So long, Richard Lewis

[Bob Jersey]

He had developed Parkinson's disease last year, after passing on several 2021 episodes of Curb while recovering from multiple surgeries, but it was his ticker that gave out, said V... 76.

I don’t believe Lewis was one of the funniest stand-ups of all time (he was good, but not great), but if I had to pick a comic to sit down to dinner with who would guarantee that I’d fall out of my chair laughing, he’d be a top candidate. He was just a naturally funny person, and the handful of times I got to share a room with him, I felt blessed

Back in the NBC days, the Letterman guests I and my friends most looked forward to were Jay Leno (hard to believe now, but he was great) and Richard Lewis. I had seen him at the Ice House a few times and just enjoyed his act so much. I started a re watch of Curb a few weeks ago to get ready for the last season, and now his episodes are bitter sweet. Will miss him.
