Harry Anderson (October 14, 1952 - April 16, 2018) was an American actor, comedian and magician. He is best known for his role of Judge Harry Stone on the 1984-1992 television series Night Court. He later starred in the sitcom Dave's World from 1993 to 1997.
In addition to eight appearances on Saturday Night Live between 1981 and 1985, Anderson had a recurring guest role as con man Harry "The Hat" Gittes on Cheers. He toured extensively as a magician, and did several magic/comedy shows for broadcast, including Harry Anderson's Sideshow (1987). He played Richie Tozier in the 1990 miniseries It, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.
Anderson was born October 14, 1952, in Newport, Rhode Island. He spent much of his youth performing magic on the streets of Chicago, New York, St. Louis and New Orleans before landing in California at the age of 16. After moving to Los Angeles, he joined the Dante Magic Club and worked as a street magician in San Francisco when he was 17. He attended Buena Park High School before graduating from North Hollywood High School in 1970 as class valedictorian. After high school, he attended Fullerton College. From 1971 to 1976, he lived in Ashland, Oregon, performing magic and working with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Anderson's many appearances on Saturday Night Live during the show's seventh, eighth, and ninth seasons, as well as hosting an episode on the show's tenth season, led to his role as Harry "The Hat" Gittes on several seasons of the television sitcom Cheers, and eventually as Judge Harry Stone on the sitcom Night Court. He went on to appear in other television specials and shows, including 12 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
As a magician, Anderson toured extensively and performed in comedy/magic shows for clubs and broadcast, including Harry Anderson's Sideshow in 1987. In 1990, he starred in the television adaptation of Stephen King's It as the adult Richie Tozier. From 1993 to 1997, he starred in the television sitcom Dave's World, based loosely on the life and columns of humorist Dave Barry.
Anderson wrote a book called Games You Can't Lose: A Guide for Suckers, a collection of gags, cons, tricks and scams. First published in 1989 (ISBN 978-1-58080-086-0, 2001 reprint), it also contains a survey of "Games You Can't Win" told from an insider's perspective. He appeared with Criss Angel in a TV special called The Science of Magic, later released on DVD.
In November 2008, Anderson played himself on an episode of 30 Rock, along with fellow former Night Court cast members Markie Post and Charles Robinson.
Anderson was a longtime fan of singer Mel Tormé, and his character Judge Stone on Night Court was also a Tormé fan; the singer appeared on the sitcom six times. Night Court creator Reinhold Weege said that Anderson and his character both being Tormé fans was completely coincidental. Anderson was among those who delivered eulogies at the singer's funeral in 1999.
Anderson was married twice. In 1977 he married Leslie Pollack (b. 1953); they had two children, a daughter, Eva Fay Anderson, and a son, Dashiell Anderson, before divorcing in 1999. In 2000 he married Elizabeth Morgan (b. 1973). In 2006, Anderson and his wife moved from New Orleans to Asheville, North Carolina.
In late January 2018, Anderson had a bout of influenza and subsequently suffered several strokes. On April 16, 2018, he died in his sleep of a stroke due to influenza and heart disease at his home in Asheville, North Carolina, at the age of 65. Harry Anderson was cremated and has no grave or gravesite fans can visit. - Zábava
I am of the opinion that Night Court was of a cast that can never be duplicated again, their timing and presence was completely flawless. ❤
What an absolutely beautiful neighborhood. Not a bad place to live out your final days. RIP Harry Anderson... these days 65 isn't that old. He leaves a great legacy.
For a lonely kid getting bullied in elementary school, I knew I could always count on having a good laugh with my dad watching Night Court. As an adult, I never thought of Harry as someone who wouldn't be here one day. Hit hard. Rest in peace Harry Anderson, Markie Post and Charles Robinson.
👍elementary was tough ,as well.
I’m surprised that the junk yard house is allowed to have his yard like that in a such a nice neighborhood 😊
Im glad.. it looks fairly contained and sorganizedish
Very underrated entertainer. I loved when he did cameos on Cheers. Cheers came on at 9 and Night Court at 9:30. Memories....
I met him when I was an extra on "Daves World." Nice guy.
