Bob Newhart’s hometown of Chicago found a heartfelt way to remember the late comedy legend. On Sept. 5, which would have marked his 96th birthday, the city unveiled an honorary street sign celebrating his legacy and deep connection to the place he always considered home. The moment became more than just a ceremony. Fans, family, and friends turned the unveiling into a singalong, singing “Happy Birthday” and sharing warm memories of the star who entertained generations with his sharp wit and unmistakable delivery. According to Parade, the tribute unfolded near the North Side building made famous in The Bob Newhart Show.

The sign now stands on North Sheridan Road between Ardmore and Thorndale Avenues, right by the building featured in the sitcom’s iconic opening credits. For longtime viewers, the location served as an instantly recognizable backdrop and a reminder of Newhart’s place in television history.

He recalled how the building became one of the most familiar sights in Chicago thanks to the sitcom. For many, the unveiling wasn’t just a civic gesture—it was a chance to celebrate a performer who left a permanent mark on comedy and on the city itself.

They spoke with gratitude about the honor and noted how much Chicago meant to their father. Jennifer described the city as his “heart and soul,” while Courtney called the timing on his birthday “pretty special.” Timothy added lightheartedly that while Newhart lived in Los Angeles, “you can take the Chicago boy out of Chicago.” ELF, Bob Newhart, 2003, (c) New Line/courtesy Everett Collection The family also shared how comedy shaped their lives, especially with both parents immersed in the art. With his Emmy-winning Bob Newhart Show and later roles in Elf, Legally Blonde 2, and The Big Bang Theory, Newhart’s humor spanned decades. The Bob Newhart birthday special in Chicago served as both a hometown tribute and a reminder of his enduring influence.
