So great on Curb. So great in Men in Tights. This isn’t a surprise, but it’s still a day ruined.

Looks like this was their last scene together? Fitting if so

Hilarious. I need to watch this show in full. I've only seen bits and pieces.

What's the podcast?
There’s two weekly. The Jim Cornette Experience and Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru.

Richard Lewis’ passing really bummed me out.
As a Curb fan I was aware of his fragile appearance and Parkinson’s.
But I first came to know Richard Lewis as a neurotic NY comedian on late night shows thirty some odd years ago. I got his schtick and loved his mannerisms. I was happy to see him get some recognition with Anything But Love, his series with a then still hot Jamie Lee Curtis. The first season is still one of my favorite of tv seasons.
The guy made me laugh. As a top shelf comedian, and he was, that’s the best in memorium you can get.

Wow. It’s as if I had written this. I knew who Lewis was well before I had ever heard of Larry David. And it was from those same appearances. He was a wonderfully funny comic and has been one of “my guys” for a very long time. This one has hit me kinda hard.

Yeah, congestive heart failure is one of the many wonderful things on the Parkinson’s menu.

I didn't know he had Parkinson's. That's really rough.

I was supposed to see him live in NYC for a friend's bachelor party a few years back. I ended up missing out and that sucked then. It really sucks now. What a talent.
RIP

Another weird thing... The Brooklyn Jewish Hospital in which Richard Lewis and Larry David were both born is now an apartment building. An apartment building that I live in.
