I struggle to think of a character in a series that me laugh more than Arthur Spooner. Such a fun character and most of it was down to Jerry Stiller's delivery. RIP

first Sam Lloyd, now Jerry Stiller. Sigh.

Aw man, that sucks. I've always loved his work, especially his stint on Seinfeld.

Still one of the funniest things ever, and it's all in his delivery.

Yup...as brilliant as he was on Seinfeld, the Spooner character was even better.

What a talent. RIP

His name should have been Jerry Stealer because he stole virtually every scene in his career.
A great talent. RIP

That's too bad. His characters were always really fun to watch. Was I the only one who didn't know he was Ben Stillers dad?

Hes off awarding water-piks in heaven now.

The airing of grievances around the festivus pole just wont be the same without him.

Love that, and the look Jerry makes when Frank says “I lost my train of thought”

If I see age 92 with good health and have led a fulfilled life, I’ll be happy.

R.I.P., Jerry. We’ll miss you.

He was absolutely amazing. Loved that he and his wife were in so many acts together.


RIP Jerry.
