RIP Fred Willard (1939 - 2020)

Comic actor Fred Willard passed away yesterday.



Willard's career spanned over 50 years. Appearing in movies and shows such as Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, For Your Consideration, A Mighty Wind, This Is Spinal Tap, Anchorman, Austin Powers, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Fernwood 2 Night, New Girl, Community, Modern Family, and too many cartoons, late-night TV shows, game shows, commercials, as well as too offbeat comedies to mention including the upcoming Netflix satire Space Force.


Fred Willard made a few appearances with the Muppets and the Henson company over the years as well including a cameo appearance on Muppets Tonight, a "Happy Healthy Monsters Network" announcer in Sesame Street's Happy Healthy Monsters, and in the in the pilot for the Henson Company's puppet talk show, Late Night Buffet.
