https://deadline.com/2024/02/richard-lewis-dead-1235841064/ Richard Lewis, one of America’s most beloved and revered stand-up comics who also played a fictionalized version of himself on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, died last night at his home in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack. He was 76. His death was confirmed by his publicist Jeff Abraham. Lewis had been living with Parkinson’s disease, a diagnosis he revealed in April, 2023. “His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for all the love, friendship and support and asks for privacy at this time,” Abraham said. Lewis, who got his start in the New York and Los Angeles comedy scenes of the 1970s along with comics such as Andy Kaufman, Richard Belzer and Elayne Boosler and quickly became a favorite of late night shows including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, developed a singular stage persona nearly as dark as the all-black clothes he favored. Self-deprecating, razor-sharp and brutally honest about his addictions and neurosis, Lewis was the rare comic who could rival the curmudgeonly but highly relatable outlook on life honed by his longtime pal and Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star Larry David. Making his acting debut in the 1979 NBC special Diary of a Young Comic, a 90 minute film aired in the Saturday Night Live slot, Lewis’ national profile grew significantly over the next two decades as his edgy observations were welcomed and celebrated by talk hosts David Letterman, Jay Leno and, on radio, Howard Stern. TV comedy specials followed, his first Showtime special, pointedly titled I’m In Pain, aired in 1985. He became on of the premiere presences on HBO with comedy specials in 1988, 1990 and 1997. Although his humor was hardly a fit for sitcoms of the era, he co-starred for several seasons in the late ’80s-early ’90s with Jamie Lee Curtis on Anything but Love, and with Don Rickles on 1993’s Daddy Dearest. In 1998 he co-starred with Kevin Nealon in the sitcom Hiller and Diller. Film credits included 1993’s Robin Hood: Men in Tights, in which he played Prince John, and 1995’s Drunks. Also that year, he appeared in Leaving Las Vegas. Lewis began what would arguably be his signature role – based, fittingly enough, on himself – in 2000 when he was cast by his childhood friend Larry David on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. The two New Yorkers had met at summer camp when they were 12 and re-established their friendship on the New York comedy circuit a decade later. Although he largely retired from performing following his Parkinson’s diagnosis, he returned to Curb periodically, most recently during the show’s current (and final) season.

He had a seizure following surgery to address his cancer. The couple were married in 2002, and they are survived by their children, Trevor and Brianna.

One way to stop it would to fine the college $20 million and they must forfeit the game…

Actually when Ted passed I took over his team and I had already had the Nationals, IIRC…

So what coach will be around to chew gum like a cow during the game?

Update?

What if they don't have internet or a smart phone and want to watch this game for some reason?

Pat is looking out for himself and his show... If he wants attention drawn to it, he would rather it be because of him, not Rodgers...

Okay, but I don't think it really matters that much in the long run...

If you spend time listening to a musician, athlete, actor/actress, politician, etc for health information (for anything really) during a crisis, you have more serious issues...

That's a lot of piss...

How come seafoam and HT never do any of these contests? Does finishing in last place scare them so much?

at cmh excited about a #1 ranking in early January...
