Fred Willard is DEAD TO ME

Awwwww.

Yet, Trump trucks on.

I kind of figured he was on his way out when I saw his last appearance on Modern Family. He looked like death walking then. RIP

Aw fuck

Sadly, Fred Willard did not make it to the Willard Scott centenarian mark.

He was great--anyone remember him in Spinal Tap?

He is the new comedy Space Force which comes out soon, he’s quite visibly frail in the brief shot of him in the trailer.

I'm finding it hard to believe he was 86. He never read as that old to me. I'll have whatever he was having to keep up that amount of energy.

Fred Willard appeared in nearly everything, because he was dependably entertaining.

Loved Fernwood. Mary Hartman spin off.

Wha happened?

He was hilarious in everything he did. He will be missed.

We'll need some coffee to go with that ride.

He was always on Kimmel. Loved him in all the mockumentaries.

i thought about that as well but actually his character was about to die. So i assumed they put make up on him to look like one. or maybe they have to.

I always thought he was Canadian. He gave off that vibe, if that makes any sense. But turns out, he was from Ohio.

Same with me I thought he was in his 70s.

Oh no!

I'm surprised. I thought he could stick it out.

Remember when he got caught wanking in the porn cinema?

^^ Yes, and if IIRC, PBS subsequently dumped him for a show/series he was going to do on that network.

I liked that Kimmel kept doing those corny sketches with Fred. It was old Hollywood showbiz schtick

He was one of a very few actors I *literally* loved everything I saw him in, from Fernwood to Best in Show, to The Closer. OMG, he was HILARIOUS in a Christmas episode of The Closer.

I love that he kept working right up to the end.

He'd show up in shows that you wouldn't expect to see him on like Stargate SG-1.

oh shit, he was a blast on Best in Show. One of the best comedic performances ever. RIP

R16 I also thought he was Canadian.

Fred Willard in 'Tragg's Trough':

he was memorable as the scheming used-car salesman on Mama's Family

"I'm surprised. I thought he could stick it out."

Stick what out? Eternity?

Here ya go.

A weirdo, pervert an sex fiend, best left forgotten to time.

No he wasn't R33. He's to be admired for his sexual stamina at his advanced age.

Shut up, r33.

Fred and Martin Mull were actually sort of handsome at one time

Didn't he have internet access?

You can’t get what he was looking for on the Internet.

Which is, R38?

Live dick, darling. r39

That's too bad, he was good in everything. He appeared recently in one of the last episodes of Modern Family. He did seem a bit slow and feeble though.

Goddammit.

RIP, sir.

I think he may be the only actor to have a live-action role in a Pixar film (WALL-E).

You can take the boy out of the priesthood...

You know, they eat dogs in China.

He was nice looking when he guest starred on The Golden Girls.

Has Martin Mull commented?

Fred was so perfect as Robert's deadpan, uptight father-in-law on Everybody Loves Raymond.

Does anyone remember his appearance on Saturday Night Live WAY, WAY back? There was a skit where he appeared in nothing but tight speedos , and God was he hot!

Loved Fred Willard as Martin Mull's sidekick, Jerry Hubbard, on the Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman spin-off, Fernwood 2Night:

Fred Willard was so great in 'Best in Show," one of the funniest movies ever:

Another guest star I’ve outlived, bitches!

Fred Willard

He worked constantly. His list of credit is extensive.

RIP
