I’m glad his suffering is finally over but this breaks my heart. December is a cruel month to the L&S cast.

RIP, David.

This is sad to find out about, but at least his suffering is over.

R.I.P., David Lander. I enjoyed you a lot as Squiggy on L&S. The last time I saw a picture or video of him he looked okay.

Here’s a clip from “Entertainment Tonight”. I think it is from 2015.

I was getting ready to watch that Saturday Night Live sketch with the Quentin Tarantino version of "Welcome Back Kotter," just because of the brief appearance of Michael McKean and David Lander as Lenny and Squiggy. NBC has practically eliminated all videos of that. You can't even find it on the official SNL Website.



RIP.

Squiggy always made me laugh.

Very sad. May he rest in peace.

I just checked YouTube, and the sketch was nowhere to be found.
