Richard Lewis, Neurotic Comic and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Actor, Dies at 76

The master of self-deprecating comedy whined his way to stardom with stand-up TV specials, a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall and appearances on 'Anything but Love.'

Always made me laugh on Curb Your Enthusiasm. One of my favorite lines from that show is Larry telling Lewis how Jon Hamm is playing him in a movie and Lewis responds "What's the name of the movie? The Biggest Asshole That Ever Walked The Earth?"

Love ya, Richard.

Always a big fan of Richard Lewis. Loved his talk show appearances over the years. Thanks for the laughs, and R.I.P.

...Shit. At least we got him in the final season of Curb.

R.I.P., man.

Eddie Trunk mentioned this on his show today. What’s a little strange is that, on a very recent Curb episode, he and David got into an argument about who was going to live longer. RIP.

I liked his funny performance in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Rest in Peace.

Very sad news. RIP RL. I first remember seeing him doing some great stand-up routines on TV back in the '80's. And, much later caught him on multiple seasons of the hilarious Curb your Enthusiasm. His exchanges with LD on Curb were especially hilarious & clever. He was definitely a consummate entertainer/comedian.

Here's an early appearance; his self-deprecating humor was great:

Yet another legend who will be missed.

R.I.P - And thanks for the great comic ad-libs on Curb!
