Title: David Brenner dies
Post by: rustybayonet on March 15, 2014, 08:28:44 PM: LOS ANGELES (AP) — David Brenner, the lanky, toothy-grinned "Tonight Show" favorite whose brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standups, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser, died Saturday. He was 78.

Brenner, who had been fighting cancer, died peacefully at his home in New York City with his family at his side, according to Jeff Abraham, his friend and publicist

RIP

I'd completely forgotten about him. And yes, he was funny at times. RIP.

R.I.P. David.
