RIP Richard. You will be remembered and missed. Anything but Love was an underappreciated TV series.

[@bairdduvessa]

I forgot about that series

[@rastagirl007]

A wonderful series. Always a fan of this wonderful man. Watching last of Curb, bitter sweet.

[@deaw87]

I bought the DVD from Amazon. The show is just as sweet as I remember. ❤

[@sammcbride2149]

Only Richard Lewis could take 10 minutes to tell a 1 minute story and make it fantastic.

[@TJ-kk5zf]

no, Norm

[@chairwood]

​norm also. also dead. ​@@TJ-kk5zf

[@Geshreeyeh]

He just comes across as such a lovely man. He'll be greatly missed 😢

[@CaesarDarias]

Richard Lewis was one of a small handful of people who was “appointment viewing” for me. Thank you for years of laughter, Mr. Lewis. RIP.

[@MarilynMorrison]

Rest In Peace Richard Lewis 😢💔

[@Sourpusscandy]

What? How when?

[@raymondnugent8235]

Amen 🙏

[@JesusSaves77799]

Amen! 🙏💖

[@michignamymichigan]

Richard Lewis, you are missed. ❤ Bless you, in Glory. 💛

[@jeesmith99]

Miss them both. Many years of entertainment.

[@J35Y1]

I'm born 98 but I love johnny carson, watch him every week. I wish he was still alive to make more

[@Jillyconjem]

I had the great pleasure of seeing Richard Lewis perform at the Valley Forge date mentioned in this video. He was amazing. I also had the honor of meeting him. Gracious, gloriously neurotic, and wonderful. I’m heartbroken. Rest in Peace, sir. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Okaydo1]

A reminder that Doc Severinson is still alive, closing on on 97.

[@grioulaloula8594]

Holy crap! Doc was born in 1927.

[@Stonewall1861]

He was a great comic.❤

[@ORagnar]

His talk show appearances were some of my favorites. Always hilarious. RIP Richard... you were a gem o

[@patriciakleinschmidt3425]

His self deprecating humor made him very special. He was loved by ma y. 💔💔💔

[@barbaragottlock230]

My hubby and I saw him many years ago at NYC's Bottom Line and sat at the front table. He was hilarious. His legacy will be- one of the greatest stand-ups of all time. His unique brand of humor was off the charts.

[@rosalinkrieger3352]

Oh that big, beautiful hair! He was gorgeous!

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

i agree with you about his hair although as a man, i'm not prepared to say he was gorgeous. but i certainly have been moved to tears watching him on letterman and watching him here. carl weathers' death upset me similarly.

[@mike2312p]

I agree what a luscious mane.

[@JJParadise1]

One of my favorites. Rest in Peace.

[@cohencohen54]

Amazing how he took over the show. I always liked his humor. RIP.

[@lonewolf1053]

Dude was brilliant and quite a storyteller!..RIP....

[@NevadaBoss]

Man we've lost a lot of great comics the last few years...Norm Macdonald, Bob Saget, Gilbert Gottfried, Bob 'Super Dave' Einstein and now Richard. RIP Richard....thanks for all the laffs.

[@jamesbeal8174]

Saw Richard snd Dennis Miller together in the late 80’s, one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. RIP Richard Lewis

[@witchy6978]

"I saw"

[@rfink222]

What a funny guy, can't believe he is gone.

[@michaelsix9684]

Richard was beyond funny, truly will be missed, glad we had him for so long

[@ravendixon1099]

Rest in peace Richard. Just watched this clip and my brain got a workout but in a good way. ❤

[@bonn777]

Richard was brilliant. He was like an intellectual Rodney Dangerfield.

[@tdunph4250]

Mr Lewis. An underrated and often misunderstood genius of a comedian. R.I.P.

[@zazuzazz5419]

Richard Lewis is an American Master. ❤ Rest in bliss, ya kooky genius, you! 🕊️

[@keyser_soze_tus2205]

RIP Richard you've always brought huge laughs with your Neurotic humor. God Bless 🙏

[@janetr9987]

He made being a guest an artform. Such a generous brilliant guest

[@martinharvey3990]

How can you not love Richard Lewis... Got into Curb last month, and now on the 7th series... Everytime Richard shows up, I say "Yes" Richards here! He never disappoints.

