Bob Newhart acknowledges College Football Playoff referee lookalike
Congratulations to the Ohio State Buckeyes, winners of the inaugural football College Football Playoff national championship who also had the pleasure of meeting legendary actor-comedian Bob Newhart during their 42-20 victory over Oregon Monday night.
And here's what the 85-year-old Newhart had to say:
Okay, yeah, the head ref does look like Bob Newhart. "He didn't make Master Tinker until he was 490." #CFBConGMA pic.twitter.com/scSv0pVV8n

In regards to my new career as head ref for #OSUvsORE - Hey, I don't have a series any more - I had to do something. #OSUvsORE
