There is nobody funnier than Fred Willard. Every time he was on screen I got excited and he never disappointed. Every time I saw him in real life he was kind and generous. Watching him in Fernwood Tonight, Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and all of his other film… pic.twitter.com/ilGiJ3u0vV

RIP Fred Willard, a truly lovely man. I first worked with him on “Moving Violations” over 30 years ago, and for the last 10 years we have been doing “Celebrity Autobiography” together. Fred was an understated comic genius. You could always count on him to bring the house down. pic.twitter.com/w8uh470fO1

I played in charity softball games with Fred Willard. Once after I had a bad day at the plate, Fred put his arm around me and said, “Have you thought about turning the bat around?” I laughed, and immediately felt better. That was Fred – Hilarious and caring. Miss you, my friend.

Fred Willard. The dear hilarious kind man we just lost. Here am I with he and Martin Mull while shooting a documentary about Martin. Seeing them having fun together reminiscent of the Fernwood days was truly a joy. Rest In Peace dear Fred. pic.twitter.com/mnYHzhlxLQ

Fred Willard was that comedic stress relief, whenever he was on screen you relaxed, because you KNEW funny was coming. Sad day losing him. RIP

Fred Willard died yesterday. His ad-libbing as the dog show announcer in Best in show to this day kills me! I laughed at everything Fred did. He was so funny. He did my Christmas special and I’m glad I asked him because he was exactly like I thought he would be. So kind. RIP Fred pic.twitter.com/ObMw2G7Per
