Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart is familiar to the eyes of Big Bang Theory fans as Arthur Jeffries, or Professor Proton as they call him. This veteran comedian is known for his signature dry humor on his comedy shows and for his monologues which will make you laugh all the time. One of his monologues, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, earned a Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year in 1961 after the comedy album was released the previous year.

He even had his own eponymous variety show but it did not last long, but let us put that aside because it received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Humor. It also won a Peabody Award. The show he had in 1972 shares the same title as his short-lived show, but it is different as it became a situational comedy show instead, where he played a psychologist named Dr. Robert Harley. Newhart has a total net worth of $65 million, surely enough to avoid personal loans in the future, and yet the actor still has no plans to retire.
