Gettysburg PR | Bob Newhart

Off The Record (1992) - YouTube

"In this classic bit from his special, ‘Off The Record’, Bob imagines what it would be like to be Abe Lincoln’s publicist. The bit was originally performed in 1960 on Bob’s album, ‘The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart’." "Button-down"?

"The one part he took out is the section about changing Four Score and Seven to Eighty Seven and tells Abe that it's meant to be a 'grabber' and follows it up by saying "It's kind of like Marc Anthony saying, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I got somethin' I want to tell ya." The section got great laughs on the original album, wish he had kept it in."
