David Brenner (1936-2014), Legendary Comedian and Frequent Johnny Carson Guest

David Brenner

Comedian David Brenner died on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at his home in New York City at the age of 78. Appearing on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson over 150 times, David rose to fame during the 1970s with his regular “daily life” style of comedy, a style to which he boiled down as “the dumb things that we say and do.”

Rest In Peace David.
