RIP, Super Dave


Recommended Posts

Damn, I'm sorry to report Bob "Super Dave" Einstein has passed away. His appearances on Letterman were always hilarious as was his Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

A true comedy natural.

R.I.P. My dear brother Bob Einstein. A great brother, father and husband. A brilliantly funny man. You will be missed forever.

 

 

RIP, Super Dave, you will indeed be missed.

I remember him from way back as the cop on Smothers Bros, which most people don't mention (other than here!).

There was a mention of his passing on NPR this morning (which I only half heard), and I'm almost positive it mentioned something about the Smother's Brothers.  I'll have to search and see if the audio is on-line.

Yes. He started out as a writer on Smothers Brothers and became a regular character in skits as "Officer Judy".

Some of the gag-writing and the stunts on the Super Dave show (which was originally shot in Toronto) were written by Paul Grosney.  He was a swing/dixie-style trumpet player, and booked jazz gigs in the city.  One was a side job to the other, but most of us couldn't decide which was which.  He made a couple of big band records which were pretty good!

Here's Groz with bassist Rosemary Galloway and Gene DiNovi...
