A spokesman for the family of comedian David Brenner says the "Tonight Show" favorite has died. He was 78.
Brenner died Saturday afternoon at his home in New York City, said Jeff Abraham, who was Brenner's publicist.
The gangly, toothy Brenner made more than 150 appearances as a guest and substitute host on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show," starting in the 1970s.

One of my favorite lines of his - The first time I went to LA, I saw a NY steak on the menu. In NY, there is no such thing as a NY steak so I asked the waiter, “What’s a NY steak? A piece of meat with dirt on it?!!”
Thanks for the laughs, David. Many laughs.

From a link further down on the source page:
Some form of cancer
Had no idea he was that much older .. in the 70s, he seemed like one of the guys who'd just graduated a year or two ahead of me.
