I waited on Jerry Stiller in 1987. I was 23 yrs old and not very good at my job, but he was very kind. the next night I was out to dinner with my bf and we were seated next to him. he was having a business dinner or something, but leaned over and said “remember me?” and we all had such a nice conversation. this was pre-Seinfeld, but I knew him from his comedy act with his wife. such a kind, kind man.
My grandmother passed away 3 years ago and in her final years we would watch The King of Queens all the time. That show will always remind me of her and I just started re-watching it in the past few months. Such a great show and Jerry and Kevin had such great chemistry together. Maybe one of the more underrated sitcoms ever. I notice the tributes to Jerry tend to actually overlook this show more and focus on Seinfeld, which of course was a classic show, but Jerry was on The King of Queens for 9 seasons. For me that was a much bigger role for him than Seinfeld and I remember him more for that and of course his stuff with his wife.
The king of queens is such an underrated show! Jerry was perfect for the roll of Arthur Spooner and brought so much humor and charisma to the character.
Respect for Ben, who was able to hold it together while giving him this beautiful tribute, but also especially with selflessness, sensitivity and diplomacy, while also thinking of countless others who also have lost loved ones during this time, and too many to this merciless virus. Such a surreal time :( RIP Jerry Stiller
What a family overall, but Ben and Jerry were two of the most hilarious people I've ever witnessed. Ben looks beautiful, aging like a fine wine, and wish I could just hug him. His dad was a rock star and seemed like a heck of a loving dad!! RIP... what a blessing he was to this earth!
I love that he recognized the pandemic and what everyone else is going through all while mourning his dad and saying how fortunate he is to have been with him. 👍🏼
I know exactly what Ben means about this being a weird time for him. I lost my parents within 5 months of each other in late 05/early 06. When they go, it's very sobering to feel so incredibly bereft and alone and weird to be without them. There's no generation ahead of one anymore, and it's so sad and, well, weird. When one is close to parents, the loss is staggering. He has my deepest sympathy, and I hope being able to watch their performances from countless TV shows over the years brings him and his family comfort.
no matter how old you are, when your parents die, you have this feeling of being an orphan, no more anchor, no more phone calls...a new adjustment...now the ball is in your court.
My heart goes out to you!! A few years ago I lost all 4 (step included) within 2 yrs. I still think of them all often. Miss them terribly! In the last 20 yrs I was the sole caregiver for my mom, stepdad and the family farm. Included in there was my dear hubby. I truly miss them all.
I'm so very sorry for your Loss. No matter how long it's been, it feels fresh when it's your parents - hopefully. It is weird. & In my case my sister & I have a toxic relationship & we R both single, no kids...so you're alone in the world. Thank God for cousin's.
Ben talks about his dad being quiet and sensible - clearly he got that trait from Jerry. I have seen Ben in a few things being serious but for the most part, it's always something we are laughing at. He has a very kind, and heart-filled side to him as well. Rest peacefully Jerry.
"Serenity Now!" What a star. He truly had me crying so many times, and when my sister does anything wrong at family events I shout "You're dead to me!". Then my mother shouts "Don't say that!", I shout "Its from a show" and there I am, my sister laughing, my mother shouting, my dad just folding his arms wishing he had taken precautions 48 years ago and there it is is, as if by magic, I have created a little bit of Costanza Festivus madness in England. I appreciate that one of those lines is from King of Queens but thats ok, because my sister has never seen Seinfeld whereas I have them all on DVD, but she is a King of Queens fan. Love from and Englishman in France. Rest in Peace Mr Stiller senior Sir. Bless you, and as for Ben Stiller, well, all I can say is that the helicopter scene in 'Mitty' also caused me to make a leap... I watched that movie against my will (because it was a gift from an ex), at The WORST time of my life, and it really hit me! I have been in the air ever since... Not quite high enough to look back at Planet Earth yet, but at least I am now on the launch-pad. Thanks, the film is a motivational-masterpiece, one that I have since passed on to someone else in greater need. I will buy another copy and perhaps keep it in my medicine cabinet... I recommend everyone who is lost and at a crossroads does the same. 🏆 🇬🇧

Great to see Ben and hear his heart. You're mom and dad are legends and will be remembered fondly. Thank you for sharing this. I hope you write a book about their lives.
The stolen bike story really speaks to what kind of person Jerry was. First, he was willing to run for blocks to chase someone and try and get his son's bike back. Then when he realized the situation of the kid who stole the bike, he let him keep it because he figured he needed it more than Ben did.
