Super Dave Osborne's Celebrity Close Call | Letterman

[@lorip.1110]

Bob Einstein is a legend. It's incredible that he and Albert Brooks are brothers. What a talented family. RIP!

[@kali3665]

Albert Brooks changed his name because he thought it would be weird to be a comedian named Albert Einstein.... 😃

[@Rob_Kates]

Their dad was a comic too. I loved seeing Super Dave with Letterman and also Carson.

[@kali3665]

@@Rob_Kates Best known as Parkyakarkus, he sadly passed away of a heart attack during a Friars Roast of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

[@shitheadthegolem845]

I had no idea Super Dave was related to Hank Scorpio.

[@lorip.1110]

@shitheadthegolem845 The dire repercussions of 'Project Arcturus' are still being felt today.

[@roymunson1]

His videod podcast with Norm Macdonald is the best i ever watched or listened to. Legends, RIP.

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

I'M NOT A PART OF THIS

[@seosamhrosmuc]

Explain to the folks at home who Norm Macdonald is

[@kevinrhea7332]

I’ve been chomping at the bits to ask “Where do you get your comments from ?

Did you say that? I can't believe you said that.

[@simplesimon755]

There's just something about a Dave. Bob Einstein's comedic timing and control of the audience was impeccable. Thanks for the great memories.

[@gfy69]

The seriousness of Super Dave and his staying in character is so funny. I forgot all about this.

[@AztecHusBone]

Dude had the best dead pan expression in the business!

[@SirWilly77]

His peerless ability to retain a straight face never failed to amaze me.

[@MrEvans1973]

Loved it when he showed up on Late Night! And glorious on Curb. RIP.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

"your c*** is in the sink"!

[@Rob_Kates]

Great deadpan delivery. Back in the 60s, he wrote for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with Steve Martin, Rob Reiner and other funny folks.

[@terebellum1981]

I grew up watching Bob on John Byner Comedy Hour and Bizarre. Always looking forward to the skits with Super Dave. Thank you for all the laughters, after all these years still missing you. RIP Bob.

[@DonGoldstein-b7q]

He was an original! I love the fact that he was at the Caesars Palace jump when Robbie Knievel made that jump and greeted him on the landing ramp along with Evel.

[@paulnolan4971]

King of the Road but forever a jester before the bridge. RIP Bob

[@donaldbucher472]

Letterman clearly loves Super Dave.

[@TerryWilkie]

Bob Einstein did a fantastic job of stone facing in character through all of this. That alone is a talent in itself.

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

More super dave please, his bits are great.

[@_krimzen_]

Deadpan World Champion!

[@JayRock21122]

He was also great on Arrested Development.

[@Jim_L]

I love it when Letterman gets such a kick out of his guests. He gets so giddy. 🤣

[@gazellwilliams2773]

I remember watching,Super Dave as a teenager 😂

[@dehydratedwater9806]

I was 29 when this aired.

[@leebrock4783]

​@@dehydratedwater9806 Wow, you're really old. I was only 26. 😊

[@randall-king]

How did you watch him when he was a teenager? Did you work at the school he attended?

[@fucheduck]

(Super)Dave's expressionless humor when Paul says "This is great! Just my size!".

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

I watched him every chance I got to when I was a kid - - was always funny...

[@MrBuketman]

Yes! And then followed his career from there.

[@ajjones7650]

LOVE SUPER DAVE

[@jmaxxtv9912]

I miss Bob...and I miss Norm...and I miss Bob with Norm...

[@WilliamDelorenzi]

Those were the days!!😂😂

[@paulnolan4971]

my friend I thought they'd neeeeever end

[@topcat43truffles15]

I remember watching Dave the night this aired…. Super Dave Osborne, the Man, the Myth and without any doubt, the LEGEND! It’s still as good as it was 35 years ago. 👍🏻🍻❤️😎

[@thegood9]

Man I miss Bob. He was glorious in his day. Master of low key, understated, sarcastic humor long before anyone else attempted something like that. His comedy was new and fresh and original and creative. A master.

[@fucheduck]

I don't think the 1980s Buick Regals even come in "stick".

[@toekneetogo]

Super Dave: "I know what I'm doing." 1:15 Dave: "HA!" Super Dave: (death stare) CLASSIC!! 👍🥰😎

[@bigfan8830]

The true golden era of Late Night.

[@wrongway3363]

Nothing short of Brilliant ! Period.

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

Thank you so much for posting this. His Letterman appearances were great.

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

RIP Bob Einstein.

[@radiobrewster]

From Officer Judy to Super Dave, Bob Osborne was a comic genius. It's so satisfying watching Dave try to make him break. He is missed.

[@cactaceous]

Bob Einstein. Marty Funkhouser and Larry Middleman to his TV friends.

[@richardyoon4209]

One of the great guests for Dave. He would have something in the beginning belittling Paul at the start and it always cracked me up.

[@roderickcampbell2105]

SD (Bob) was one of a kind. Byner was awesome too. Making people laugh and enjoy the moment is a rare talent.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

Ha! Dave almost got Bob to break a few times.

[@Danimal77]

And Bob genuinely made Dave laugh (even though he was trying to hold it back) several times.

[@robclarkson5356]

Keep the Super Dave clips coming please, Barbara!

[@sandy3482]

" I'm having a drink with my son in law" Super Dave

[@mikehunt9884]

they used to have super dave on YTV (im in canadia) and as a kid i didn't get it but as i got older like late teens we used to get high and watch reruns of super dave all night.. that show was brilliant.

[@paulnolan4971]

I love and miss him man - all of his incarnations. So much funnier than Albert Einstein.

[@cactaceous]

Albert is a genius in his own write or right. Or left. He made some of the funniest films of the last 50 years.

[@leonardsteinberg4838]

Officer Judy hit the road.

[@kevinfalkner1624]

Rip: Super Dave. Every time i think of genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings, I'll think of you.❤

[@KARIS1961]

Love this man! ❤❤❤

[@billcrotts5456]

He was the greatest daredevil of anytime, Dave

[@Mike1614YT]

gotta love Bob. RIP

[@michaelgilbert3713]

LOVE THAT SONG PUSH BROOM 😊

[@dezertfox3130]

I laughed so loud my neighbors complained and they are a mile away

[@jmg999]

My father and I used to refer to him as "Stupid Dave," b/c so much of what he did was so dumb, but it was also the right level of stupid, b/c it was funny as all get out.

[@hanzzarkov7690]

Some refer to it as satire.

[@mtroy0620]

Rest In Peace Bob. King of the poker face.

[@paulnolan4971]

He was such a cunning stunt man.

[@BobABooey.]

Letterman in the 80's was the best.

[@walternullifidian]

I bet Super Dave didn't play chess. Now THAT 's dangerous!

[@spg1026]

Incredible Super Dave. Genius. Letterman is perfect with Super. Maybe as good as Norm was with Super Dave.

[@scottstern6508]

Oh funkhauser, how we miss you!

[@corndogrequiem1728]

He was so straight, he owned a whole kennel.

[@SHOman_86]

Closest I’ve seen him to breaking

[@davidsthubbins176]

I love how every time Bob comes on, Dave tries so hard to make him break. All he gets is the slightest smirk.

[@mikebaron4525]

This Is Great!!!!

[@marktatum2592]

Way to go Dave. 👏

[@Bruce_Peters]

He had the best deadpan looks.

[@t7489]

Crazy to think that his brother is Albert Einstein

The build up and pay off for Super Dave stunts is better than any Quinton Tarantino movie.
