NEWHART from 1982 to 1990, also on the Network. He had two other sitcoms on CBS in the 1990s, BOB and GEORGE AND LEO. Bob acted in feature films including <em>&#8220;Catch-22&#8221;<\/em> (1970), <em>&#8220;Cold Turkey&#8221;<\/em> (1971), <em>&#8220;In and Out&#8221;<\/em> (1997), and <em>&#8220;Elf&#8221;<\/em> (2003).
