Martin Mull Remembered By Hollywood For His Comedy And His Music

He was one of the major stars of the 1970s, first as a singer/songwriter and then as part of the iconic Norman Lear comedies Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and its spinoff, Fernwood 2 Night.

Today, the wit and charisma Mull brought to his craft was fondly remembered by his peers as word of his passing at age 80 spread.

Some of the reactions:

Martin Mull you always made me laugh. God bless the Mull family. RIP

RIP the great Martin Mull. I used to love watching Fernwood Tonight even though I didn’t always know what was going on. He and Fred Willard were both comic geniuses RS pic.twitter.com/gGVf1ncd0j

Martin Mull is a legend. He was a tremendous talent, who was always funny. As amazing as he was on camera, he was even more incredible off. The world was better with him in it. Perhaps the other side needed more laughter pic.twitter.com/2ljZaOccHI

Took me a moment to grasp that Martin Mull has passed. During the late 70s, we worked together on Fernwood Tonight & its successor series. We wrote together, often at the beach (!), and sometimes I’d come out and riff with him. Mucho laffs! Always a treat to be with. RIP MM.

Oh man, this is so sad. Martin was the greatest. So funny, so talented, such a nice guy. Was lucky enough to act with him on The Jackie Thomas Show and treasured every moment being with a legend. Fernwood Tonight was so influential in my life. RIP Martin. https://t.co/tMomvOVk4z

So sad to hear of the passing of Martin Mull. I worked with him a long time ago on a film called “Rented Lips” that he wrote and also starred in. He was such a witty charismatic and kind person. As an actress just starting out, it really meant a lot to me to be able to work with… pic.twitter.com/eOEOCuzN2P
