Comedian and actor Richard Lewis died at the age of 76 at his Los Angeles home after suffering a heart attack, according to a statement from his publicist.
Having made a name for himself as a self-deprecating standup, appearing throughout the years on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson," "Late Night with David Letterman," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and in a recurring role as himself on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Lewis revealed in 2023 that he had Parkinson’s disease, at which point he made the decision to hang up his mic and focus on acting and writing. Following the announcement of his death, fellow comedians and other celebrities fond of his work, and of him as a person, flooded social media with remembrances.
