Oh my..good old Maude Frickert. He was such a funny guy. And I heard he was a lovely and sweet man too. He was very generous to up and coming comedians. Bless his wonderful, giving heart.

This makes me sad. He was, also, one of the first comedians to discuss his mental illness. RIP funny man.

But…but…but…he's supposed to be aging backwards. He should only be 24 right now.

Seems like a lot of old timers in their 80s are cashing in their chips lately.

I don't know who this guy was, but according to the pic and the comments, he seemed a nice guy.
The bad part is that he inspired Robin Williams and, even worse, jim carrey.RIP. I suppose the good things overcome the bad ones in this guy's life.

Jerry Lewis is my all time favorite comedian. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but has been mine since I was a kid (over 40 yrs…YIKESSSSSS!!!). He just turned 87 on March 16th…PLZ stick around for a bit longer Jerry…seems all the legends are leaving us

YoMismo Winters was 5 million times more talented than either of those 2 guys.

My grandfather was a doctor and loved to tell the story of his hospital stay 30+ years ago. The nurse had asked for a urine sample. When she left the room, he poured the leftover apple juice served from his meal into the cup. When she came to pick it up he said he wasn't finished with it and drank it in front of her. My grandfather laughed every time he told that story. The hospital staff thought it was hilarious.

@Jane. Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams were just golden. They could have pushed Mindy and her Dad right out the door and no one would have noticed.

Damn. He was such a talented guy! And you never heard bad words about him from other comedians either (unlike the others mentioned.)

Sad. My Dad was a huge fan of his also and we used to watch his movies together. My favorite was Viva Max (very rare, not even on DVD).
