RIP Jerry Stiller, a great comic actor and a splendid man. He and his wife Anne were royalty but they wouldâve laughed in your face if you said so. And then hugged the hell out of you.

I so loved & admired Jerry Stiller. Met him & Anne in â73 when Franken & Davis did the NYC Improv. Werenât many teams then (still arenât) & we were big Stiller & Meara fans. They were so encouraging then & during my pol. career. Here's a sweet photo of the two of them. RIP Jerry. pic.twitter.com/1bnSwD2y3N

The late Jerry Stiller was – and always will be – a NYC icon. He & Anne Meara were legendary entertainers, and I had the good luck to present them with a "Made in New York" Mayor's Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2012. Now they're back together, & Heaven just got a lot funnier. pic.twitter.com/VcsEmQXnqr

I remember watching Stiller & Meara as a kid on Ed Sullivan, loving them. Then to work with Jerry, a kind, brilliant comedian who had no idea how great he was. What an honor! He was a giant!
