How to use bob in a sentence?

  1. Dave Coulier:

    We made each other laugh, and, you know, it was me, Bob Saget and [ the late ] Garry Shandling, and Bob Saget always had a three-way calling, so the three of us would be on the road, and Bob Saget always would patch me and Garry Shandling in, and we were like three fifth graders.

  2. Bob Newhart:

    Suzie and I had a great relationship, those things are hard to find. Later, when I was doing ‘ Actor Bob Newhart, ’ I told( on-screen wife) Mary Frann, ‘ You have a really tough job because they’re going to think of my wife as Suzie.' Pleshette and Actor Bob Newhart were able to bring their hilarious encounters to life in front of a live audience – even if it meant breaking some rules.

  3. Matt Polk:

    Everyone in the room knew that she and Bob were finally together again, watching the festivities from box seats high above them all. The evening ended with a raucous audience singalong led by Bob's wife, Kelly Saget, and his daughters Aubrey and Lara. The ode, in homage to Bob's salty sense of humor, was ‘My Dog Licked My Balls,’ it's just an amazing special of music. Everybody gets up and sings ‘A Dog Licked My Balls,’.

  4. Adam Schiff:

    Most Americans in their busy lives haven't had the opportunity to read that report, and it is a pretty dry, prosecutorial work product. We want Bob Mueller to bring it to life... It's a pretty damning set of facts.

  5. Kanye West:

    Bob please never speak in public again... you are everything that is wrong with the old guard ...
