His younger brother is comedian and writer Albert Brooks (born Albert Lawrence Einstein), and his older brother, Cliff Einstein, is a retired advertising executive in Los Angeles. Einstein got his start writing for ''The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour'' for which he won an Emmy Award. The writing team also included Steve Martin and Murray Roman.〔http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/11/the-forgotten-m.html〕 He also appeared on the show as Officer Judy. His Super Dave Osborne character first made an appearance on ''The John Byner Comedy Hour'', a 1972 TV series, was a regular on the 1980 TV series ''Bizarre'', and was a frequent guest on ''Late Night with David Letterman''. In 1987, Einstein got his own variety show named ''Super Dave'', which ran from 1987 to 1991 on the Global Television Network in Canada (where the show was produced at the network's Toronto studio) and Showtime in the U.S.. In 1992, an animated series ''Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire'' aired on Fox. Einstein later extended the "Super Dave" franchise by starring in the 2000 movie, ''The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave''. Following his Super Dave success, he had recurring roles as Marty Funkhouser in ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'' and Larry Middleman in the third season of ''Arrested Development''. He was also featured on the Comedy Central show ''Crank Yankers'' as obnoxious district selectman Tony Deloge. Einstein was also on ''The Man Show'' where he did ''Century Club'' with Adam and Jimmy. In ''Ocean's Thirteen'' he played Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon)'s father Robert 'Bobby' Caldwell, a master robber and con artist whose day job is as an FBI agent. On the November 12, 2009, edition of TNA Impact!, he was the booker of the night. He has made a four-episode sketch series ''Super Dave's Spike Tacular'' on Spike TV, reprising his ''Super Dave'' character, once again engaging in outrageous stunts. Einstein appeared on the second season of ''Anger Management'' as Charlie Goodson's very angry neighbor, and his character in the show instantly got an unflattering nickname based on a feminine hygiene product. Einstein has voiced two characters from ''The Life & Times of Tim'', playing the Elephant Trainer in ''Tim & the Elephant'' in the second season, and the bookie in ''Pray for the Jets'' in the third.〔(IMDb entry for Nagging Blonde/Tim and the Elephant )〕〔(IMDb entry for The Well Dressed Snitch/Pray for the Jets )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Einstein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
