SAD NEWS:

Bob Newhart, the former accountant who rose to comedy superstardom with his mathematically precise timing and deadpan routine, passed away Thursday, according to his publicist. He was 94.

Newhart perfectly embodied the weary everyman on the comedy albums that launched his career and on the two major sitcoms that bore his name — “The Bob Newhart Show” (CBS, 1972-1978) and “Newhart” (CBS, 1982-1990).

His comedic style was a mix of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, often leaving the wild slapstick to his scene partners. Peter Scolari, a friend and co-star on “Newhart,” recalled how Newhart’s smirk and advice during an audition set him at ease. “He kind of set me on my path,” Scolari said.

Newhart’s career milestones include two hit sitcoms, a variety show, 14 feature films, and millions of albums sold. He won three Grammy Awards, two Emmys, and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Not bad for a kid from Oak Park, Illinois.

Born on September 5, 1929, Newhart seemed destined for a traditional career, especially after graduating with a business degree from Loyola University of Chicago in 1952. After serving in the Army during the Korean War, he enrolled in law school but dropped out to pursue comedy. His collaboration with friend Ed Gallagher led to the solo act that caught the attention of Warner Brothers Records, resulting in “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart.” This album made him a sellout draw in nightclubs and theaters across the country, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

Newhart approached comedy with precision, honing his craft by watching other comedians, particularly his idol, Jack Benny. His trademark phone call routines allowed audiences to fill in the blanks with their imaginations.

Despite a short-lived variety show in 1962, Newhart found his stride with “The Bob Newhart Show” in 1972, playing Dr. Bob Hartley, an exasperated psychologist. His next major sitcom, “Newhart,” debuted in 1982, where he played Dick Loudon, a do-it-yourself book author running a Vermont inn.

Newhart’s professionalism was evident offstage, earning the respect of his colleagues. William Sanderson, who played Larry on “Newhart,” admired Newhart’s sense of humor and treatment of the crew. Scolari, who became a close friend, cherished making Newhart laugh, considering it a high achievement.

The series finale of “Newhart” featured a memorable twist, with Newhart’s character waking up next to his original on-screen wife, suggesting the entire Vermont storyline was a dream.

In the 1990s, Newhart faced challenges with “Bob” and “George & Leo,” but he found renewed popularity in the 2003 movie “Elf” and a recurring role on “The Big Bang Theory” as Professor Proton, earning him an Emmy for outstanding guest actor.

Newhart is survived by his children, Robert Jr., Timothy, Courtney, and Jennifer, and 10 grandchildren.

Up Your Geek extends its deepest sympathies to Bob Newhart’s family, friends, and admirers. His strength, talent, and spirit will always be remembered.

SAD NEWS:

Remembering Shannen Doherty: A Star Who Shined Bright

Shannen Doherty, beloved for her iconic roles in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” has passed away at 53 after a long battle with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2015, Shannen fought bravely for years.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease,” said her publicist, Leslie Sloane, in a statement to People.

Doherty gained fame in 1990 as Brenda Walsh on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” captivating audiences with her compelling portrayal. She later starred as Prue Halliwell in “Charmed,” solidifying her place in television history. Despite challenges and controversies, Shannen’s talent and determination never wavered.

Born in Memphis, TN, Doherty started her acting career young, appearing in shows like “Little House on the Prairie” and films such as “Heathers.” Throughout her life, she continued to work in television and film, leaving a lasting legacy.

Shannen was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2015 and announced she was in remission in 2017. Unfortunately, by 2019, the cancer had returned and spread. She continued to work and inspire others, discussing her battle with cancer openly on her podcast, “Let’s Be Clear With Shannen Doherty.” In June 2023, she revealed she was receiving radiation treatment for cancer that had spread to her brain.

Doherty was briefly married to George Hamilton’s son Ashley Hamilton and poker player Rick Salomon. In 2011, she married photographer Kurt Iswarienko. The couple filed for divorce in 2023.

Up Your Geek extends its deepest sympathies to Shannen Doherty’s family, friends, and admirers. Her strength, talent, and spirit will always be remembered.

🚨 BLOOD HUNT: RED BAND EDITIONS RETURN TO SHOPS WITH HIGHLY DEMANDED SECOND PRINTINGS! 🚨

Pick up all-new second printings of BLOOD HUNT #1-5 RED BAND EDITIONS at your local comic shop on August 28!

With a pulse-pounding main series and acclaimed tie-ins, BLOOD HUNT has been the hit of the summer! The new crossover event by superstars Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz has been billed as the bloodiest in Marvel Comics history, something that is exemplified in special expanded and unexpurgated RED BAND EDITIONS. Unavailable digitally and sold out at many shops, fans will get another chance to pick up the RED BAND EDITIONS of all five BLOOD HUNT issues when they return to shops on August 28.

Like other BLOOD HUNT-related second printings, they’ll feature an all-new “blood-soaked” version of Pepe Larraz’s main covers. Many retailers have requested the second printings of these first-of-its-kind RED BAND editions, and now they’ll arrive all at once for those readers who have waited patiently to experience BLOOD HUNT in all its goriest glory!

Labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged to keep those weak of heart from experiencing its intensity, the RED BAND EDITIONS contain extra pages of vampiric violence and more graphic art too explicit for the regular edition.

“The Red Band pages are really interesting to me,” Larraz shared. “They allow me to convey the dark, violent, blood tone of this particular story and flex new muscles that I don’t usually get to use in a super hero comic. And I’m not going to lie, they’re so fun!”

📅 Preorder the Second Printings of BLOOD HUNT RED BAND #1-5 at your local comic shop today!
