Bob Einstein Dies: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Actor Who Created Super Dave Osborne Character Was 76

 

Bob Einstein, a two-time Emmy winner who has recurred on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm since its launch and created the wacky Super Dave Osborne character, died today in Indian Wells, CA. He was 76 and recently had been diagnosed with cancer.
Best known to today’s viewers for playing the serious, often surly but always hilarious Marty Funkhouser on Curb, Einstein was a foil for its creator-star Larry David. He appeared in nearly two dozen episodes of the series dating from, 2004 to the most recent season.
But Einstein first made his name as a writer. His career dates to the 1960s, when he won his first Emmy as part of the writing team for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, whose staff also included Steve Martin. Einstein went on to earn Emmy noms as a writer on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour in 1972 and 1974 and two more for writing on ###### Van Dyke’s mid-‘70s series Van Dyke and Company. Einstein also won his other Emmy as a producer for that show, sharing the 1977 award for Outstanding Comedy Series.

 

 

I never realized he was the older brother of Albert Brooks.

Two women are walking across a bridge when one says "I've always wanted to pee off a bridge, like guys do." Her friend says "go ahead, no one's looking."

 

So she squats over the bridge and says "Look, I'm gonna pee on that canoe down there!" Her friend says "That's not a canoe, that's your reflection."
