Boy, this was a surprise.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/harry-anderson-%E2%80%98night-court%E2%80%99-star-dies-at-65/ar-AAvXs29?OCID=ansmsnnews11

I loved 'Night Court' back in the day, but my favorite role of his was his occasional appearances on 'Cheers' as "Harry the Hat".

Godspeed, funny man.

Yeah, I was very bummed to hear this last night. "Night Court" was one of my favorite shows growing up. I catch a re-run every now and again on "Laff" (or whichever retro-rerun channel currently shows it) and it's still funny!

I used to tape "Night Court" every week and re-watch the episodes till I knew all the gags by heart.

Everyone in the cast was great, but Harry was the glue that held it all together.

Sad to hear. I was a big fan of Night Court as well and try catching it when I can. And let's not forget his appearance as the adult Richie on the original tv version of It.

Very sad to hear about this. I try to catch re-runs when I can. I didn't know he was living in Asheville,NC until I read it. Not too far from where I live. RIP Judge Stone.

From John ("Dan Fielding") Larroquette's Twitter:

"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 never really watched Night Court except on occasion, but I do remember him as one of the Tales from the Crypt actors back in the day.

I remember seeing him doing standup and he was a funny man.

That's right, I just re-visited that mini-series within the past year or so.

Marsha "Roz the Bailiff" Warfield posted this on FB:

"When we were shooting Night Court, Harry lived in Seattle, so he would be without his family during the week. I visited and had dinner with him there when I worked in town, and he came over for dinner with me in L.A.

So, one day on set he said he needed a "date" for a concert he had tickets to, and asked me if I wanted to go. I said sure. Since it was at the Pasadena Civic Center we had to get all dressed up, so we did. We had a great time and after the show we went backstage and hung out for a bit.

And that's how I got to see Mel Torme In concert.

I dont know what was more fun, watching Mel perform, or watching Harry watch Mel Torme perform.

That's why I say I've got the best Harry Anderson story ever.

Hands down, no contest.

The time I gave him a penis tie for his birthday is a close second. He actually wore it on the show. With his robe on or jacket buttoned, nobody was the wiser."

Late to this thread but:

I used to watch Night Court with my family as a child and now own all the DVDs. This came as a shock when I heard on the radio. I recently watched Cheers and got to see him as Harry The Hat.

Found this very interesting article on him:

There was much more to the man than most of us ever knew!
