I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This!

and Other Things That Strike Me as Funny

De: Bob Newhart

Narrado por: Bob Newhart

That stammer. Those basset-hound eyes. That bone-dry wit. There has never been another comedian like Bob Newhart. In this, his first audiobook ever, Newhart gives us his brilliant and bemused twist on a multitude of topics, including flying, the trials of a family holiday in a Winnebago, and more serious subjects, such as golf. And, of course, there are side-splittingly funny stories from his life and career. Who else has a drinking game named after him? ("Hi, Bob!")

This isn't a memoir like most memoirs. It's an audiobook only Bob Newhart could have conceived, with his unique worldview and irrepressibly wry humor. Oh, and there's a fair bit of plain silliness, too.

"Bob Newhart is a great comedian and a great American." (David Hyde Pierce)

Absolutely worth Listening Too

I love Bob Newhart and this was an excellent book!
I enjoyed it so much more because he narrated it himself and no one else can talk like Bob Newhart.
Definately worth listening too again and again.

A truly wonderful and beautiful being.

Bob (George) deserves the highest honor and respect that we as people so lucky to have shared parts of our time on Earth together can give him. If only everyone in the world had the love respect and humility in their hearts that this man has...

I was genuinely moved to tears by the last chapter. It put a little more hope in my soul than was there before... and I am unreasonably optimistic. Thank you Mr. Newhart. Thank you.

Everything I hoped it would be!

If you love Bob - this is a must listen. Stories told about his family, friends and career that only he could tell. Feels like listening to an old friend reminiscing about wonderful times - and makes you wish you’d been there.

Disappointed.

I grew up enjoying Bob Newhart's tv shows and was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, it lacked the punch I was expecting. Many of the chapters just ended without a real conclusion to the story he had been telling. I'm not sorry that I read the book.I was just expecting more.

Awesome and Insightful

Great insight into Bob Newhart and stand up comedy. Highly recommended for a relaxing and chuckling - good time.

Shouldn’t Even Be Doing This REVIEW

This was exceptional! Very funny and also heartwarming. It was well worth listening too and I will for sure listen to it again……more than once!!!

Love, love, love

Didn't realize a lot about Bob Newhart's past. Good read and he's a great narrator of course.

“I Need To Do This”....

If you don’t know or have never heard of Bob Newhart, listen to this book. Of all the comedic brilliance of his era, I have always believed Bob Newhart stood out from all the rest. His “obligation to make people laugh” is keenly felt in every second of this book.

one of the best ever

I’ve heard so many of Bob’s stories, but they NEVER get old, and I will continue to listen to them over and over again. I have always enjoyed his work, so it’s only natural that I be drawn to the stories behind the work! This was a great book, & it was thoroughly enjoyed.

lol funny

The is a great book and Bob Newhart's narration is right on.
