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)

man wish it was longer

true class and such great humor . classic pieces and great story what a legend.

Great Listen

This has been a very enjoyable listen! On my walks i am laughing out loud which elicits strange looks from passers by.

Great book!

Love Bib and this is a great book. Stories about his early days, some experiences on movie sets and inside info on his TV shows. could be longer and more in depth, but it's still great.

Comic Genius

Bob Newhart is the funniest person alive, and this book proves it. A cozy, laugh-out-loud book full of nostalgia and hilarious tidbits from Bob’s life. A must read.

Wonderfully Bob!

If you like Bob Newhart’s shows and stand up comedy, you will definitely like this. Entertaining and informative.

Style of delivery and Bob’s unforgettable voice

I would recommend this to us of a certain age who have been fans since the sixties and those who are curious and need a good, long , laugh.

Left me wanting more

Just the right length- a glimpse into Newhart’s comedy genius - Laughed out loud a few times!

Great read

Newhart's comedy sprinkled in here and there with a light biography of Newhart's experiences make this a great read. This is really more of Bob Newhart telling "behind the scenes" stories of events in his life with his dry wit than a bio. Thoroughly enjoyed this, only wish it was longer.

A Newhart

Bob Newhart manages to cover his entire history, from entering show business, to now, all the while maintaining his low-key, addictive personal mannerisms. Always in character, he shares bumping elbows with decades of other top performers from New York, thru Vegas, and L.A.

Newhart fans will not be disappointed.

Very Enjoyable

Short but enjoyable. I somewhat wish he would write another one or at least narrate some more books.
