My Take
Bob Einstein mastered both sides of comedy, the writing and the performing, and I hold nothing but admiration for that. Winning a 1969 Emmy for writing proves the craft was there from the start, and then he invented and embodied the deadpan stuntman parody Super Dave Osborne before later stealing scenes as Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm. That flat, unhurried delivery was utterly his own, a rhythm no one could imitate. Losing him in 2019 stung, but the footprint he left on comedy is enormous. Write it, perform it, land the laugh; he was about as complete a comedian as they come, and I miss that timing.
