Ben Stiller Remembers His Father, Jerry Stiller: ‘He Loved Connecting With People’ | Sunday TODAY

[@GreatRhyno]

I wish you would of mention king of Queens ,he was so great on that show ,RIP.JERRY

[@xaviethecat]

Was thinking the same thing! There were a few similarities between that character & the one on Seinfeld, but Arthur had more sweetness & vulnerability, all played beautifully by Jerry Stiller. Arthur was instrumental to the success of that show. Fun to see Stiller & Meara on old Tattle Tales game shows! Their love seemed so genuine, and is reflected by their lovely son. Thanks for the laughs, and my best to their families.

[@peanut24cute49]

He was great on king of queens,never missed it

[@afiajazz3644]

Yea, I loved 🥰 him on there, Arthur ❤️

[@ryandonovan2585]

Great family Jerry is a legend!

[@badreedinedjellali1328]

so this how he looks like in real life

[@roseannallen2565]

I love watching him in King of Queens he made that show great comedian!

[@chrispap4957]

Seinfeld May have survived without him but he gave that show such a lift. King of Queens never would have worked without him

[@chrispap4957]

I love King of Queens, watching all the episodes on the NBC app Peacock currently. It was a well written show with other very talented actors but I don’t know if it coulda made it without him as Arthur Spooner

[@Chevy969]

You ain’t lying. Arthur was so fun and funny.

[@thebox6225]

Jerry was one of the funniest Men on this Planet.

[@ferencszabo3504]

He was an old school gem! One of the kind!

[@collinnc2001]

Next to Tim Conway and Harvey Korman!

[@oldtimer7635]

How do you know that? Family member? I think he was an amazing actor, but I am not arrogant enough to say anything more about someone I didn't know personally.

[@Ironglass_2212]

Arthur spooner was the best! Currently watching king of queens just for him.

[@JTYooper]

I am hoping KoQ makes it to a streaming service soon, looking fwd to starting at S1-E1 !!

[@arasb3258]

So many great scenes! I loved the one whete Arthur asks Doug to help him send back a package of deodorant that gave him a rash, and it turned out to be industrial glue (or something).

[@JT-lt5gr]

I loved how he called him "Douglas."

[@citizen1163]

Same! From lockdown London England

[@_____7512]

Yes, great role of his many roles.. god bless him. He gave us so many laughs..

[@vickieclark5931]

Great interview. You can tell how much Ben loves his father by the light he has in his eyes talking about him.

[@techtech2333]

🙂🌟👍🏻

[@ManifestWithMira]

“Rest Well, Jerry Stiller.” Ben is one of my absolute fav creative artists. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world.

[@joefriedman9843]

Him and both his parents are amazing. Just a great family.

[@11matt11]

Imagine having such a great career, then having the ending be so beloved by so many people, and setting up your son to be one of the most well respected comedic movie actors of a generation. Jerry lived the American dream.

[@cathleanjohnson675]

"Arthur Spooner" one of the funniest inlaws ever on TV, still watch "King of Queens" in reruns, RIP Jerry, thanks for all the laughs, you are missed..

[@azshadow32]

Condolences to the Stiller family. I watched him first on Seinfeld and he was hilarious. I lost my father 6 years ago to agent orange exposure in Vietnam working on planes. He did 3 tours and served 22 years. He was the best dad and I still feel the void because we spent a lot of time together.

[@user-zp3oz7op6w]

You will be with him again in Heaven when you die if you believe.

[@joeymaterese8095]

Your dad is a hero

[@suzanne296]

[@beafreeall7953]

It has been 20 yrs since I lost my parents...think of them everyday...and still miss them terribly ...

[@ruthrose2555]

I never knew how much he looked like his dad...wow! I never watched Seinfeld but laughed so hard watching him on Queens as the neurotic dad. His timing with the others on Queens was impeccable! A natural who absolutely loved his work!

[@jennifercamille16]

This brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful interview! Loved him on Seinfeld! Rest in peace, Jerry Stiller. ✨

[@miguelgonzales8887]

He was amazing on king of queens.

[@carringtonlefayette8644]

Jerry was beyond fabulous. God was showing off when Jerry was made. A Rose still grows beyond the wall.

[@joefriedman9843]

Well said

[@dgatsf]

I absolutely loved your dad. So funny. RIP Jerry.

[@donnacarroll6621]

Just a perfectly beautiful interview. A devoted son sharing the love of his Dad, we could feel the profound depth between father and son in the interview. We shall never forget Jerry Stiller, he lives on through his son. Thank you

[@truecrimestories4369]

A tremendous loss in so many ways to so many people. He brought laughter to a countless number of people over the years, including me.

[@JamieMiles_southmainmuse]

I'm old enough to remember Stiller and Meara. Even though I was young -- I still "got" their humor. So talented and I'm sure seeing their son's success brought them both great joy. I lost my dad, six years ago. It's surreal to lose a parent. A very personal private journey. (And my dad was stationed in Livorno in WWII.) Such a great generation.