My father was good friends with Jerry Stiller...I’d like to think they’re somewhere having some good belly laughs with Joan, and Johnny, and the rest of the gang, watching all the madness unfold!
@@itamarbushari88 DAVID BRENNER COMEDY had a late night comedy show, and these comedians were his guests. DAVID BRENNER COMEDY seemed to have that New York accent as well.
Ben Stiller, Your Dad Jerry Would be So Proud of You for the Gorgeous Memories You shared with The World!! Rest Easy Jerry Stiller! Thank You So much for sharing Your Talent with Us All!
Anytime Jerry appeared on the screen, I felt joy. Jerry and Anne touched my heart in a way I can't explain. Good-hearted people through and through. The apple does not fall far from the tree, you are a beautiful human being Ben. Your open heart shines through. Godspeed Jerry. Stay safe Ben & family. 💞
The bike story reminded me of my son,actually two. The one time I hunted the kid down after my son saw him ride by as we were just driving on an errand.I hunted that mofo down! Prob cuz it was a motorcycle. The other kid.. yeah.. that kid left HIS bike which had a flat on the porch & took my son's crappy bike so he could get home....a couple towns away. When the cops got him,my son went to ID the bike & realized the one the pilferer left was way better than the 1 he had!! But ya know my son saved up his newspaper route for that bike. It was the principal.I didn't press charges n the cops were so mad.Eh..he was a kid trying to get home. Not good but I knew his parents would have to pick him up @ the station,so...figure that would be punishment enuf!
As the story went--((untold to the public)) Jerry did catch that boy and gave him such hell -- but the boy cried and said he never had a bike and not much money in the family to buy hm one-- so out of desperate want.. the boy knew it was wrong-- but he took the bike to ride on for a while.. the boy was scared and apologized and was so sorry for stealing... JERRY then made him promise to go straight and no more stealing.. work for what you want STORY and LET HIM KEEP THE BIKE>>>> what a smart Earth Angel Jerry was and IS.... God BLess Him--- He truly was a kind hearted man....
@@realitychick8903 I figured that would have been how it went. As a parent who's son has had two bikes stolen, if I could have caught the person, I can only hope that I would have come to my senses once I confronted the kid.. but if I'm honest, I don't think I would have at the time. I love that Jerry was obviously really pissed off to run the kid down, but then was able to let his better self rule the moment. The older I get, the more I realize how powerful the benefit of the doubt can be, but whether it was truely a transformative moment in the kid's life, we'll never know, but it clearly made a powerful lesson for Ben and parenting should be about that; not strategies for theft recovery. RIP Jerry Stiller.
A lovely, kind and so hilariously funny guy. He always honored his wife and family. Really sweet of Ben to share about his dad with all of us who felt we knew him a bit. Very generous of heart
I never thought of Jerry Stiller as "Ben's dad." He created some of the most memorable characters- every time he was in a scene on Seinfeld, I knew it was going to be hilarious. Same goes for when he played Arthur Spooner- the way he and Kevin James interacted during their scenes on the show- comedy gold.
Now i probably don't really know Jerry Stiller other than that character of his in Kings of Queens but I'm sure he's a kind hearted person and when he finally caught up with the kid who stole Ben's bike, it reminded him of himself when he was a poor kid before and he gave the bike to that poor kid. Sometimes we will never know a persons good deed until the person is gone. So lets think positive.
Praying for comfort to you and your family Ben Stiller. I love your parents. What a wonderful duo that blessed us with laughter. Ben, I'm also a big fan of yours too. ❤❤❤❤
Travis Jordan how is he a douchebag? Do you know him? Do you have ANY ground on we’re you standing or are you just another product of the cold rage that covers the world?
iBrusmaN I don’t know him, but I have seen his ‘work.’ Everything about him says “I’m a douche.” It has nothing to do with rage. He is a tool and Jerry Stiller and Fred Willard are comedy legends. He doesn’t belong in the same category as them.
Jerry Stiller always made me laugh when he was onscreen! I always suspected that he was also a good family man as well and Ben’s stories of him affirmed it. Rest In Peace, Mr Stiller.
As his son says here the great thing about his dad was that he never looked like he was gunning for laughs. It just flowed naturally. I don't any other comedian that never told a joke but cracked me up so much.
Those two stories Ben told of his dad really touched me. I'm about Ben's age & this was an era when kids were afraid of their dad. But those two stories show how much his dad loved him & was there for him.
