About Me

Bill Squire is a Comedian. He knew he wanted to be a comedian when at age 6 he fell out of a plastic swimming pool and broke his arm. It got a huge laugh. Since then Bill has experienced many more injuries both physical and emotional that have made him the comedian he is today.

Bob Newhart

Today I went to a taping of a show on XM Radio called "Unmasked". It is hosted by the very funny Ron Bennington of the "Ron and Fez Show" and he interviewed Bob Newhart. It was very surreal to be that close to one of the first people I can remember watching on TV. He is a comedy legend and he is still very funny. He talked about Jack Benny being his favorite comedian and being on Carson.

I had no idea how popular his comedy albums were. At one point they were number 1 and 2 on the charts overall. That is insane. Comedy will never be like that again. He came up during the best years of comedy and it was an honor to be in the same room as a legend of his status.
