‘Saturday Night Live’ Remembers Bob Newhart With Video Tributes

In honor of the late Bob Newhart, NBC’s Saturday Night Live has shared a look back at his 1995 SNL opening monologue and two memorable sketches.

Chuck Lorre Remembers Bob Newhart: "I Even Got To Call Him A Friend. How Lucky Am I?"

Newhart hosted Season 5, Episode 18 (May 10, 1980 – with musical guest The Amazing Rhythm Aces/Bruce Cockburn) and Season 20, Episode 12 (February 11, 1995 – with musical guest Des’ree).

The 1980 show included the famous/infamous “Weekend Update” segment “A Limo For A Lame-O,” which saw Al Franken taking on NBC president Fred Silverman and his executive lifestyle while the network suffered from basement ratings and a dismal financial outlook – a segment that Silverman was not too happy about.

The ending to the 1995 show saw Newhart and guest star Suzanne Pleshette recreating their series finale ending to Newhart , which saw the actor-comedian waking up next to Pleshette and realizing it was all a dream – in this case, the “dream” was hosting SNL .

To honor Newhart, the long-running late-night sketch comedy/music series released a look at his 1995 monologue.
