Bob Einstein, a two-time Emmy winner who has recurred on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm since its launch and created the wacky Super Dave Osborne character, died today in Indian Wells, CA. He was 76 and recently had been diagnosed with cancer.

I had no idea he was related to Albert Brooks.

Me neither! TIL

I guess "Albert Einstein" would have been a challenging stage name.

I had no idea either that the "Super Dave" character had been around so long. I found it funny on the character's Wikipedia page that there is a section listing several name drops of Super Dave in 90s rap songs.