[@CM-ho5ic]

This one hurts 😢 RIP Mr Lewis & thanks for entertaining us

[@timin770]

Richard was comedy royalty. Fact

[@christophercox8237]

Wonder if he’s a guest in The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Heaven edition…. Rip to all of them.

[@turnsufficient4971]

I love his story telling ! He was a neurotic comedic genius and thanks for the laughs. Comment posted Feb 29th, 2024 @ 12:34AM EST

[@stevenzilinsky3766]

“Who else is on?” Haha Literally burst out laughing at that. Beautiful man. RIP Richard.

[@unclebrucelive]

A truly original comedy talent - no one else could do this kind of humor so well....RIP.

[@steveconn]

Loved him on Anything But Love. Saw him live once in the later years. Took Jewish neuroticism to new heights. RIP the great Richard.

[@nazaretsalinas9997]

What a funny man. I loved him when he and Don Rickles did "Daddy Dearist." Such a sad loss indeed.

[@joycampi7233]

To my fellow New Jerseyan, Richard Lewis: RIP 🙏 Curb won't be the same w/o you! 😢😞

[@gamernorcal]

cant believe 1990 was 34 years ago

[@pmafterdark]

You and me both. Feels like yesterday.

[@robertfrederick4714]

No kidding

[@EndoftheTownProductions]

Difficult to believe. Time does fly by.

[@MarvinMonroe]

I can't believe 1989 was 35 years ago

[@BMWMTEAM1]

The youth is lost This era is truly missed

[@Steve-bi2wo]

So friggin true

[@lasmoker67]

This has been repeated over and over by every older generation 😂

[@user-hn9hu8rm5g]

Richard Lewis is priceless. RIP brother.

[@yournaturalfather]

Another fabulous talent. Always sad to see one go.

[@paulhunt4690]

RIP Mr Lewis. You got me through the 80’s.

[@annegreenwood3624]

a legend he never failed to make me laugh may he rip

[@jillkjv3816]

"Westbury Music Fair in New York". Growing up there and seeing countless shows and stars there I am always happy to hear it mentioned. I'm so old I remember seeing shows there when they still were a tent, not a building. 😊

[@dabearcub]

Love you Richard, Johnny! Thanks for uploading this Carson team!

[@ricoz2016]

"Mr. Tangents" Loved him and always will❤

[@CartoonCo-Op]

May his memory be a blessing

[@asaone11]

Richard, was a great man who gave to all. He will be missed.

[@patrickfallon6192]

Carson makes it look easy and Richard is hilarious RIP

[@PATRIOTRICH1]

Pretty much outstanding self loathing classic comedy. We'll miss you Rich

[@GailHand]

Always loved the on and on stories

[@pmafterdark]

Richard was great lol. Rest in peace buddy.

[@chilobronzo1163]

Read Richard's The Other Great Depression and it helped me more than I could imagine with my issues, never thought of therapy after that. Connected with him first time I saw him his initial appearance on Letterman. A comic genius if ever there was one.

[@brez-ed9dd]

Richard was funny, Richard was cool, Richard was obviously, nobody's fool. RIP

[@caroleschaub9709]

Such a funny guy - describing his never ending angst, so funny.

[@SuDeep_M9999]

Never saw a man so restless & moving on his seat soo randomly throughout the show before I saw Richard Lewis!!!😅...

[@danporuban1762]

Richard: As a youth, I also competed in the "Punt, Pass and Mourn!" Gonna miss your amazing humor!

[@TT-tu3wr]

Memories...he brought me to tears.A really funny guy. RIP.

[@deanmcdiarmid7068]

They are all gone. Thanks man

[@anothermonday5664]

"I say did I satisfy you and she says two wrongs don't make a right!" 😂😂😂

[@snoochpounder]

He was great in Curb

[@ScottBeamer]

This is how I remember Richard Lewis. I saw him on Carson several times.

[@gamernorcal]

Richard's act was never an act. it as how he was even off camera. RIP

[@atant2]

May his memory be a blessing. ❤

[@_PrimetimePranks]

Stand up comedy genius. RIP and join Carson, Shandling and Gottfried in Heaven.

