Remember him from John Byner/Bizarre show in the 80's.  RIP Super Dave!

Watching those on broadcast TV, half the fun was the VW bug horn that would censor out the cursing.  Super Dave in pain, yelling “Holy crap”, but us watching WUTV hearing “Holy BEEP BEEP”.  The CN Tower cancelled jump was a good one.  Only Wile E. Coyote took more physical abuse than Super Dave.

Super Dave was PHENOMENAL on Letterman.  One of my favorite frequent guests.

 

Me too. Letterman is the reason I knew who Super Dave was, and he was always a blast - sometimes, quite literally!

RIP. Last nite's news mentioned three celebrities dying, all 76 years old. Along with Super Dave, Gene Okerlund, WWE announcer, and Daryl Dragon - the Captain of Captain and Tennille. 

Some were even saying Olivia Newton John had died after reports said she had weeks to live. She wasnt 76 though and released a video saying she was still alive.

Norm MacDonald loved him and Super Dave was his first guest on his podcast.  If you like both of them, this is gold:

 

 

 

The format started with the first show for picking on the sidekick.

 

 

Bob had a second appearance?

Well, he was jerking off punks under the Queensboro Bridge for $15 a man...

 

Bob's jokes were perfectly horrible and tasteless and funny

 

The abuse of the sidekick gets worse and worse with Norm, Gilbert G won that hands down.

 

Great show to listen to, he left then came back to promote his book, then left, keep waiting for Norm to get going again.

Norm's show is now on Netflix.

His other great podcast was ripping in Gilbert Gottfired’s sidekick, in a different way.  And Bob had the best Redd Foxx anecdotes from writing on his TV show.

 

Hopefully BamBam makes an appearance in the next season of Curb
