The Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Arrested Development star was 80
Martin Mull , the reliably hilarious screen presence of Clue and Arrested Development, died Thursday, his daughter confirmed on Instagram. He was 80. “I am heartbroken to share that my father passed away at home on June 27th after a valiant fight against a long illness,” Maggie Mull wrote. “He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials. He would find that joke funny. He was never not funny.
” Norman Lear’s absurdist soap opera Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman made Mull one of America’s coolest comedians, but the show’s spin-off, Fernwood 2 Night, made him a legend. The intensely meta series saw Mull and Willard hosting the late-night talk show set within Mary Hartman, allowing their fast-talking insults and ironic sense of humor to inspire a generation of alt-comedians. Fernwood’s meta worldbuilding can still be felt in the alt-comedy universes of On Cinema and The Best Show.
