Besides being the brother of Albert Brooks, he was Super Dave Osborne as well as Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Sadly he has also passed away at the age of 76. Today really is a crappy day.

I know of him as Larry Middleman aka George Senior's surrogate in Arrested Development.
RIP

I would've never guessed him and Mean Gene were the same age. Quite sad. I wonder if Kimmel will have a tribute to him when he's back from break as Super Dave was his announcer for a time.

My first thought was Kimmel too. He was also a regular guest on the show for awhile when I first started watching Kimmel, so I'd be surprised if Kimmel doesn't do something, probably on Monday's show.
RIP.

Damn. The Super Dave Osborne Show aired for years on network TV in Canada, so I grew up watching that show. Loved his stuff, and loved him on Curb

He had a hell of a long career, starting with being a writer on the legendary Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour to his creation of Super Dave to his later work on Curb.. and Arrested Development.

I know he got fame by being Super Dave, but Funkhouser is one of my favorite characters on TV. Just a hilarious dude.

I was introduced to Super Dave on the old John Byner's Bizarre sketch comedy show in the early 80s. Excellent comic.

Damn... i used to watch Super Dave on Bizarre as well. His segments were hilarious. My dad hated comedy shows but loved Super Dave.
Rest in peace, sir.

He was a regular on the Dan Le Batard Show w/Stugotz until he thought the show was cursed. He was a really funny guy on those spots and on CYE.
RIP Super Dave.

In the US, the "Super Dave" cartoon was the original lead-in for the 90s X-Men Animated series.
Years later, whenever asked what Dave's sidekick Fuji was up to, Dave would say "He joined the X-Men."
Also Super Dave was the perfect first guest for Norm Macdonald Live. Definitely go look that and his other appearances on there up. One of my all time favorite zingers: "Nobody is listening to this! We could yell out the window of a bus and be reaching more people!"
