To me, historically, he was the godfather of hip, observational comedy,” comedian Richard Lewis said in a statement. “He mentored me from day one. ... His passing leaves a hole in my life that can never be replaced.”</P> <P>The tall, thin and always sharply dressed Brenner became one of the most frequent visitors to Johnny Carson’s “Tonight” in the 1970s and ‘80s.</P> <P>His 150-plus appearances as guest and substitute host turned the former documentary filmmaker into a hot comedian, one who was ubiquitous on other talk shows and game shows.</P> <P>He also briefly hosted his own syndicated talk show in 1987 and starred in four HBO specials.</P> <P>Brenner moved with the times, trading routines about the humor of everyday life for jokes about social and political issues, and appearing on MSNBC and Fox News Channel cable programs.</P> <P>Although his career faltered, he worked steadily through 2013 doing standup. A four-day gig last December included a New Year’s Eve show at a Pennsylvania casino-resort in which he showcased young comedians.</P> <P>Brenner, who was raised in working-class south Philadelphia and graduated with honors from Temple University, was “always there helping a bright young comedian, whether it be Richard Lewis, Freddie Prinze or Jimmie Walker, and he was still doing it until the very end,” Abraham said.</P> <P>In a statement, Walker called Brenner “a true comic genius” who was “my mentor and taught me about life and comedy.”</P> <P>Although Brenner took a brief stabs at TV fame, with the 1976 sitcom “Snip” and the talk show “Nightlife” he hosted in 1987, he didn’t achieve the success of Seinfeld’s self-titled NBC sitcom or Reiser’s “Mad About You,” and he saw Jay Leno follow Carson as “Tonight” host.</P> <P>Brenner’s take on his career path, as he described it in a 2000 interview with The Associated Press, was that he put family before stardom.</P> <P>He said a long custody battle with a girlfriend over their son, Cole, forced him to curtail his TV appearances and visibility beginning in the mid-1980s, when Brenner lived in Aspen, Colo.</P> <P>“In a nutshell, I couldn’t work more than 50 nights a year (out of town) or I’d be an absentee father,” he said. “That was when they were giving out the talk shows, the sitcoms.”</P> <P>He was asked if he regretted his decision.</P> <P>“I didn’t even make a decision. I didn’t even think about it. How could you not do it? I don’t mean to sound noble,” Brenner said. “Besides, I come from the slums of Philadelphia and everything in my life is profit. My downside is what most people would strive a lifetime to get to.”</P> <P>Decades ago, he had burned out on filmmaking — “You don’t change the world by doing documentaries,” he told “CBS This Morning” in 2013 — and decided to give comedy a try. He was on the verge of quitting when his effort to impress talent bookers at “Tonight” worked.</P> <P>His career soared after his first appearance in January 1971. He went from being nearly broke to overwhelmed by a then-hefty $10,000 in job offers the day after he was on the show.</P> <P>“I never thought this was going to turn my life upside down and give me my whole future,” he told “This Morning.”</P> <P>He also recalled how hard Carson made him work on “Tonight,” asking Brenner to do a monologue each time he appeared. Other veteran comics headed straight for the couch to banter with the host.</P> <P>Carson’s explanation was “I like to sit back, smoke a cigarette and laugh for six minutes,” Brenner recalled.</P> <P>In a 1995 interview with the AP, Brenner imagined a different path with “Tonight.”</P> <P>“I really believe that had ... Johnny Carson retired in the early ‘80s, then I would be sitting behind that desk,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any doubt.”</P> <P>Brenner wrote five books, including the post-9/11 “I Think There’s a Terrorist in My Soup,” published in 2003. His last HBO special, “David Brenner: Back with a Vengeance,” debuted live in 2000.</P> <P>In a statement, his family said he left a last laugh: A final request that $100 in small bills be placed in his left sock “just in case tipping is recommended where I’m going.”</P> <P>Besides son Cole, Brenner is survived by his wife, Ruth, sons Wyatt and Slade and a grandson, Wesley. Funeral plans were not immediately announced.</P> <P>Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
