I'm in a bit of a bind currently. A friend of mine recently became academically ineligible, and I've been chosen to replace him in the Humorous Interpretation competition.

My question: Does anyone know of a published, printed work which contains Bob Newhart's famous "Driving Instructor" routine? I'm planning to perform the routine at the literary meet, and it's absolutely imperative that my source be printed, not recorded. There are other selections available for me to choose from, but I haven't found one yet that's quite as funny, so I'm holding out and hoping I can find it in print.

Before you ask, I've done numerous Google searches, I've checked Amazon.com, I've checked the local university library, and I've put this same question out on a few websites more closely related to Bob Newhart and stand-up comedy in general. If you have a specific suggestion on what I can do beyond this, please go ahead and post it.

Hmm, kinda tough to narrow it down. I've seen MANY MANY HI's done on Driving Instructors.

If you can't find any others, (near impossible task), you might look at Dave Barry's "Radio Daze", which I did my sophomore year. It has a person scanning through different radio stations. Wacky Hijinks ensue.

I wish I could help in your search. Good luck.

Why dont you use the "Baseball will never be popular" routine? i think its much funnier. or the "Tobacco" one. thats great.
