From fans of the hit television show"Seinfeld" or those who remember him in"The King of Queens," to people who were drawn to him in his early career while he performed with his wife, Anne Meara, Jerry Stiller's comments made him a comedy legend.
Actor Ben Stiller confirmed on Monday that his father, veteran comedian Jerry, passed away from natural causes. He wrote on Twitter that the 92-year-old was a great dad, grandfather and"most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years." Jerry launched his career with his wife, Anne, in the late 1950s and the two performed more than 30 times on"The Ed Sullivan Show." They played off their mismatched backgrounds: he, Eastern European and Jewish, her Irish-American and Roman Catholic. Although they ended up breaking up the act and going their separate ways in television and film, the two remained married until Meara's death in 2015.
