RIP Fred Willard
 

Always liked his roles from Everybody Loves Raymond to American Wedding to Modern Family.

RIP Fred

He was hilarious in Anchorman

RIP. Didn’t realize he was almost 90.

And he was still working!

Damn didn't know he was that old RIP funny fellow.

This one really sucks. If you're funny enough you should be allowed to live forever

Oh wow, RIP... such a hilarious guy, absolutely loved him in all the Christopher Guest movies like Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman etc

He could read the phone book and crack me up

:( I haz teh sadness.

Legendary funny man.

RIP Fred - you are missed.

First was Flop, now Fred.

The world is a little less funny now. RIP

So he was about 66 when Best in Show came out? He looked at least 20 years younger than that. I was shocked at how much older he looked in the trailer for Space Force, a show coming out in a week or so

Waiting for Guffman is our favorite of his movies, but he kinda plays a lot of similar roles. Rip.

My kids knew who he was too. He was in a lot of kids shows. Great career.

Fernwood Tonight. Yes, I am old.

Who?

Thats what we say about you.

I bought an Isuzu because of his commercials

Its a real shame they eat these dogs in other countries

Best in Show was hilarious and Willard did such a great, great job spoofing the dog show commentators

He aged real fast after his wife died in 2018. He didn’t look good at all in his last appearance on Modern Family where ironically his character died.

Most of you are too young to remember Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Another show so far ahead of it's time like Soap.

He got his start on TV with Martin Mull on the spin-off Fernwood 2Night

Fittingly his character died

Ironically would be if he was doing well on the highlander reboot

I was going for the Alanis Morissette definition.

Seriously though, I’m disappointed in myself, I’m usually better than that. i should have gone with “coincidentally”.

first laughed hard at him on the late 70s show Fernwood 2 night opposite martin mull... rip jerry

this from his imdb bio:

Was fired by PBS after he was arrested for alleged lewd conduct at an adult movie theater [July 19, 2012

Holy Crap, learn something new every day. The coverage had me watching old clips, noticed this little tidbit over Chris Parnell's should in Anchorman

Loved him on Fernwood tonight. Imo his best work

Funny dude. I haven't seen much of his work but I'll always remember his "bring me some fresh diarrhea" scene in Harold and Kumar. That shit was funny. I never would have guessed he was 86, he seemed younger. RIP.

When I saw the 1976 movie Silver Streak with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in the theater, I thought it was so funny I went twice. I remember Fred had a great role. It's a wasn't a big part, but he was very fuuny. Here's a small clip of that him in the movie.

The first time I noticed Fred was in 1969 when he was in the improv group The Ace Trucking Company which was a regular guest on the Tom Jones Show. Here's a clip of Ace Trucking Co from 1974.

Father Guido

probably correct. ****ing the covid thread where people were arguing for pages about english was the cross thread reference I was trying to get across as well

AP?

RIP
