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.
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 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. Except this time, the “dream” was hosting SNL.
SNL also posted the “Hi Bob” drinking game sketch with Chris Farley and Chris Elliott, and the “Postal Worker Evaluation” sketch.
