=v= I'm trying to figure out why this was cross-posted to
alt.tv.futurama.  Will Bob be acting with his head in a jar?

> oh dear god no

=v= Well, you see, Ellen Degeneres was doing his act (silently
making wounded faces while surrounded by wackiness), but then
she switched to the talk show biz.  So I guess Bob's felt a
need to step back in.

=v= But who is this "Herb?"  Consider these show titles:

	The Bob Newhart Show
	Newhart
	Bob

Naturally I figured his next show would be called something
like "New Bob."  Or maybe just "B."

=v= I also figure that someday Mel Gibson will make a biopic
about this famed historical figure -- getting the history all
wrong, as usual -- and call it "Bobheart."
