OT: Richard Lewis, Comedian and Ohio State Grad, Passes Away
Richard Lewis, comedian and Ohio State grad, passed away today from a heart attack.
For those of us who are Curb Your Enthusiasm fans, how ironic is it that he was talking about including Larry David in his will in a recent episode, to which Larry replied "No thanks."?
RIP Prince of Pain

RIP.
I never thought his early stuff was that funny, but his role in Curb was fantastic.

The “Vehicular Fellatio” episode is very very funny.

Was just about to post this as well. Rewatched him hyping up the Buckeyes and Coach Day. RIP to someone who brought me a lot of laughs https://twitter.com/CollegeGameDay/status/1596535763578994689?lang=en

Looked like he almost broke into a "Go Blue!"
And that dance! Ooof!

Was he actually complimenting Ryan Day or was that sarcasm? I actually couldn't tell.

Didn't realize he was 76. Time flies.

Not going to hold that against him...
Remember some of his old days on Letterman.
RIP...

Rest in peace you amazing and hilarious jew.

He and Larry David were born 3 days apart in the same hospital, that's pretty cool.
February 28th, 2024 at 9:09 PM ^
Best friends for life 🙏

Except that they apparently first met at summer camp, where they hated each other. Which is even funnier and more touching, in a way.

This is not the FREEP OBIT section...!!!
February 29th, 2024 at 10:46 PM ^
Oh No!
February 28th, 2024 at 6:12 PM ^
Maybe if you tell me the bad news in a good way it won't sound so bad!!
RIP

February 29th, 2024 at 10:48 AM ^

R.I.P. I first remember him from the Boku juice commercials from when I was a little kid. And years I rediscovered him in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

R.I.P. Richard Lewis. Favorite episode with Lewis was “The _____ from hell” episode.
February 28th, 2024 at 6:21 PM ^
I used to get BoKu juice boxes packed in my lunch as a kid. My buddies would tease "All I wanted was a BoKu!"
edit: Danny beat me to it!
February 28th, 2024 at 6:27 PM ^
Those BoKu commercials introduced me to Richard Lewis. RIP

“I have a mole?”

Also, just six months later, Tim Wakefields widow died from cancer also. Very sad for the young family to lose young parents
February 28th, 2024 at 6:59 PM ^
A rare positive from OSU.
RIP. Richard Lewis

Saw him do stand up once, a buddy had extra tickets and I tagged along, not knowing what to expect.
He was absolutely hilarious. Had the entire audience rolling.
February 28th, 2024 at 8:22 PM ^
I enjoyed him in the movie "Robin Hood Men in Tights"

RIP. Great Show
