What's Bob Newhart's philosophy of life? "All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'" The comedian who made the one-sided telephone conversation into a comedic art form turns 80 today. His deadpan delivery was popular enough to win him his own TV shows, The Bob Newhart Show (1972-78) and Newhart (1982-90).
