    I loved his deadpan Super Dave character when I was a kid - It was can't miss TV for me when he was on Carson.

    Sad. Watched the short-lived Super Dave cartoon as a kid. He had a nice, small role in the prime of Arrested Development, too.

    This sucks. Sad to hear he had leukemia.

    And I never got to visit The Super Dave Compound and meet Dave and Fuji. :(

    As a fan of the LeBatard show this makes me sad.

    When I was a kid in the 80's, there was a show on (I believe on Channel 39) called "Bizarre". The show itself was ok but I only watched because of a skit called Super Dave Osborne. I'd record it on VHS tapes just in case a new one came on. My brothers and I ... we thought it was hysterical. "Genuine Saskatchewan Sealskin binding" became a running joke for us for years. We definitely shared a lot of memories about that yesterday.

    RIP and thank you for all the laughter.

    Yep, it came on at 10:30...right after The Benny Hill Show. Both shows occasionally showed boobies. Never understood how that could happen on regular TV, but I didn't complain.

    I only remember him as Super Dave on Bizarre. He had such a deadpan delivery. Those bits were always so funny.

    RIP.
