Court Adjourned
April 16, 2018 5:48 PM   Subscribe

Actor and Magician Harry Anderson has passed away at his home at age 65.

Anderson frequently brought his blend of comedy and slight-of-hand to his many television roles as well as his stand-up. He was perhaps best known for his starring role as the wisecracking Judge Harold "Harry" T. Stone on NBC's Night Court, Anderson also played a fictionalized version of humor columnist Dave Barry in Dave's World, as well as recurring character con-man Harry The Hat from Cheers. In one of his first television appearances on The 6th Annual Young Comedians, he described himself as a liar, a cheat, a braggart, and a thief, but would you trust someone like that to describe themselves accurately?

So many memories of Harry, specifically from Night Court. I was probably a bit too young to be watching him, but I did anyways b/c there was something slightly dirty/naughty about the show and my pre-teen mind gravitated to those things. A great comedian/actor, he'll truly be missed.

Back when grifters were lovable. "Hello, Sucker!" is a classic. In some ways he was a bridge between old timey acts and what comedy became. He will be missed.

Night Court was really, really great, and a lot of that was down to Harry (and Larroquette, and most often the play between them).

So young, too.

I have fond memories of watching Night Court back in the 80s. I recently rewatched it and found it uncomfortably sexist and kind of gross. It hasn't aged well. But that's mostly down to the writing. Harry Anderson's performance in the show remains a joyful, exuberant, and whimsical take on questionable material. Laroquette is still great as well, though Dan Fielding is a despicable character. Actually the whole cast is great, in the way they commit to that material and give it everything they've got. 65 isn't young, but I can't imagine Harry Anderson looking any older than the way I remember him in Night Court, so it still feels like he's gone too soon.

Night Court had an amazing opening theme and a strong ensemble, even as people rotated in and out. A lot of it was the strength of Anderson, Laroquette, and Charles Robinson in their performances, but there were also some great walk-ons.

Brent Spiner's first appearance as the head of a sad-sack family who have had the worst things in the world happen to them repeatedly, and Anderson's continued decline as the story goes on is one of my favorite character moments in the show. (Also strong: any guest appearance by John Astin as Harry's dad, their chemistry was great.)

Brent Spiner's first appearance as the head of a sad-sack family who have had the worst things in the world happen to them repeatedly, and Anderson's continued decline as the story goes on is one of my favorite character moments in the show.

The show was very well aware of how Brent Spiner got his big break, and honored him in the typical Night Court Way.

Every recurring character is portrayed by an actor that was far too good for '80s television. The huge bailiff, "Bull Shannon" is Richard Moll, who then went on to lend his voice to Harvey Dent in the Batman Animated series.

Anderson anchored the show, a charismatic center to the wheeling chaos of Christine, Dan, Mac, Roz and Bull and an evernew docket of doofus defendants. It was one of those shows that was aspirational, showing us what society could and should look like, rather than portraying it like it actually was. Whether this is helpful or hurtful is up in the air, but I tend to land on the side of "helping."

It wouldn't surprise me if he was problematic in his off-stage persona, but on-stage, wow.

Like so many here, loved Night Court as a kid (still one of the best 80s TV themes EVER). And as a not particularly squeamish kid (at least when it came to gruesome images on the screen), I loved magic tricks like the needle through the arm. I still remember one of his jokes from a TV special that made me laugh hysterically when I was little. The set up was something about having holes in his pants pockets; he's reaching into one, really digging deep into the crotch area, and then all of a sudden he gets a quizzical look on his face and says, "I don't remember buying any plums?"

RIP Judge Harry.

I am very, very curious to hear what maxsparber has to say, because I've been scrolling through the Harry Anderson tweets on twitter and people seem to have generally had fond and positive memories of the man. I don't see anything negative coming out.

On April 8th, Markie Post tweeted, in response to someone who told her they'd binge watched some Night Court, "I think BECAUSE it was so much fun to shoot, it made it that much more fun to watch. We all really liked each other."

Her tweet regarding Anderson's death is: "I am devastated. I’ll talk about you later, Harry, but for now, I’m devastated."

A quick scroll down Post's twitter page gives me a sense of a positive, upbeat sort of person who wants Trump prosecuted and removed from office, supports universal healthcare, action on climate change, and proportional taxation, and retweets and enthusiastically affirms her friend Marsha Warfield's tweets about racial injustice. So, you know, I tend to think her perspective might be a realistic one.

Marsha Warfield retweeted Markie's "devastated" tweet with a "Me too, Markie.", and then tweeted,Rest in peace, Harry. We miss you already. I tip my hat to you, my friend.

This, absolutely this. Roz was such a rock and one of my favorite characters. Christine was someone you just wanted to root for, a person who tried to be a good human despite her surroundings. And both characters were played so expertly. “Don’t mess with Roz.”

I watched "Hello Sucker" every time it aired on Showtime (no VCR then) and was mesmerized every time. I was really fascinated by the "Needle through the Arm," AKA the Geek trick. I couldn't figure it out, and finally ordered one from Tannen's. And still couldn't do it! The trick normally has you put the needle in away from the audience, then reveal the pierced arm. Harry just shoved that needle right through his arm, facing the audience!

It was many years later I learned his trick: take the footage of removing the needle, edit it into the show in reverse. That was easier.

Someone called in to a radio show to complain, saying he couldn't do it like Harry did it. Harry told him he bought the wrong trick, he bought the "stage" version, he needed the "TV" version.

Night Court was the best as a kid (I definitely appreciate now the ways it was problematic, and don’t mean to dismiss them). It’s also a really well done postage stamp of 1980s New York only veering slightly into caricature.

