You knew him as the judge on the hit sitcom "Night Court." Harry Anderson has passed away at the age of 65.

TMZ reports the actor died in his home today in North Carolina. While no cause has been announced, foul play is not suspected, according to police.

Along with playing Judge Harry Stone on "Night Court" from 1984 - 1992, Anderson is also known for having a recurring role as Harry "The Hat" Gittes on "Cheers." Anderson also had numerous appearances on "Saturday Night Live" in the early 80s.

The Rhode Island native, who lived in North Carolina, leaves behind his wife and two kids.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

Sad. He did excellent stand up too. He did one routine where he juggled bowling balls. RIP

Let’s at least spell the guy’s name properly in death.

I don't think he is too upset about it...

Harry Anderson had a pretty colorful life. He did an interview on Fresh Air back in '89. Fun Fact:  He didn't set out to be an actor.  He was hired as the con man in Cheers because he was a con man. Then the people casting Night Court didn't know he wasn't an actor and offered him the role.

Ermey had to be one of the strongest typecast guys around-But he did it so well!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 66: Played 18! Wasn't really keeping track of score, but guessing in the low 80s. Driving okay, iron play up and down, lagging putting really bad. Overall, it was good to get out and play.

      Day 41 - 2026-01-30 More backswing and grip work on the mat / net. Also some mirror time focused on trail weight.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 12 (30 Jan 26) -  Had hoped the men’s group would be playing, but the cold temps and delayed opening kept them at bay. Spent some time on the range working on loading the trail foot on the backswing (focusing on loading the inner portion of the foot and collapsing the knee slightly toward the ball). Learned too much really brought on a left pull.  Easing back a bit, really helped compressing the ball and overall accuracy.  Took it to the course for a practice round, focusing on this small change.  Saw better dispersion across the bag….guess this will be part of the mirror work drills as snowpacolypse 2 hits eastern NC.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
