Last episode of Curb he was in he was yelling at Larry about their wills.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Fuck, love him in curb. “I’m a recovering alcoholic” RIP man.

Richard Lewis, a stand-up comedian who first achieved fame in the 1980s with his trademark acerbic, dark sense of humor, and who later parlayed that quality into an acting career that included movies like “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” and a recurring role as himself on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” died on Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 76.

Always liked this fella on Curb Your Enthusiasm. RIP.

Damn, was just watching Sunday's curb where they were going back and forth about dying. Hopefully he left him in his will.

RIP

This one hurts.

"You want to have a colon contest with me???"

 

[SlimySnake]

RIP. was just watching a curb clip with him this morning.

I will never forget his Galileo line. Absolutely hysterical.

 

[Jsisto]

"You want to have a colon contest with me???"

“She has bowel concern for you and I do, too!” One of my all time favorite curb lines, RIP

 

[FullMetalx117]

RIP

He knew his time was ending. Makes the last Curb season extra special and the dialogue in the last episode between him and Larry is all the more special (where they literally argue over who's going to die first). I'm glad he was able to do what he enjoyed in these last few months.

I like the BOKU juice

 

[Neon Xenon]

Dammit. One of my favorite Curb Your Enthusiasm cast members. Richard Lewis was great in Robin Hoood: Men in Tights. RIP.

I've rewatched Curb more times than I can recall, and always found his performance hilarious.

RIP

 

[AJUMP23]

Funny but he always looked rough on curb.

 

[Romulus]

Dude had the same hairstyle for 35 years. Consistent.

 

[Vyse]

Lewis and Super Dave. Need to get the Curb death pool going.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

These guys are the very last of a dying breed of NYC comedians. End of an era. Lewis was a fucking hilarious counter to David's misanthropic rants. When he bashes Larry telling him a praying mantis could operate that fucking phone...almost pissed myself.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I didn't even know he was in Curb Your Enthusiasm. I remember him from older movies and shows and stand-ups. He was really good.

 

[ShadowNate]

Sad news.

I think he should have been in more movies and/or TV, but we'll always have his scenes in Curb Your Enthusiasm and Men in tights.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

He's been through some unfortunate stuff. He fell off his roof a few years back, too. IIRC.
I dug his comedy, though. Man, first Joan now Richard. I don't feel old, yet, but... God damn..

 

[Ristifer]

An absolute legend. This is very sad news.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I always loved him in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and his appearances on Curb were always hilarious, him and Larry's back and forth were great. He's always looked like shit in Curb though and I thought he was older than he was even like 15 years ago.

Dude was a legend.

 

[GardenOfAbbylon]

Loved him in "The Wrong Guys"

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I hope someday I will die too

 

[Chuck Berry]

Dude was great in Curb, but Ill always remember him for the Boku commericals

Went through the ringer with alcoholism. His brief cameo in Leaving Las Vegas was good too.

 

[Champomade]

Would you recommend Anything but Love? Always wanted to watch it

RIP Richard

 

[FoxMcChief]

Oh no!!!!!!

 

[EviLore]

RIP. When zoomers start to get old are they going to notice all their favorite TikTok influencers passing away?


“Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he’s been like a brother to me. He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.” -Larry David

 

[Trilobit]

One of my favourite scenes with Richard Lewis.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Laughing at yourself up until the bitter end is a sign of a true comedian.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Comedic Icon. RIP.


His last appearance on Curb talking about his will is something else.




"Oh my god. Fuck you!" lol
