The Cheers episode where Harry and Coach out-con the con man is a classic.

He was a very funny and genuine guy. RIP Judge Stone.

Night Court is the odd sitcom that I loved as a kid and still like as an adult

Had drinks with him at the Carousel bar a few times.

I did not know he was from NOLA. But for some reason I knew his Night Court costar John Larroquette was.

Guy was a real talent, a natural and great street performer who made it to screen. Great wit, super-fast timing, charm, innocence, and magic tricks. What's not to like?

I met him in the Quarter back when he had that magic shop and lived here. We all knew him from Night Court but SNL is where we saw him first.

Damn I haven’t thought about that show in a while. RIP. I had no idea he was 6’ 4” until it came up on a google search. I always thought he was short for some reason.
It was the tallest cast at the time: LINK
quote:
Up front are a pair of 6-foot, 4-inch forwards: Harry Anderson as maverick judge Harry Stone and John Larroquette as Dan Fielding, the assistant district attorney you love to hate. In the middle is 6-foot, 8-inch Richard Moll, a solid role player whose Bull Shannon rarely dominates, but always delivers when called upon. The guards are 6-foot, 2-inch muscle-man Charles Robinson, whose Mac often sets up big plays for the others, and 5-foot, 6-inch Markie Post as Christine, the perky public defender who is equally adept at the assist and the score. And coming off the bench as Roz is 5-foot, 11-inch Marsha Warfield, the newest member of the team who is a rising star in her own right.As with any team, the "Night Court" squad hails from a variety of family backgrounds. Anderson, for example, comes from "the tough side" of Newport, R.I., the son of a divorced mother who had to move around a lot in search of ways to support her three children. Post, meanwhile, grew up in posh Palo Alto, Calif., the daughter of a poet and a well-known nuclear physicist.
RIP, Harry Anderson.
Loved that show and have theme song stuck in my head. The last season was meh but I enjoyed it as a whole.

My SIL (no pics, Carly Simon-esque) lives in Asheville. She had mutual friends there with Anderson. He was never really able to get his life in gear after he got there following Katrina.
He kept saying he was going to open a magic shop in A-ville but never did.
Sad. Maybe the storm had something to do with his mental health.

But it was the recent mayoral election, Mr. Anderson said, “that was the nail in the coffin.”
The re-election of C. Ray Nagin, whom Mr. Anderson holds largely responsible for New Orleans’s drift since the hurricane, came as a shock. The Sunday after the May 20 election, he said, he walked the streets of the Quarter, angry with a result that “pulled the rug out from any hope of” change for the better.
“This city hasn’t evolved,” Mr. Anderson said. “I just feel this place is stuck on stupid.”
He said that in 2006. I wonder how he would have reacted to the mess that Mitch proved to be.

This bums me out.
Before Night Court, he was a helluva magician / comic. He would demonstrate a lot of scams and "geek" tricks from the old carnival days.
His other show, Dave's World, based loosely on Dave Barry's comedy was pretty solid, too.
