What’s Bob Newhart Doing Now?

Bob Newhart now has a recurring role on “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS, for which he won his first-ever Emmy Award, and he is a regular headliner at concert venues around the country.

On December 19, 2014, Newhart made a surprise appearance on the final episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, where he was revealed to be the person inside Secretariat, Ferguson’s on-set pantomime horse.

The show then ended with a scene parodying the Newhart series finale, with Ferguson and Drew Carey reprising their roles from The Drew Carey Show. In June 2015, Newhart appeared in another series finale, that of Hot in Cleveland, playing the father-in-law of Joy Scroggs (Jane Leeves).

It marked a reunion with Betty White, who was a cast member during the second season of Bob 23 years earlier. The finale ends with their characters getting married.
