RIP, Harry. I liked Night Court. :(
:(
RIP Harry.
Damn! That's too bad. I liked that show. R.I.P. Harry.
Too young! Night Court was awesome. :(
RIP.
Jeez another one. Terrible. RIP. Definitely too young 😪
I loved Night Court. RIP. :(
Crap. RIP Harry. Thanks for all of the laughs.
Man this has been a shit week so far...
Yeah the only thing worse now would be if Roseanne went back on TV.
I found the old Night Court episodes online and have watched the first couple. I'd forgotten how funny the show is, and it stands up well even today. I LOL'd several times at the first two episodes. Can't wait to get time to watch the rest of it.
I remember Harry doing cameos on Cheers, and I think his character name was the same, but can't remember if Cheers came before Night Court or the other way around. He always seemed to play a magician and/or con man type of character, or integrated those characteristics into his character in some way. His comedic skills will be missed though I don't know that he's done anything recently - will have to check his filmography out at some point.
Crap. RIP Harry.
Hell, 30 Rock has an episode called "The One With The Cast From Night Court" or something along those lines. I'll have to re-start watching 30 Rock, I'd not gotten too far into it.
QuoteAnderson told the Herald that he landed the Night Court gig after producers saw him on Cheers.
"I guess they figured I was an actor," he said. "I never auditioned for anything. I had the scripts next to me behind the bench. They named the character Harry so I'd remember to react when someone said my name. By the time they figured out that I couldn't act scared on the subway at 4 a.m., I already had a five-year contract."

Hard to believe that was 10 years ago
QuoteIn 2008, Anderson played himself on 30 Rock as part of a Night Court reunion of sorts alongside former co-stars Markie Post and Charles Robinson.
10 years? Damn. I didn't watch 30 Rock back in the day, but I watched a few episodes on Netflix. Good show, just haven't had time to really binge it.
Funny how Harry got into acting - I didn't know that story about him just falling into it like that. You just never know what can happen unless you try.
This is a good read about him - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/harry-anderson-dead-night-court-actor-was-65-1103243

You said it. :(
A friend who is into magic said that Harry had a really bad time after Hurricane Katrina.
He had loved his magic shop in New Orleans and when it was ruined he sank into a deep depression.
Have to admit it sounds awesome to shop there. Can you imagine going into a store and being approached by Harry the Hat?
He lived in Asheville for many years and loved arcade games and pinball.
