Comedian Bob Einstein has passed away at the age of 76. He was perhaps best known as “Marty Funkhouser” on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and as the titular stuntman on Showtime’s The Super Dave Osborne Show.
The brilliant comedic actor had recently been diagnosed with cancer.
We’ve included social tributes from his brother, Albert Brooks, and from Curb cast members.
Check out clips below of Einstein on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and The Super Dave Osborne Show.
R.I.P. My dear brother Bob Einstein. A great brother, father and husband. A brilliantly funny man. You will be missed forever.

I’m in shock.
I knew him forever. ♥️to his loved ones. His long career is hard to match. His role on #curbyourenthusiasm was excruciatingly brilliant! Our cast and crew will be devastated.
He was so loved. He told me how much he loved LD and Curb. RIP buddy. @HBO pic.twitter.com/G8f5PoffuF— Richard Lewis (@TheRichardLewis) January 2, 2019
Did Grover Drop the F-Bomb on Sesame Street?

Grove did not drop the F-bomb on Sesame Street! Of course, he didn’t!
As you’ll see below the Grover video, Frank Oz weighs in on the subject. We should probably take his word for it since he’s the one voicing Grover for 35+ years.
What Grover is saying in this clip is:
That sounds like an excellent idea!
However, it’s causing controversy because some people swear he’s saying:
That’s a f***ing excellent idea!
If you listen for it both ways, you can hear one or the other. There are those, though, who claim they can only hear the clean (actual) version, and those who can only hear the NSFW version.
Judge for yourself.
the new Yanni v. Laurel? — some people swear they hear Grover saying, \”that\’s a f**king excellent idea.\”

Wait. You mean some of you out there seriously believe that Grover on Sesame Street would say the word “fuck” — on camera or off-camera? Really???? https://t.co/PFjnjYYQ8p

This mugshot is one for the ages. This is an instant classic!
The man pictured above is in trouble for assaulting a Muslim food delivery driver after he started strangling her with her own niqab.
Those lovely marks on his face and head? That’s not meth. Those are the places he was stabbed with her keys as she fought for her life. Amazing he didn’t end up losing an eye.
