RICHARD LEWIS CONSIDERS HIMSELF AN EXPERT ON HOW NOT TO LIVE

When he was most successful, in the 80’s and 90’s, Richard Lewis always had girlfriend problems and he was so neurotic he seemed doomed to remain single. But after he became sober he married his wife Joyce and they’ve been together for 11 years. They seem like a good match – Richard has always worn black and she wears black too. A few years ago, Richard wrote a book called “How Not to Live.” He’s been on Curb Your Enthusiasm every season pretty much as himself. Lewis met Larry David when they were both 13 at summer camp! We expect to see him in the upcoming season of the show. (Yep, it’s coming back)

RICHARD LEWIS: SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

We’ve always enjoyed frantic comedian Richard Lewis – loved his series Anything But Love, and recently, his appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm. At 65, he’s still wearing all black and has hair to run his hands through. Years ago we were shopping in Bloomingdale’s women’s shoe department and, as usual, asked the clerk if any celebrities had been shopping lately. The salesman said “As a matter of fact, a weird thing happened this morning. Richard Lewis showed up as soon as we opened and he paced around the department fretting and talking to himself for quite awhile. We almost called security but eventually he disappeared.” Strange story – but later we learned Richard had a drinking problem and went to rehab so that explains it. We think.
