      From all the work he did on tv and comedy in general, not only curb, it all boils down to that one appearance on Norm’s podcast, isn’t? None of the superdave or his earlier work matters or stands out to you and the others leaving that comment, no, being a guest on that podcast was the peak of his career and what you’ll remember about him, right?

    He was actually quite handsome back then. And Bob was the tallest Jew I’ve ever seen. Somehow that made his character on curb funnier, with his later crazy voice.

    I probably first saw Bob on the Smothers Brothers show but while I remember Officer Judy nothing connected. Then I saw him recurring on Steve Allen's show and the louder the audience laughed the straighter Bob's face got (when you thought it couldn't get any straighter). I think I still have his paperback book "This Is My First Magic Book So I'm a Little Nervous". Pat Paulsen has a page in it.

    Einstein was a genius and I mean BOTH of them! When he asks Liberace, " Do you know how fast you were playing? " it's golden. His poker face served him well, especially in Super Dave skits.

    This first TV appearance is where Tommy Smothers saw Dave. He called him and offered him a job as a writer on the Smothers Brothers TV show. That story is hilarious too. This is a different sort of humor that some people don't find funny; Andy Kaufman and Paul Reubens were sort of in the same boat.

      Seinfeld once said that he approaches comedy like science or math. He loves to disect jokes and is always fascinated with the core of comedy. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was part of that approach. I guess it depends on whether you like or dislike Seinfeld.