[@lorenzodeo2007]

[@cjtheevilghost5711]

I miss Jerry Stiller. He was such a funny and awesome man. Rest In Peace Jerry. 😔

[@loveyourfurbuddypets.]

Jerry Stiller was hilarious in Seinfeld and King of Queens. I had so many good laughs watching him perform with the casts. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. It sounds like he was a very nice man, wonderful father and husband.

[@ah8893]

I find it weird they didn’t mention King of Queens. I think his role on that show had more impact than Seinfeld

[@nadiac7495]

Ben your father is in your face! Every time you see yourself you’ll see him...he’ll live on forever! This was a great interview!

[@JSBeats85]

You can tell that at the end of the interview that Ben was having to keep it together to not break down. Such a profound loss of an amazing man.

[@goodgracious6364]

Loved how Jerry Stiller could look absolutely angry or annoyed in a role, but at the same time be absolutely hilarious! He cracked me up on King of Queens! R.I.P. Jerry Stiller!

[@maxalberts2003]

He was brilliant. He is enormously missed and is irreplaceable.

[@abidababida7096]

Ben is an icon of our generation and his father was responsible for bringing laughter to millions for decades. R.I.P. Daddy Stiller

[@valerief1231]

Ben looks good. I’m relieved. My heart is still grieving, as I relate to Jerry’s work on a personal level.

[@DDee-oi6kn]

He was one of the best - he will be missed.

[@rmd4138]

I would have paid a high price to hang out just one day at Mr. Stiller's house. He cracked me up. He was what I call a 'dangerous comedian', in that he could make you die of hysterics. Whether it was 'The king of Queens', 'Sienfeld', or anything he ever did, he was such a 'great guy'...he always lifted my spirits, and brought me so much laughter, especially in such hard times. (Well now, I guess we're 'gonna have to play reruns!♥️)

[@dhowto3005]

This was a good interview. He showed a lot of strength through this interview.

[@jermar1979]

He will always be Frank Costanza to me. Loved him! RIP, Mr. Stiller ❤️

[@joshuapayne7832]

Jerry was outstanding in everything he did! He will be greatly missed

[@danielleweeks4552]

With all the happy stories of his father you could see the bitteraweet tears in his eyes. But the love was incredible.

[@michaelgieseler2179]

What an amazing and humbling interview. King of Queens really helped pass the time and keep my mind off things when i was deployed. RIP Jerry and my prayers for his family.

[@fayb9451]

92.....what a Wonderful Life 🙏

[@rmjrjunior.4782]

So sorry for their loss, I’ve watched Jerry Stiller for years and he was just the best. His memory will live on forever.

[@kindnesslove2271]

Just a beautiful interview thank you Ben for sharing great moments with your dad❤ thank you Willy for this beautiful interview such kindness💓❤

[@wellthen4948]

My god this mans just the sweetest, he included everyone else and knowing that so many of us can’t see our loved ones, can’t be beside them when they pass, it’s heartbreaking. Rip Jerry stiller.

[@mauritiusdunfagel9473]

I loved that man, the funniest man ever born! I’m have missed him lately and will always miss him.

[@RennLea]

This was a absolutely wonderful interview but I have to come back another time and watch it because I have too many tears right now. Jerry Stiller was beloved by people from every Walk of Life I'm so glad that his son Ben is still here to carry on through him. I'm so sad that Ben now has two parents that are gone.

[@XHollisWood]

We will all remember the laughs and humor your family has blessed us all with. Thank You ☺️ My deepest condolences ❤️

[@jesseleblanc1199]

He brought so much to everything he was apart of always a joy to see him in action

I love this family the stiller have always warmed my heart ever since I was a kid. Ben is one of my faves Jerry really left a lasting impression on the world.

[@jacquelinebrewer3643]

King of Queens I loved Arthur Spooner. That show was great! Still watching reruns of Doug & Carrie. Great chemistry!

[@KittyPee61]

Yep. And between Arthur and Carrie. Surprisingly tender moments out of his crazy when he was fatherly towards her.

[@planetX15]

To each their own, but I found him to be a lot more funnier as Frank Costanza in Seinfeld, never really liked The King Of Queens that much.

[@nancycarroll489]

My favorite actor of all time, Jerry Stiller! So sad he passed

[@fayb9451]

I really enjoyed them both... Laughter

[@elijah7924]

My condolences Ben. Your Father has made me laugh so hard over the years. He blessed his audiences with his comedy.😇

Ben, Gut wrenched for you, sincere condolences from Hong Kong, May the angels be watching over him. 😇

[@geoffreyr2356]

I grew up watching Stiller and Meara, I remember watching them on Merv, Mike Douglas a show called Tattletales and the list goes on and on they brought family so many laughs over the years. Thank you for sharing your parents with us over the years. It is great to watch you grow in the business and continue to bring joy and laughter to millions of people just as your parents did. Stay safe, stay strong and please continue to shine the light that is in your heart when you are ready to.