I wanted to say but thought it inappropriate...Ben is hot with his grey hair and light frames. So different. ❤️ My condolences on his dad’s passing. He was a legend!
I’d really like to say I’m 58 and Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara Will always have a place in my heart. I remember growing up watching them on television doing their routines. Jerry Stiller stole every scene that he was in on Seinfeld. . It’s just how it was he just popped.”You want a piece of me”He was terrific.A Legend.Sorry for you loss Ben.He lived a long wonderful life.Very blessed
I know Seinfeld was known for it's memorable supporting characters, but I still can't believe Jerry Stiller was only in about 26 of them! I can't imagine the show without him
Both of his parents were icons...so funny. I also came from loving parents and after the second one passes, you feel so alone, like an orphan. Ben's parents made us all a little happier. I hope the memories of his parents gives him peace and many laughs. Time has a way of bringing those memories back which makes us all feel closer to those that are no longer here.
To see Ben Stiller with grey hair tells me how long his father got to watch him grow. Jerry Stiller lived a long life and got to see his children grow old. Thats beautiful. RIP Jerry Stiller. We love you.
Oh, Ben is so sweet to acknowledge the pain of others during this sad time for him and his family! I remember his parents on television when I was a little girl, and I loved them! My family was quite dysfunctional and scary at times, but the gift of laughter they brought into my life was so special! And to see a happily married couple together was so comforting. We knew their gifted, public selves; Ben and his family knew personal, private people. I am s happy they were all so blessed by each other,. Peace.
How nice it feels to learn that he was a great guy all around. And that story about the bike...💚 Committed to his family. Committed to his work. Brought laughter and joy to millions of people over many years. R.I.P. Jerry Stiller🙏
Jerry sounds like not only a dad, but a friend to his children. I loved hearing Ben’s stories. RIP Jerry. I know you’re happy to be reunited with the love of your life.
Good stuff, Jimmy. A nice forum with nothing but love. And Ben! You're a strong, kind son. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to reminisce with glassy eyes and wide smiles.
Jerry Stiller made so many of the shows he starred in. Could you imagine how boring king of queens would be without arthur?? Never would have went so long without him ❤️❤️
Nikki P I agree. Huge fan of both Seinfeld and King of Queens, and I think it’s mostly because of Jerry Stiller. Both shows would’ve just been ok without him.
What a talented family!!! They seem like such great people. Love watching all of them on tv. What a blessing to have been able to enjoy their comedy! God bless the Stiller family!
My Heart goes out to you and prayers for your family Ben. Truly thinking of you doing this difficult time. Your Dad was the best, a natural and made me along with millions laugh!😊💞
Ben has never looked better! The graying definitely works for him!! As for his dad- soooo much love for him, a class act and such comedic talent! There will never be another, he will be missed.
You could really see the bond between them, that’s so special to not only have a loving father but to have one that’s like your best friend. Loved watching Jerry in Seinfeld and king of queens. He had a long and happy and successful life and that’s a blessing, he can Rest In Peace now
Aww man those were great stories about your amazing Dad. It was his huge heart we all felt as we watched him. This made my day Ben & Jimmy. Thank you.❤️
The Stiller Family has always been a treasure in our hearts💜💜💜May he rest peacefully & smile upon the future memorial. Whenever it happens, it will be a beautiful tribute to a hysterical man! RIP Mr Stiller.💜

What a legend. Jerry was amazing. If we had a world full of Jerry Stillers the world would be full of love and laughter.
Love that he let the kid keep the bike because he needed more. That says everything about him
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. A true gentleman like his legendary Dad.
Your Mom and Dad are the Best your so blessed to have come into this world through them.
That bike story, tears of joy. What a special man, RIP and condolences to his family...
The world has lost a great actor who has delighted millions of people around the world. R.I.P. Jerry, we will miss you 😢
He sounds like an amazing guy and father.
Loved Jerry in King of Queens cracked me up every time will be missed R.I.P
Thanks for coming on and sharing nice memories about your dad Ben.
Dear Ben, your father and your mother were the greatest, they brought so much laughter and joy to so many people.Thank you
I know Seinfeld was known for it's memorable supporting characters, but I still can't believe Jerry Stiller was only in about 26 of them! I can't imagine the show without him
Both of his parents were icons...so funny. I also came from loving parents and after the second one passes, you feel so alone, like an orphan. Ben's parents made us all a little happier. I hope the memories of his parents gives him peace and many laughs. Time has a way of bringing those memories back which makes us all feel closer to those that are no longer here.