And yes, all the characters were fully flushed out, with flaws and endearing traits both. All had their own character arcs. Above all I appreciated that Judge Stone never held himself as above anybody.

As a kid growing up in PG County, Maryland, then Austin, TX (before it become OMFG! FUCKING AUSTIN!) in the late 1980s, "Night Court" to me was cooler than cool, badder-than-badass, New York Fuckin City. The show was just awesome to my 11-14 year old self. Years later, I'd graduate college, get a job in that big bad city (in the late 1990s), and live in Brooklyn (also before it became OMFG! FUCKING BROOKLYN — you see, I have a tendency to be in the right place at the wrong time). The charm wore off, NYC broke me down (in retrospect, it was me being in a bad place personally, and not the greatness that is NYC). So I left for Baltimore, where I still live today. (And I still say it's poised to be the next Portland/Austin/Brooklyn. I'll fight you on this. However, I may need to move out from here before it happened, because — as I said — right place, wrong time.)

Still, any time I come across a "Night Court" episode, I watch, and I enjoy a certain magic, an NYC that doesn't exist anymore, and a youth and idealism that's also long gone.

Godspeed, Harry, and thanks for all the laughs.

About half of my sense of humor came from Harry on Night Court. (The other half came from Andy Kaufmann and Christopher Lloyd on "Taxi", so Harry's was the half that people actually laughed at.)

"But I'm feeling much better now!"

I’m another fan of Night Court who watched it religiously as a kid, and who also had a crush on Harry. The show worked so well! I haven’t revisited and I guess it may not have aged well, but in the moment I enjoyed it so much.

I think I’ve heard he had his jerk qualities but I only know him from tv and he was a big part of my childhood that I remember fondly.

I saw him do the Geek Trick on SNL when I was probably 12 and followed him all through the years after that. He was a formative character, and one who worked clean. One of my originals, he opened the door for Penn and Teller and David Letterman years later. Great timing for him, the confident nerd in the era of Sledge-o-matic, the early 80s were still at the advent of modern standup comedy and odd personas like his could still find a place at the mic, not to mention magic without big productions. As the years wore on he seemed like the perfect person to run into in some tourist city, shopping for rugs.

He was such a nice guy. He and his wife moved to a smaller house in Asheville a few years back and so had to downsize their library. He brought the books in to the store where I worked by himself, boxes and boxes. They were good books, too, a lot of penguin classics, a lot of interesting nonfiction. And a lot of them had his bookplate inside, From the Library of H. Anderson. We took more than half and he was even affable about picking up the ones we couldn’t take (this is often the point where people lose it) and came and loaded them all back into his car. He was a lovely, down to earth, pleasant person and I am so sorry to hear this.

I MeFi mailed maxsparber a while back about his encounters with Harry Anderson in New Orleans. I suppose we can let maxsparber fill in, but generally speaking, based on that previous letter, it sounds like Harry Anderson had had a serious problem with alcohol & it probably played a factor in why he didn't make it to "three score and ten." That may explain why he was on the outs with a lot of the rest of the Night Court cast & a cast reunion was Never. Gonna. Happen.

Still, hearing from some of the other folks on the thread, it looks like he found some peace for himself in North Carolina before he died.

I was another kid for whom Night Court was airing at just the right time slot for my formative years. It's funny how the vagaries of broadcast television shaped us.

I knew Anderson almost exclusively as Judge Stone, who was extremely appealing to me as a character. My memories of the show have faded somewhat with time and I probably won't revisit it anytime soon, but I recall Stone bringing humanity, heart, and goofiness to an institution, the justice system, that can be profoundly dehumanizing to both its defendants and employees.

Anyhow, he depicted the kind of adult I wanted to be in that role. Someone who could be both professional and fun. I have no idea what he was like as a person, but the fact that his stand-up persona was a literal con-man, well... we are who we pretend to be.

I can't believe this isn't just one of his ingenious hustles. Come on Harry, show yourself. There's so much that doesn't make sense. Harry was only 65. He can't be gone. This must be a trick.

He was a lovely guy, mischievous as hell, and just naturally hilarious.

Okay, Harry, you had your fun. Show yourself. It's too sad otherwise.

I read the article posted by ColdChef on Twitter from Bestofneworleans.com and they definitely reference a tension between Anderson and New Orleans.
Anderson and his wife rode out Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods, but he grew increasingly outspoken about the direction of the city, which he saw as a difficult place to live and work before the storm and nearly impossible afterward — particularly after the reelection of Ray Nagin as mayor in 2006. In a then-infamous New York Times profile, he lambasted New Orleans, saying, “This city hasn’t evolved. I just feel this place is stuck on stupid.” He subsequently moved to Asheville and lived there until his death.
But personally, I am only familiar with his acting, and I always liked things he was in.

So, I watched "Hello, Sucker!" last night and I have to say...it was a little blue!

There's an interesting part in the Steve Martin episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," when Jerry asks him why he left standup. His reply was something along the lines of "I ran out of material." As I recall, he had been building his standup persona for some years, it had hit its mark, continued for a minute into "King Tut," then he started focusing on acting and writing.

As I watched the special, I was reminded of all that as I realized I basically knew all of his bits in it, of which there are maybe 5 or 6? I don't recall watching the actual special (we didn't have Showtime when it came out), so my familiarity came from his TV appearances. He had about 5 years of working on all that and then he made a smart move into TV.

Hagiography aside, there's also a certain car-crash appeal of Harry as a crotchety Bukowski character as the years wore on. I kind of wish there was some TMZ clips for that, and I wonder what his drink was.

which he saw as a difficult place to live and work before the storm and nearly impossible afterward
