#519 Bob Newhart Statue

Bob Newhart Statue, Chicago, 🇺🇸 United States

About this Stone

Standing along Navy Pier, this bronze statue pays tribute to a legendary comedian and actor known for his signature deadpan humor and the iconic 1970s sitcom set in this very city. The sculpture captures him seated in his famous therapist's chair, inviting visitors to take a seat beside him and make it one of the city's most interactive photo spots. When the statue was unveiled in 2004, the honoree himself joked that he hoped it wouldn't become a perch for pigeons—a true touch of classic wit that still resonates with those who visit.
