History Creator / BobEinstein

The son of radio comedian Harry "Parkyakarkus" Einstein and actress Thelma Leeds, and the older brother of Creator/AlbertBrooks (who was famously born Albert Einstein, though none of the Einstein family were related to ''the'' UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein), Bob, who stood 6' 4" (193 cm), played center for the basketball teams at Beverly Hills High School and Chapman College (now University) in Southern California, before taking a job with an ad agency. He'd begun performing on local TV comedy shows in Los Angeles, using what would become his trademark approach of performing in character as a ComicallySerious figure, and Tommy Smothers happened to see one of his routines and hired Einstein for ''Series/TheSmothersBrothersComedyHour'', both as a writer and performer, with Einstein appearing as the RecurringCharacter of [[CluelessDeputy Officer Judy]]. After that, Einstein was busy as a VarietyShow writer, producer and performer in TheSeventies. The character of Super Dave originated in this era in a series of one-off sketches stretched out over several shows.

He passed away on January 2, 2019 of cancer at the age of 76.

In 1980, Einstein went to Canada to create and produce the SketchComedy series ''Series/{{Bizarre}}'', which also gave him a regular venue to perform Super Dave, and the character became popular enough to get his own spinoff series, ''Series/SuperDave''. After that series ended in 1991, the character got multiple spinoffs. First, Einstein voiced Super Dave in the short-lived animated series ''Super Dave: Daredevil at Large'' (1992–93). In 2000, he starred in the [[DirectToVideo direct-to-DVD]] film ''The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave''. After leaving Super Dave behind for a few years, he brought back the character for a final run in 2009, hosting and even [[SoYouWantTo/BeABooker booking]] an episode of ''[[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA Impact!]]'', and also making ''Super Dave's Spike Tacular'', a four-episode limited series for Creator/SpikeTV.
