Big fan of Newhart! Interestingly enough, there was a reunion of the surviving cast of The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart in May where Peter Scolari was noticeably missing.

Captain Hemlock 737 Posted October 22, 2021 Donna Dixon was certainly worth staring at on Bosom Buddies. She later married Dan Aykroyd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,025 Posted October 24, 2021 On 24/06/2021 at 18:33, ladyfiona said: It has been revealed that James Michael Tyler who played Gunther from Friends has stage 4 prostate cancer and it is most likely terminal. From recent interviews he cannot walk anymore as the cancer has spread to his bones and he is now in a wheelchair. He was diagnosed in September of 2018. He didn't attend the most recent Friends reunion in person due to this. BBC News Interview June 2021: I'm guessing this is probably fake news, given not widely reported: James Michael Tyler is either very much alive or not. I'd have thought the real Mr Bright would have more followers... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
