Really sad, enjoyed him of course in both Night Court, and Dave's World, and Cheers. And Stephen King's IT.

I haven't seen it, but it's on my long to watch list, he is in the 1982 film The Escape Artist, not sure how big his part is.

Have you seen the IT remake recently?

Yes, multiple times. Though the miniseries is closer to the book, I prefer the theatrical version.

You've never seen The Escape Artist?

Which of those shows do you prefer?

And why do you prefer the remake over the original version of It?

Cheers is my favorite, but of the two that starred Harry I'd say Night Court because Harry got to be himself more so than Dave's World.

For IT, Tim Curry's Pennywise is too over the top and silly, and I don't like the awful CGI spider thing they fight at the end. The cast for the kids and their adult versions I thought were good.

My heart started racing really fast when I found out and started to cry when the news was true.

Wonder if either Laff or somebody else will honor him.

John Larroquette just made another statement.

Harry Anderson. He was wicked smart. He was wicked funny. He had a big laugh. He had a big heart. He delighted in legerdemain especially when he caused someone to scratch their head and proclaim; How the hell did you do that? And he could eat a hamster like no one I ever knew.

Markie, Charlie, Marsha, Richard, me and the N.C. gang were on a carnival fun ride with Harry. It was a blast. Out in the cosmos tonight, with his fedora at a rakish angle and a 'Watch this' wink to us, he’s coaxing whoever might be out there with him; Pick a card. Any card.

I hope Laff does the tribute. Or Encore Classic if they still have the rights.

My hope is Encore Classic because they never edited the episodes and used the NBC prints.

Have you all seen Marsha's Facebook video. It's so sad.

She found out while out shopping for groceries and broke down in her car about his death. She's really hurting.

Encore Classic I believe doesn't have the rights anymore. But it is awesome though that they used the original prints as originally aired on NBC.

Stroke is the cause of death.