Harry was also a *huge* fan of Mel Torme, who, as it turns out, made at least one appearance on Night Court. It feels so weird to have been alive at a time when these shows were airing brand new. For us at that time, it was what it was, just business as usual. Now, over 35 years ago, I look back and it amazes me how much good quality TV viewing we had back then.
My most favorite show on TV . I could watch reruns of Night Court forever. In fact, I am now. Harry Anderson was one of a kind. Lovable and wacky .❤
I completely forgot about IT.
What a great movie.
I remember him on Cheers.
Night Court was a favorite.
Harry seemed so intelligent.
The era your speaking of is not familiar to today’s generation.
Lovely video
I loved Harry Anderson and watched him in many parts. Night Court was my favorite. The ensemble was perfect to watch. RIP Harry you are very missed.
Hi Scott. Always had a crush on Harry...Sad that he is no longer with us. Night Court was and still is one of my boyfriend and my favorite shows--my boyfriend has the entire collection of Night Court on Blu-ray. I enjoyed this video. Learned some things about Harry that I didn't know before. Thanks for making this video.
I had such a crush on Harry Anderson growing up. Loved him in Night Court and IT! I vaguely remember the other shows/movie you mentioned but I can't remember watching them :( He really did love magic though, I remember him doing a magic show in a train car...on Disney Channel?? Thank you so much for taking us along.
Nice memories of Night Court. I was not aware that Harry Anderson had passed away, he actually was young. Great guy and awesome character that Judge Stone he played in Night Court.
My introduction to Harry Anderson was watching him perform magic on SNL. I remember seeing his first appearance on the show and then later on I started watching him on "Cheers" and then "Night Court ". I never became a fan of "Dave's World" but I have seen a few episodes. Dave was of the most talented magicians I had ever seen. May he rest in peace.
That area is beautiful.
I first saw him on " Cheers " he was fantastic. !!!
I had been hoping for a long time that you'd cover Harry Anderson at some point. Prior to "Nightcourt", Anderson played a character on "Cheers" called, 'Harry the Hat' that appeared only a few times. This character was the basis for 'Judge Harry Stone'. Thank you, Paul. I mean...thank you, Mark. 🤔 NO! I mean, thank you, Scott! 😁
Get a life.

"Beep, beep, Richie." He'll always be Richie Tozier to me. Great video, Scott. Absolutely love Asheville.
I've always loved watching night court back in the 80's with Harry Anderson, Marky Post, Richard Moll and John larroquette
When my son was a baby, I would have Night Court playing on the tv and he would always bob his head and smile at the theme song. Had no idea he lived in Asheville..I love it there. Cool to see.
Harry Anderson did a TV movie in the early 80s he did a tribute to Harry Houdini magic 🪄🎩
My Mom loved Night Court. I remember watching reruns as a kid. I'm sorry to hear that he has passed away.
Night Court was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid.
❤❤❤He was very special ❤❤❤
I use to watch night court all the time , love this ♥
I love night court and Harry is awesome
I'm so happy you did an upload on Harry Anderson. Night Court was and still is a great original show. Thank you Scott. I didn't even put it together he was on the original IT.
🕊️🙏❤️
Loved Harry Anderson. Pretty cool to see that he lived like us 'regular' folks. THANX Scott! 👍🤗✌️
I loved watching Night Court as a kid with my dad.
I loved Night Court. I thought Markie Post was the most beautiful woman in the world. I was born in 1965 so I fondly remember all these great show. They just don’t make them like this anymore. Great video @scottontape
And had one dam hot figure too
He starred in a 1985 episode of Tales from the Darkside called “All a Clone by the Telephone” for anyone who remembers that show.
Yes he was digging for minerals and pulled out some woman if i remembered correctly
I love the nightcourt show . He was a great actor and a comedy star and the magic was very great too.
I will always remember him on cheers as well but Playing Ritchie on IT And night court of course was one of my favorites Rih Harry❤
I had a Crush on him on Night Court!!!!
Thank you Scott not only for helping us celebrity ghost hunters see what we could never see but my mom just loved you before she passed away....thank you for all the joy you bought her...now I am a fan...
Wow thank you Eric . I hope your dear mother is resting peacefully
Thank you very much Scott...that means a lot... keep doing what you do👍
Loved him on Cheers!
