    Arthur Spooner was IMO the funniest TV dad of all time. RIP Jerry Stiller!

    Oh man...just terrible news. I loved him so much. He was so funny and brought everyone so many laughs. He was a Dad to all of us. He also acted in the Rush (band) concert intro video for the Rush 30th anniversary tour where he introduced the band on stage. I was floored to even think he was a Rush fan. I was just watching a YouTube roast/tribute to him by his fellow actors the other night. So sad to lose him now. RIP

    Terrible news. I still watch king of queens religiously after all these years and he was one of the main reasons. RIP

    rip, first knew him from seinfeld as a kid.

    Also i think it sucks that now people have to declare that someone died from other causes that's not coronavirus. I dunno I feel like people now assumes everything is coronavirus related.

    Get the hell out of here with Spooner crap, he will always be Frank Costanza the inventor of Festivus.:D

    Frank Costanza will always be a top 3 character in my book.

    Never watched King of Queens was he still doing a curmudgeon?

    I loved how he could seem like the most pissed off human on the planet while simply saying "Merry Christmas". Singing "Happy Birthday" must've been hysterical... lol.

    As much as I love Frank Costanza, I actually think Arthur Spooner was a funnier character. Was just re-watching the one where he got married (to his real wife) last week. One of the funniest episodes of the series and it was all because of him.

    If you're a Stiller fan, you should give King of Queens a watch. He was brilliant.

    Yeah actually I am curious and will watch the posted video but Frank was absurdly funny because that fit in the Sienfeld premise which I love.

    K.O.Q. does not seem to be that type of show.

    I watched the clip and he seems to be doing Frank lite, still funny but nothing like this.

    A classic line.

    I wasn't familiar with him until Seinfeld, which he was fantastic in. But he stole every scene he was in on King of Queens--literally EVERY scene. Was Seinfeld the better show? Oh, hell yes. But Jerry Stiller on King of Queens... what a character.

    Guys like him don't come around often.
