The passing of Jerry Stiller earlier this week had a profound effect on many people in the comedy community, including, of course, his former Seinfeld castmates, many of whom paid tribute to the comedy legend on social media. Joining the fray yesterday was actor Michael Richards, who created an Instagram account for the express purpose of paying tribute to Stiller.
“Until today, I have avoided social media completely, but I have created this account in order to say something, belatedly, about a person I loved,” Richards writes. “Jerry Still was an absolute treasure. I adored him…He was hilarious and a great friend. He’s a legendary showman and he was an inspiration to me.”
