Jerry Seinfeld honors Bob Einstein, who died this week, with loving, laugh-filled tribute
In Jerry Seinfeld's tribute to Bob Einstein, the comedian and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actor, who died Wednesday at 76, fittingly gets the last laugh, the first laugh and a lot of laughs in between.
Seinfeld Friday tweeted a five-minute-plus video – it's not safe for work or for younger children – that includes clips from Einstein's appearances on Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" in 2012 and 2017, along with a joint 2009 appearance on "Curb," the HBO comedy from "Seinfeld" producing alum Larry David. Einstein played David's argumentative friend Marty Funkhouser on the critically acclaimed series.
Comic master Seinfeld tweets the ultimate praise of Einstein: "We made this little tribute to one of our favorite people ever in the world of comedy, the one and only Bob Einstein."

Parenthetically, Seinfeld also acknowledges giving Einstein the fancy sports car that he teasingly offered to him during one of the "Comedians" episodes.
The clip has some hilarious moments and is a sweet way to remember a talented man in the language he loved: laughter.
