Nooooo! I love Bob Einstein. Check out his 2 (two) recent appearances on Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars.

As a kid, it seemed inevitable that “Super Dave” should die at some point in time, but man…that took a long time. /s

I hope the drive to the cemetery avoids any embarrassing mishaps.

Some if us remember him from before Super Dave.
The original Smothers Brothers show. Writing for endless variety shows in the sixties and seventies. He just always seemed to be there, maybe because if his height.

there’s an episode of a pilot for an abominable show he co-starred in called “three for tahiti” on this sketchy video site - https://www.downvids.net/bob-einstein-quot-three-for-tahiti-quot-part-1--440082.html
it’s so bad, it’s entertaining in a time capsule way
Ah man…

They had a previous interview on CBC Radio. Apparently the dummy smacked down face-first into the back of someone’s convertible. It made an interesting police report.

I remember him from Bizarre with John Byner on CTV back in the day. Always some stunt gone wrong would result in Super Dave’s horrible yet not-fatal injury. The deadpan delivery was killer.

For those who didn’t notice, yes, his brother Albert Brooks changed his last from Einstein.
