The first time I saw him, he did a monologue about going on a bus with a bunch of brooms...posing as a salesman.
Talented gentleman. Thanks for the laughs!!.

Seventy-eight? How did that happen. . .(Still, no doubt; seventy-eight years young.) Peace to David; his family and all near and dear, who will miss him.

I remember when he did a Tonight Show routine about visiting a Post Office and seeing a sign that said, “No dogs allowed except for seeing eye dogs” and then asking, “Who was that sign for?”

I remember him when Johnny was host. He was pretty funny guy and pretty clean for a comic.
RIP, thanks for the laughs

Very funny man.
I was the class clown and watching him in the mid-70s almost made me choose standup comedy as a career.
Crippling stage fright kept me from pursuing it, but he was the main person who inspired me to seriously consider comedy as a profession.
RIP, Mr. Brenner. Godspeed.

Mr. Brenner was from my neck of the woods. Remembering his comedy when I was growing up. I didn’t know he was 78 years old.
Rest in peace, David Brenner.

A very funny man... I’m getting old.

He was on the very short list of Johnny Carson’s replacements
when Johnny retired but was considered too ethnic.

Odd coincidence that he was mentioned on a rerun of Modern Family aired tonight at 8:30 on USA. R.I.P. David.

I asked EXACTLY the same question!
He was a naturally funny fellow- always enjoyed him.
