Bob Newhart

Made films the shows talk about.

No film of theirs is counted, so what they drew on and who drew on them comes only from the lines with them at one end.

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Shelley Berman: 1 line

  1. lineage (comedic lineage) · them, directly: Shelley Berman ⇒ Bob Newhart (the host's read). Speaker says Berman created the one-sided phone bit before Newhart, who maybe lifted a little and popularized it.
    “Shelley Berman kind of created before Newheart, Newheart maybe lifted a little bit, but Newheart at least popularized to a different degree.”

Dr. Strangelove (1964): 1 line

  1. lineage (comedic influence) · them, directly: Bob Newhart ⇒ Dr. Strangelove (the host's read). Speaker feels Newhart's one-sided phone-call format and his 1960 albums were a heavy influence on the President's call with the Soviet premier.
    “I feel like a heavy influence on the way the president's phone call with Russia play out in this movie.”
