This is an oldie but a goodie! Bob Newhart is still very funny, and knows how to weave a great, laugh out loud story. I highly recommend this recording.

"Outstanding! No other word for it. As a long time fan of Bob, I introduced this CD to my kids (13 and 10) and it's now a firm favourite on long journeys. The live recording is excellent quality, you get a wonderful sense of a live event and Bob is in TOP form. Lots of sketches, so excellent value for money. Best comedy CD I've ever heard!"
Absolutely Hilarious!

"Bob Newhart is amazing! Even 30+ years later, his comedy is still fresh and funny (and completely without any objectionable matter -- you can let your kids and your 90-year-old grandmother listen to this album). All his funniest routines are included on this CD (my particular favorite is "Introducing Tobacco"). Priceless stuff! You'll laugh yourself silly!!!"
An up to date version of the Best Of Bob!!!

"I first heard about this CD when Bob Newhart was on the Tonight Show promoting it, and I ran to my local record store to get it. What makes this album a little different than his early classic ones, is the editing, because they left in all the timing pauses that are crucial to his unique delivery. He himself even said that his old albums were edited to speed up the routines, making him sound like he was talking much faster than he was actually able to. Just an interesting bit of trivia I thought I'd share with all of you! Buy this CD! You won't regret it, it is something that all ages can enjoy and there's nothing dirty on it that would offend anyone! (I believe this is also available on video, but it might have to be special ordered.) But like many other reviewers have mentioned, it is great for in the car, as is all his materials on CD! And Mr. Newhart, if you happen to read this, thanks for buttoning down your mind with us!"
Pure clean laughter

"I first heard this when being trained to be a tour bus driver in alaska. we were told we could use something like this for the longer drives when there wasnt a glacier or grizzly bear or moose to point out, or when we ourselves ran out of our corny jokes. and boy did i crack up listening to this. easily i would replace my corny jokes with this romp. and what's great is that there is a piece in here about bus drivers! hehe!my favorites have to be the ones about the bus driver, the discovery of baseball, and the discovery of tobacco. this is just simply pure clean fun and worthy of everbody's ears!"
