2008-11-13 Super Dave Osbourne
Nothing stops Super Dave Osborne. No matter the disaster, the 'deadpan daredevil' survives it all. Bob Einstein is the brains inside Super Dave's crash helmet. He too is a survivor and he's worked with the best of the best. In recent years, you've seen him in 'Oceans 13' and 'Arrested Development' and as the unstoppable 'Marty Funkhauser' on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' But Bob's been getting laughs for a long time. The son of a comedian and the brother of writer/director Albert Brooks, Bob wrote for 60's rebels 'The Smothers Brothers', sharing the writing room with Steve Martin and Rob Reiner. In the 70's, he worked with everyone from 'Sonny and Cher' to Redd Foxx. Then, in the 80's, 'Super Dave' became a household name and he did it on a Canadian show - the always outrageous 'Bizarre' with John Byner. The character was an instant hit, Super Dave has gone on to be a talk show fave, the star of his own shows and feature-length movie. These days, Bob is back with a new DVD called 'Super Dave's Super Stunt Spectacular.'
