Martin Mull is dead to me

Aww. I remember him being one if the first gay characters on TV in Roseanne. Loved him in Clue too.

Jimmy finally left that apartment.

Has Roseanne commented yet?

Fernwood Tonight!

Fucking hilarious on Mary Hartman and Fernwood 2Night.

He was a successful stand-up comic before he got his big break with Fernwood Tonight. He released a couple of albums.

I loved this song he did with Melissa Manchester (whom he opened for many times)

I hate to be that guy, but I thought he was already dead.

Another icon from my childhood gone. :( He was a funny man.

RIP, Mr. Mull.

Dropped dead while watching Biden’s debate performance.

When I saw he had died, this was the first thing I thought of.

I remember him (modestly) nude in Creme magazine. Loved him with Fred Willard, and in the movie 'Serial'.

R9 stop stop they’re both already dead

Gene Parmesan!!

Had no idea he was eighty, looked very good for his age.

Such a shame. He was old enough to run for president.

Why, God? Why’d you have to take him and leave Roseanne?

That’s too bad. He wrote a song about Margie the midget and how they’d walk down the street hand in ankle. Well he probably hadn’t sung that one in a while. Forgot he graduated from RISD.

I honestly don't know anyone who didn't enjoy Martin Mull.

Even as a child, I liked him on the subversive "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman".

Imagine Jessica Walter’s reaction when she sees him in the afterlife.

I remember him from Mary Hartman and Fernwood Tonight although I was too young at the time to appreciate that type of humor

Oh no...he was delightful. Why couldn't it have been Roseanne?

He was certainly no slave to fashion.

So now he is mull and void

I always confused him with Howard Hesseman for some reason. I think probably because they were both popular in the 70s and played similar type characters. Howard passed away in 2022. RIP.

r24 - It's the alliteration: HH and MM. It's confusing.

Has the Hawaiian Trumpnoceros vomited 🤮 up a statement?

R26 - Oh hon, it's far too early in the evening for you to be that drunk.

Yes R6 is right - he was actually a very popular stand-up comedian in the 70's. Can't remember why now because his skits seem so tame today - but he was a big name in the 70's.

Roseanne was a comeback.

Rest in Peace, Martin Mull.

He was an accomplished painter. I loved him as sleazy Arizona sweatshop owner Pat Coletti in Altman’s OC and Stiggs. He was so believable in Serial.

This is WAR, Peacock!

Was he related to Richard Moll?

History of White People In America VHS Brennan, Eileen (Actor), Martin, Steve (Actor)...ore

is a made-for-TV mockumentary movie, first broadcast in 1985 on HBO. It is hosted by Martin Mull, starring Fred Willard, Mary Kay Place, and Edie McClurg. It was directed by Harry Shearer. It is done in the style of documentaries about minorities in the United States. The focus is a family of empty-headed white people clueless about the complexities of the world around them.

I only know him from The Jackie Thomas Show

This should never have happened,

Leon was such a Datalounger. RIP Martin Mull.

He was great in Mr. Mom. A great comedic character actor. Sadly we are running out of those.

I remember him being an excellent drawer on Win, Lose, or Draw.

Well, there goes another cast member of the brilliant cult movie CLUE. Hope he gets joke around with Eileen, Tim, and Madeline now.

It's funny cos he looked Old in that GG episode.

R39, Tim? Tim Curry is alive.

I really hoped he could have reprised his role as Leon on The Conners, even for just an episode.

r41 - Wait.

R42, he still could. His acting would be better than the vast majority of that current cast.

When he began on 'Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman' he played Garth Gimble, a reprehensible character who battered his wife and terrorized his son. He was killed off by his wife pushing him into the closet where the artificial Christmas tree was, and he was impaled on the metal rods and died. She didn't mean to kill him, but was charged with his murder and then escaped from jail and ran off with a family of gypsies.

Mull was so popular, even playing that character, so it was a bit baffling when he returned at the end of MHMH, setting his character up as twin brother Barth Gimble, who was smarmy but not apparently not violent.

Predictions for the next two celebrity deaths-Estelle Parsons and Roseanne Barr

To quote Dan Savage, "Not the obituary I wanted to read today".

R47 - I would think that would be my own.

His ass in the Creem magazine centerfold has lived in my mind for 50 years. I was both embarrassed and intrigued. It was a different time and I’d never seen anything like that. And I used to record Win Lose or Draw just to see how quick and skillful he was. RIP.

I know he was in a billion and one things including Fernwood but I think I remember him most from Roseanne.

And that reminds me that Fred Willard, his Roseanne husband, is also gone. Damn.

Such a sturdy character actor. He was perfect in Mr. Mom. I hope the Roseanne money gave him a comfortable lifestyle.

I had a crush on him in the late 70s/early 80s. He aged nicely and looked cute with glasses.

RIP

[quote]I remember him mostly from Sabrina the teenage witch

[quote]I always confused him with Howard Hesseman for some reason.

As a kid in the '90s, I confused him with William Daniels and thought it was so cool that Mr. Feeney was on both BOY MEETS WORLD and SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH. 😂

Great actor and personality. RIP.

In SERIAL, he played DL icon Tuesday Weld’s husband.

Really, there is no higher honor.

It was Miss Scarlet in the lounge with the lead pipe!

This is WAR, PEACOCK!

My sister and I warched Clue tonight, in his honor. I have Mr. Mom set up for tomorrow.

Jimmy the hippie shut-in on Golden Girls

He went to RISD and had a following of fellow students who thought he was brilliant, including Gus Van Sant. He’s talked about Mull in interviews before.

Claudia Lamb, who played Mary Hartman's daughter, shared stories of him yesterday on Twitter. She adored him.

He played in a couple of episodes of Two and a Half Men as Charlie's self-medicating pharmacist with a fondness for his own prescriptions.

I've always liked Mull and Fred Willard. But the Roseanne shit was an insult. I love Mull in "Clue", and just about everything else he did, however.

I’m always surprised when someone I think is my age turns out to be a lot older than I am. I’m Gen Jones.

Martin Mull and Fred Willard were hilarious on Fernwood 2 Night.

One episode of Fernwood 2-Night involved a guy getting a speeding ticket in Fernwood. When the mayor found out he was Jewish he offered to not give him the ticket if he appeared on the show in a phone segment called "Ask-A-Jew," since Fernwood didn't have any.

A caller asked, "Do you know when the next Barbra Streisand movie is coming out?"

He was sort of hot in his middle age years.

I would have gladly been a sandwich between him and Johnny Fever.

He was hot as Pat Coletti in the OC and Stiggs movie.

[quote]I always confused him with Howard Hesseman for some reason.

Martin Mull played the "Dr. Johnny Fever" counterpart in the movie "F.M.", which may have inspired "WKRP in Cincinnati".
