This was when comedy was classic -- no swearing and just pure intelligence. Mr. Newhart was an incredible gift to us as was Mr. Carson. I am grateful that we have Youtube so I can watch the old shows as Hollywood is not putting out much good anymore.
Two masters of the art of comedy just having a natural conversation. I could listen to this type of exchange for hours. Notice how neither one get down in the gutter with sexual innuendo or foul language? They have true talent. Bob Newhart is one of the best comedians in history. His delivery is unparalleled. Truly the best of the best.
Excellent examples as to how subtle intelligence and comradeship can be expressed affectionately, even when tearing the other apart. The result? Laughter, not disdain.
Watching great conversation, even from 37 years ago is "gold", I ponder why so many of us spend so much time here at you tube,,,,,,, is it because no one talks anymore, we just chat, and text on computers.
