Story. One of the better Newhart patients, Mr. Carlin always had that sarcastic edge.
Peterson’s a twerp!
I’m going to get naked and stand on a rock
Riley was the voice of Stu Pickles in Rugrats.
I always enjoyed his roles. Very funny guy.
Riley was 80. Bob Newhart is currently 86.
RIP
“If I could proceed normally, I wouldn’t be here”.
He was really good for a long time. Got a lot of guest appearances on a lot of shows over the years. Fun to pick him out. IMDb page.
E.g., he was on Kramer’s Reality Tour bus on Seinfeld.
A couple night ago he was on the episode of Mary Tyler Moore that we watched. One of two appearances on the show. Both before The Bob Newhart Show.
Only 80 and apparently not acting lately.
Here’s a great clip of his appearance on Newhart in 1988. He’s basically playing Mr. Carlin again and he does it perfectly. Also nice how the studio audience recognizes him immediately.
Interestingly, although they wouldn’t do Rugrats for another couple of years, that’s Melanie Chartoff who voiced his wife on Rugrats (Tommy’s mom).
