message: A recent radio programme on BBC7 said that Bob Newhart got the idea for the "The Driving Instructor" from a very similar earlier item about a driving instructor on the Al Read Show.  A recording of that programme was played and there certainly were a lot of similarities.  I wonder if there is any confirmation of this?  --jmb 13:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I only saw pictures of him from The Emmys. I don't get it??? Could somebody maybe edit in what he did? I'm so confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.232.45 (talk) 04:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Nothing here about Mr. Newhart's smoking habit.  I think seeing a special on PBS, he used to smoke about a pack a day, but stopped in the mid 80s/early 90s after being diagnosed with high red blood sell count anemia, or something.  Any info on this? -65.122.209.157 05:42, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I haven't seen any pictures of Bob Newhart other than what is available on the article page. Does he resemble Henry Fonda in any way? Bob Newhart played the role of Major Major Major Major in the movie Catch-22, and one of the main points of the character is that he is supposed to resemble Henry Fonda.

replies: text: If the resemblance in any way influenced his getting the role, that would be interesting and can be mentioned in the article. Jay (talk) 02:50, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

message: What religion were his parents?  Bob?  Where did he go to high school, and college?  What did he study?  Did he have siblings?  Etc.
:He's Catholic, which is something he's mentioned on occasion but rarely put in his act. I think one of his sisters or brothers is in a religious order.--T. Anthony (talk) 06:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I am curious, should his quotations be moved to Wikiquote, since Wikipedia discourages a listing of quotes? I understand that some reasonably well-written Wikipedia articles have one or two quotes, but oftentimes those are there to give greater context that a brief summary won't always provide. Unfortunately, in this article, the quotes are stacked one above the other--which makes the quotes more suitable for Wikiquote IMHO. Thanks. 67.182.237.57 (talk) 08:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Dudes, there have to be better quotes than those.  I think you should keep it to JOKES ONLY.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.36.165 (talk) 20:57, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

message: People, people: do NOT insert trivial 'citation needed' tags for uncontroversial statements. If, and ONLY if, you have good reason to believe that something is NOT the case do you insert the tag. Among other foolishness this article had a tag for Newhart 'famously' joking something-or-other: if it really bothers you, delete 'famously', but do not litter.

message: The Selected filmography section includes only some films and shows in which he's appeared, as the name implies, and there doesn't seem to be a separate, complete filmog article. Is there a reason we should not add the rest of his appearances to this table (especially those that are already mentioned and cited in prose)? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 00:01, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

message: "His mother was of Irish descent and his father was of Irish ancestry."
Either explain the difference between ancestry and descent or, if there is none, rewrite as "Both his parents were of Irish [and pick ONE of those two words as the last one here]/S. Valkemirer (talk) 02:31, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
