There are a few episodes of both "The Bob Newhart Show" and "Newhart" in which things go awry on a TV talk show. Bob (as Dick Louden) actually hosts a talk show on the latter series. But my favorite is Bob (as Dr. Robert Hartley) trying to deal with a caustic host. My second favorite is from "Newhart," when Don Rickles guests plays an out-of-work actor who gets a talk show, and then gets Dick as his sidekick. The final scene does not seem scripted, by the way (Newhart and Rickles are best friends in real life).