I enjoyed him on SNL way before Night Court…as a fellow Magician I can tell you he was very very creative
I am astounded that he is not remembered more. I pray he gets a documentary to give him a legend memorial. He deserves it! Always made me laugh! A comedian and magician that to this day surprises many entertainers.
I'm hoping for a documentary 🙂 I looked up to him and he's one of the reasons why my interest in magic got reignited
You do forget when celebrities pass on! Thank you for doing this. I always enjoyed his work.
I watched Cheers and Night Court every Thursday night.
I remember watching Night Court as a kid late night…loved the show ❤
What a great show that was. Also a great cast.
He had a reoccurring role on cheers too.
Yup I mentioned that 😊
@SCOTTONTAPE Sorry haven't finished the video. Thanks for commenting. 🙂
I LOVE WATCHING TV SHOWS NIGHT COURT
Night court was and till this day is my favorite show I watched it growing up and whenever I get the chance I watch the reruns all because of Harry❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up watching the show
Looks kinda like Harry was living the secluded “Aunt Bee” lifestyle up in North Carolina!
Harry did a fun sitcom called Dave's World. I think it's how bill engvall got famous.
One of my all time favourite shows. As always, you brought back great memories of a childhood. 😊
Love that show
Nite court ❤❤❤
Harry RIP 🙏🌹
Will be Missed Forever ⭐🕶️
I binge watched Night Court couple months ago.
Thanks Scott, I loved Night Court 🤗🤗🤗 When you heard that theme song, you knew that the fun was about to start.
Also, RIP Florence Halop, Selma Diamond and Paula Kelly 💜🌷
Also Markie Post and Charles Robinson
He was class in Cheers.. The only role I saw him in!.. English bob.
WOW I remember watching Night Court as a kid from when it first aired back in the early 80's.. Loved Night Court so great.. Scott your content is always fantastic..
Loved "Night Court". ❤ the whole cast was awesome, as always...thanks for the memories Scott.
Loved Harry Anderson and Night Court! I did not realize he had passed away. Thank you for another great, informative video!
Loved this one Scott. Huge fan from WAY back of Harry Anderson.
I grew up on night court and then Dave's world
Loved night court and he was awesome in 1990. Stephen King's It rest in peace, Harry❤
I loved him in the movie “IT”.
Loved Harry. I had the pleasure to see him do stand up and magic in Minneapolis in the late 80s. He was terrific and very, very funny.
his start on life was hard, but if one has talent you can over come what holds one back ....he did that.
I knew that youd finally do a video on Harry Anderson!!!! I loved watching him do magic when i was a child on tv of course! He always seemed like a wonderfully sweet and funny man!
I remember watching it with my parents my dad would sit and laugh at bull I loved watching that TV show ❤
I’m a horror enthusiast and my two favorite Harry Anderson roles are in Stephen King’s IT (‘90) and an episode of Tales of the Crypt as a comic book writer for the strip. Saint Harry Anderson Pray for Us. 🙏🏾
Loved Night Court❤ Thanks for covering this😊
Great job guys. What a beautiful neighbourhood, with beautiful old homes.
I loved the night Court he made the show that's for sure
I live in New Orleans. Thank you for remembering Harry. I always felt sorry for him because he had such a rough life. Just when he got things stabilized, he passed away. Wonder how wife his doing?
I live in Asheville - glad you stopped by to honor Harry - Wish you would have had time to do a meet and greet!
Beautiful town ! Next time!
The first time I ever saw Harry Anderson was as a magician, not an actor. Harry appeared on several episodes of SNL back in the 80s and that's were I first became familiar with him.
Good video. I only really remember him from the IT miniseries in 1990.
Watched the sitcom, absolutely soo funny.
Mrs H 🇬🇧 watching 👀 from Northeast UK ... I remember him in IT & CHEERS, We didn't get Night Court in UK...Not that I'm aware of anyway and I didn't know he'd died...Thank You for remembering him ...RIP Harry...God Bless...🙏
I like his episode of Tales from the Darkside.
I loved Harry Anderson, after watching Night Court, I always found out what other shows he was on.