[@EndoftheTownProductions]

Three legends

[@dockennedy8091]

The last third is gold.

[@howardkoor9365]

What an entertaining soul. RIP Richard ❤️❤️

[@pilarmaury7200]

Fro what I remember about him that was unique & so damn funny “ u r mocking me” just sheer GENIUS ❗️ Loved his funny as hell Humor, Peace Babe , No ONE like YOU 😢❤😢 & May I add terribly SEXY ❗️

[@jeffwatts1126]

This guy cracked me up when i was a kid in the 70's on Carson, many times. And he made me laugh on Curb Your enthusiasm, all the way up to last Sunday when he argued with Larry David about his will.....Three days later, he's gone. RIP Richard

[@pskully57]

I love the boom mic trying to follow him around.

[@ganderson158]

RIP Richard....you were awesome. Makes me feel old. Wait I am! Love Johnny too.

[@rockturtleneck]

R.I.P. Mr. Lewis. I love how he would come out on Carson or Letterman and just go right into his shtick.

[@joebiggs4387]

I had no idea that Richard Lewis died! RIP

[@brez-ed9dd]

"Who else is on?" CLASSIC.

[@btraven7681]

Saw the latest "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Tuesday so I've been worried and woke up this morning with a clear image of him with no specifics. Always reminded me of Buster Keaton and then I find out he was a huge fan of same and a friend of his wife Eleanor. So our contact was the Keaton Karass.

[@EddiePardovani-vb3zd]

That dude was insane! You can learn comedy watching him R.I.P. Richard Lewis

[@alreadytakento74]

Wow, so grateful to have been a witness to his career & light. RIP 🙏

[@user-kh6oq9oe6t]

Love you, Richard! Will miss you forever. You ALWAYS cracked me up! Whenever you were on, I tuned in. RIP....

[@ScooterOnHisWay2024]

Johnny always knew when to let people run. He brought out the best in everyone.

[@matthewguilliom6933]

As always, a Richard Lewis monologue for its' timing, delivery, and content and everything else. The sum is not even as grand as the total! It has got to be savored(and for aspiring comedians studied). What a gift we have lost! 5:15

[@mr.sandman1177]

Wow! Richard was excellent. RIP comedy brother.🙏

[@MisterSkip1111]

Hmmmm I met Ed McMahon & was friends with his son & I met Johnny & even though I was a stand up for many years sadly never met Richard, which I’m sure would’ve been an experience❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻RIP Richard🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@bakerman10]

This channel does amazing updating vids about stars in the news.

[@marjilaplante9579]

And Richard Lewis is gone now too

[@NinjaDildoShow]

RIP to one of the funniest legends to ever live. He stole the show in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights."

[@PraxisPeabody]

Wow, its been a min since I watched Johnny.

[@golds04]

So much Woody influence when he was younger. RIP-,thanks for the laughs Richard. ❤

[@Physicsnerd1]

Johnny Carson is, and will always be, the classiest talk show host.

[@IMMYSYAYO]

RIP RICHARD LEWIS AND MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND LARRY DAVID

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

Just got my tickets to see him in April!!! 2024 is gonna be a great year!!!

[@DR-mq1vn]

Uhm.....?????

[@craigphillips6308]

My god, this was fantastic! Richard Lewis was hysterical; and how about Johnny as the straight man? Both of them were one of a kind. RIP Richard, Johnny and Ed.

[@TruSciencePro]

Always loves Richard Lewis

[@syanhc]

The guy can talk…love RL❤

[@keithpatrick156]

Richard Lewis had some glorious hair back in the day. Him and Larry David hanging out back then must have been a riot.

[@davecongalton2858]

The greatest late night show in TV history--but they can't hide the microphone over Richard's head. WTH?

[@thecuriousquest]

I relate to Richard's brand of uncomfortably beautiful neuroses. See you on the other side someday! Thanks for overlapping my life enough to know you!

[@werquantum]

You’re missed, Richard. RIP.

[@debbiemartin2026]

Never realized how much he is like Woody Allen in hand and body gestures

[@yardarm5]

. I’m already hating myself . 😂

[@daverogers5609]

Rocket fire jokes. Rodney and Richard, two of the best.
