James Earl Jones was as iconic as they come, as well as just a wonderful guy. I had occasion to work with him several times and couldn't believe how kind and thoughtful he was. I know his passing comes as a shock to us all. Although he was 93, that voice and his mere presence has been as much a piece of Americana as the proverbial apple pie. Most of us perceived his presence as an entitlement - something that would always be there, which is why it hurts that much more now. RIP James Earl Jones!

The honorary Oscar recipient and two-time Tony winner overcame a stutter to stand out in such films as 'The Great White Hope,' 'The Lion King,' 'Field of Dreams' and 'The Sandlot.'

We lost James Darren, a real legend, today. I ran across him several times while working sound for charities. What a great and gracious guy. My condolences to his entire family, and his son Jim Moret in particular. RIP James!

The 'Time Tunnel' star also was a pop singer and a crooning hologram on 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.'

Phil Donahue was an American treasure who literally defined the modern daytime talk show, before Ellen or even Oprah, Phil was a staple of practically every afternoon television viewer's schedule. A wonderful man who wasn't afraid to ask questions that interested his audience. He married Danny Thomas's daughter Marlo Thomas (That Girl) and the two have lived so very happy ever since. I met Phil on several occasions and thought he was such a decent and caring person. My condolences to Marlo and the rest of Phil's family! RIP Phil!

The 11-time Daytime Emmy winner presided over his program for 29 years and forged a path for Oprah Winfrey and others to follow.

Bob Newhart was an incredibly funny man, who mastered records and television. He lost his wife Ginnie last year, best friend Don Rickles in 2017 and Don's wife, Barbara in 2021. The two couples vacationed together and were famous for their deep, close and personal friendship. Bob was the last one standing and now leaves to join his wife, best friend and his wife. Say hi to Don for me Bob. At least I don't have to hear his insult back at me! RIP Bob Newhart!

A former accountant, he became an overnight sensation with the release of a 1960 live comedy album, then starred in a pair of fabled CBS sitcoms.

From our CEO, Kim Richards:
Martin Mull was such a great guy. Yes, very funny as any character he portrayed but naturally and instinctively funny in person. Martin made you enjoy life with his quick wit and kind nature. We lost an incredible talent and more importantly, one of the kindest people who ever lived. My condolences to Wendy, Maggie and all who knew and loved him. RIP Martin!

He made you laugh in 'Clue,' 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,' 'Roseanne' and 'Arrested Development' and with songs like "Ventriloquist Love."

Wow, this is a huge blow to Los Angeles entertainment news. Sam was a great guy who got the inside story without making enemies or being insensitive. We'll miss you Sam! My condolences to his wife, children and family. RIP Sam!

The anchor has been with the network since 1991.

This hits particularly hard. I worked with Tommy Smothers repeatedly over the years, as we both donated our time and money to various charities. Tommy was one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever known. Although I can't say I know his brother Dick particularly well, I've met him several times and know this is devastating to him and the whole family. In what must have been a very tough blow, Tommy lost his namesake son Thomas earlier this year. My sincere condolences to Dick, Tommy's surviving children, Bo and Riley Rose; grandson Phoenix; and sister-in-law Marie. Rest In Power Tommy!

He and his brother, Dick, "turned television upside down" on 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour' before they were canned.