To see Ben Stiller with grey hair tells me how long his father got to watch him grow. Jerry Stiller lived a long life and got to see his children grow old. Thats beautiful. RIP Jerry Stiller. We love you.
This was so heartwarming & hilarious! I love hearing stories of good parenting and people who lead by example. 💕 R.I.P. Jerry Stiller. 💝
Such a sweet family. Hugs to them. Thanks for the laughs, both Mr. Stillers.
Oh, Ben is so sweet to acknowledge the pain of others during this sad time for him and his family!
I remember his parents on television when I was a little girl, and I loved them! My family was quite dysfunctional and scary at times, but the gift of laughter they brought into my life was so special! And to see a happily married couple together was so comforting.
We knew their gifted, public selves; Ben and his family knew personal, private people. I am s happy they were all so blessed by each other,. Peace.
How nice it feels to learn that he was a great guy all around. And that story about the bike...💚 Committed to his family. Committed to his work. Brought laughter and joy to millions of people over many years. R.I.P. Jerry Stiller🙏
Peace to Jerry Stiller and his family. Love the show Jimmy thanks for sharing your gift of talent.
Ben, so beautiful what you and your parents have shared through out your life times. Humor heals and that’s your family’s legacy. God Bless.
Thanks for talking about him, we all loved him. 💗 Sending hugs and condolences to you and your family. 🌷💗
Jerry sounds like not only a dad, but a friend to his children. I loved hearing Ben’s stories. RIP Jerry.
I know you’re happy to be reunited with the love of your life.
I am sorry for your family's loss as well as friends and fans of your dad, Ben. Thank you for sharing.
Good stuff, Jimmy. A nice forum with nothing but love. And Ben! You're a strong, kind son. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to reminisce with glassy eyes and wide smiles.
Love to the Stiller family 🌻
Love your dad and mom! I grew up with them! Prayers to you and your family.
Love Ben and Jerry ❤️
Let him keep the bike...
The last comment by Ben - wow...That brought tears to my eyes. Blessings to you and your family as you grieve. He was a very funny man, loved by many.
Jerry Stiller made so many of the shows he starred in. Could you imagine how boring king of queens would be without arthur?? Never would have went so long without him ❤️❤️
Nikki P I agree. Huge fan of both Seinfeld and King of Queens, and I think it’s mostly because of Jerry Stiller. Both shows would’ve just been ok without him.
Ben Stiller is just so lovely, intelligent and genuine. One of my all-time favorites, as was his dad.
Ben thanks for sharing your memories I share your loss and your Dad would have been pleased. Hug.
R.I.P. Jerry Stiller he truly was one of a kind & he will missed by millions & millions of his fans, freinds, & family.
I think it’s a beautiful thing that he felt comfortable enough to call his dad under those circumstances. It really says a lot.
Jerry Stiller is resting in peace. He achieved the absolute serenity now.
Ben Stiller is a good guy.
What a talented family!!! They seem like such great people. Love watching all of them on tv. What a blessing to have been able to enjoy their comedy! God bless the Stiller family!
My Heart goes out to you and prayers for your family Ben. Truly thinking of you doing this difficult time. Your Dad was the best, a natural and made me along with millions laugh!😊💞
Ben has never looked better! The graying definitely works for him!! As for his dad- soooo much love for him, a class act and such comedic talent! There will never be another, he will be missed.
Stiller and Meara Legends!
Deepest condolences to #BenStiller and his family. An honest and endearing interview between two good guys and friends. Thanks, I needed this.
I love Ben Stiller's gray hair.. It makes him look younger.,
No
Younger?
@@yinyang6566 yes, younger. that dark hair dye is a joke
wtf that makes no sense dude
I agree. I think he looks awesome..
Ben Stiller, so touching, so human, a star who knows where he came from.
You could really see the bond between them, that’s so special to not only have a loving father but to have one that’s like your best friend. Loved watching Jerry in Seinfeld and king of queens. He had a long and happy and successful life and that’s a blessing, he can Rest In Peace now
Aww man those were great stories about your amazing Dad. It was his huge heart we all felt as we watched him. This made my day Ben & Jimmy. Thank you.❤️
Thank you, Ben. Great to hear your stories about your dad.
Great interview. I love all of the Stillers!!
Ah Ben, we’ll miss your dad so much. He was the best! God bless you.
