Super Dave Osborne, self-described as the greatest daredevil superstar entertainer of all time, makes his triumphant television return in Spike TV's "Super Dave's Spike-Tacular" premiering Saturday, November 14 at 11 p.m. The half-hour, four-week special event will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m., beginning on November 17 and stars Emmy award-winner, Bob Einstein, as Super Dave, as he prepares for a weekly death-defying stunt.

"I was a little hesitant about coming back and risking my life each week, but the only other offer I had was 'Super & Kate Plus 8,'" said Einstein.

Each week, Super Dave will tackle a terrifying stunt that puts his life on the line and pushes him to the limits. The stunts include attempting to break the NASCAR speed record on a track loaded with explosives, breaking the speed record in the Guinness Book of World Records for a hybrid vehicle, challenging the world's six greatest paintball players and stepping into the Octagon with former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Plus, Super Dave will be visited by several surprise guest-stars throughout the season including Larry David, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jose Canseco, among others.

At Superdave.spike.com, fans will be able to check-out clips from the show highlighting Super Dave's greatest feats, his weekly joke of the day, as well as the "Spiketacular" celebrity cameos.

Einstein's "Super Dave" series originally ran on Showtime for five years. He spun off the character into the series," "Super Dave's Vegas Spectacular" and "Super Dave's All Stars" as well as the animated series, "Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire." He also starred in the feature film The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave.

I remember watching the animated series as a kid.
Never got to see him in action. But from his works in CYE and his short cameo in Ocean's I cannot wait to see him go back to his old roots.

This used to be funny as hell. I remember seeing him do all that stuff LONG before some cartoon I guess he had. He's old and a great actor in his own right, but damn I need me Super Dave!

his old showtime series was great because it was a spoof. Every episode he was wounded beyond mortality and was taken away in an ambulance, or left smashed into the ground as the credits rolled. Are they going to actually have him to real stunts this time? Either way, I am a fan of Super Dave. He's awesome on Arrested Development!

Hell yea! I used to watch the original show with my parents when I was a kid.

Fun Fact: His brother is actor Albert Brooks who has lent his voice to various films such as Finding Nemo (Marlin) and Dr. Dolittle (Jacob the tiger). Brooks' real surname is Einstein, but was changed earlier in his career to avoid any unnecessary harrassment and press because of the shared name with the worldwide known theoretical physicist.

This is amazing, because I just finished getting my Super Dave Halloween costume together, and then I read this. It's fate!
