After years of working putting his nose to the grindstone, Fuller’s big breakthrough came in popular 1960s series such as Laramie and Wagon Trail.

Bob Newhart – 90-Years-Old, $65 Million Net worth

America’s favorite comedian Bob Newhart rose to fame thanks to his dead-pan delivery comedy routines.

In fact, Newhart’s album did so well that it earned the number one spot on both Billboard’s Comedy Album Chart and the Billboard Hot 100!

Later, Newhart decided to pursue an acting career, starring as Dr. Robert Hartley in the Bob Newhart Show back in the 1970s.

As you likely know, Barker hosted the popular game show from 1972 until 2007. That’s the record for any game show host, anywhere! Throughout his career, Barker used his platform to speak up about the cause dearest to his heart: animal rights. Unfortunately for fans, Barker decided to enter retirement back in 2007. However, he has made a couple of appearances on the Price is Right since then!