I'm one of those people who didn't know he passed. I saw where they were trying to reboot Night Court, I wouldn't watch out of stubbornness ...I can't stand copies. Make your own show. Harry Anderson made his own way and did it with class and a smile. Don't see guys like him anymore. Thanks guys for showing Ashville.
The show was wonderful, it gave you a good feeling. You forgot your troubles for a half hour. Everyone from the show made it wonderful!
Night Court was one of my shows when I was a kid that I would always make sure to watch when it come on. I loved Night Court. I’m trying to stay up with the reboot which seems nice also.
I had no idea that Harry had passed. Sad! I remember night court well. Another interesting vid and thanks to your friend for tagging along!
Thanks Scott, for taking us along on this adventure. I loved Night Court, never missed it.
Absolutely the best comedy show ever written( my opinion) and you just ended up loving the Characters (Markie Post Aug 7 2021 RIP) especially judge Harry Stone! Played by Harry Anderson a great actor he was also in the original IT movie series on T.V.
This was a excellent view Scott appreciate you covering this one as he was one special dude.Luv&Peace from Sean&family Cheers! 🤝🏼✌🏼
Loved watching Night Court as a Kid with my mom.. You and Ray did a wonderful job!! May Harry rest in peace!
I met Harry at Epcot Center back in 1986. He was a tourist at the park (walking around with his manager). He would performing that evening at a comedy club downtown Orlando. He couldn’t have been nicer to me & my family.
You are correct, I did not realize he had passed away.
Harry will forever be one of my favorites. This video was so hard for me to watch 💔...but so beautifully & respectfully done, as always.
Thanks Scotty. 💋
Thank you Scott and Ray for this wonderful tribute vlog to Harry Anderson. I loved NightCourt! This was a very funny show!
Asheville is a great town... Thanks for sharing!!!!
This was very interesting. Great video.
Love him, night court and IT ❤
I am a Night Court fan I'm not crazy about the new one nothing can ever be better then the original show. Harry had a beautiful house the neighborhood is nice & quiet I would love to love in a neighborhood like that.
I loved Harry Anderson! I grew up watching Night Court. It was one of my favorite shows. I had a little crush on him 😁 It's hard to believe that he, Markie Post, & Charles Robinson have all passed away in recent years.
Scott you and Ray did a great job with this story. I loved Harry Anderson in night court.
Good thing I have you in my life. I didn't realize many of the people you cover had passed. Thank you Scott On Tape. I'm keeping you in my pocket 💙
Thanks for the great video on Harry ! I always watched Night Court. I don't believe he got the acknowledgment that he deserved.
That Was Awesome Show And Didn't Know He Passed Till I Looked It Up And I Remember Markie Post Too Thanks Guys For Videos Ya Are The Best
65 is not that old since I am getting closer. I loved night court.
Incredible magician! “ Knot here!” One of his tricks where he cut up a rope and slid the knot on the rope. R.I.P Harry. Thanks for the laughs.
Scott and Ray, thank you for the tour and you both did a phenomenal job of telling the story and tracing the steps of Harry Anderson to each of his homes. He was a great actor and Night Court was a fabulous show during one of the best eras of television. I didn't know about his magical talent so that was really interesting to learn. I LOVE magicians! They are so fascinating, and I dislike when people give their tricks away. That's just wrong and takes away the wonder of it all. What would magic be without the magic? Ashville is a stunningly beautiful area of North Carolina. I drove through there on the way to a family reunion in Waynesville. I fell in love with the area and never wanted to go back to Chicago! So sad how he died, the flu is HORRIBLE, and it comes on so fast!! I ended up with it four years ago and thought I was a goner. Couldn't even take my dog out. Couldn't walk two steps without becoming breathless. My daughter called and I couldn't even answer the phone. She finally called my sister to ask her if she would go to my house and check on me. She has a key, so she let herself in when I didn't answer the door. I told her she needed to leave because I was really sick, but she insisted I go to the ER., so she took me. I had almost 105 fever. That's when I learned it was the flu. It is definitely deadly!! I wouldn't wish it on anyone, and although I recovered, my lungs have never really been the same since. I am so sorry he died like that. What a great video in tribute to a great actor and magician who will always be remembered because of a great big heart like yours Scott. RIP to Harry Anderson 🪄💐
I love the show Night Court and when Harry. I was so sad! ... RIP🌹
