When I was a kid, I'd watch Super Dave Osbourne on John Byner's Bizarre.  7-year old Mike loved the character, so I was delighted when I saw the actor, Bob Einstein, show up in Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development, two of my favourite comedies from the past decade.

Now here's a mind blowing fact for everyone...
