Markie Post had few words to share when she learned of the death of Harry Anderson, her costar on NBC’s Night Court. “I am devastated,” she tweeted on Monday night. “I’ll talk about you later, Harry, but for now, I’m devastated.”

John B. Larroquette and Marsha Warfield, two of Post’s other Night Court cast mates, shared similar sentiments on social media as the industry at large reacted to the news.

“Harry Anderson. He was wicked smart. He was wicked funny. He had a big laugh. He had a big heart,” Larroquette wrote. “He delighted in legerdemain especially when he caused someone to scratch their head and proclaim; How the hell did you do that? And he could eat a hamster like no one I ever knew.”

Anderson passed away at the age of 65 on Monday at his home in Asheville, North Carolina. His cause of death is yet unknown, though authorities have ruled out foul play.

Other figures from Hollywood feeling the loss on social media included Gilbert Gottfried, producer Judd Apatow, Neil Patrick Harris, Zach Braff, Cher, and Howie Mandell — many of whom seemed to have a connection with the late actor.

“I appeared on three episodes of ‘Night Court’ way back when,” Gottfried recalled. “Ran into him in N.Y. not that long ago. Always friendly. Always funny. RIP Harry Anderson.”

Apatow remembered interviewing Anderson as a 15-year-old, calling him “a one of a kind talent” who was “so kind, and frank and hilarious.”

“Stunned by the passing of Harry Anderson, one of my comedy and magic inspirations growing up,” Harris wrote. “We became friendly over the years – he worked at [The Academy of Magic Arts in Hollywood] and recently sold me a handful of great magic memorabilia. My sincere condolences to his family.”

Not only does Piers Morgan enjoy feuding with celebrities, he also has gift for bringing a celebrity interview to a grinding, cringe-inducing halt. That was the case on Tuesday’s edition of “Good Morning Britain” when he and co-host Susanna Reid welcomed guest Pamela Anderson, with the B.C.-born beauty promoting her new book Lust for Love: Rekindling Intimacy and Passion in Your Relationship.

Much as Harry Anderson once solved our nation’ s most difficult nighttime-related court cases, the actor is now set to solve another completely imaginary dispute: the debate over evolution, as staged by those who believe there is one.

So sad to hear of passing of #HarryAnderson. I remember driving to NJ for $40/night gigs with him, before he became a huge star. (Nobody does that AFTER they're a huge star.) He was truly one of the nicest guys. A gentle soul. He will be missed. RIP friend..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I loved this guy even though I had never met him. Loved his comedy, his appearances on SNL (when they still had stand-ups), and Night Court is one of my all-time favorite sitcoms. I hope he is in some magical afterlife doing card tricks with Mel Tormé. #RIPHarryhttps://t.co/4l2vMz3zdw
