The picture above is of Bob Newhart. Because of his success in situation comedies, we forget that this man was once one of the all-time great stand-up comedians. As a refresher, let's all purchase Something Like This…, a 2-CD collection from Rhino Records which includes darn near every great Newhart monologue that ever made it onto records including my favorite — the one about Sir Walter Raleigh trying to explain to his employers what he has found in The New World. And while you're at it, Rhino has just released a DVD of The Rutles: All You Need is Cash, complete with commentary by Eric Idle, alternate scenes, photos, the works. Good stuff.
