ICON DEAD. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing

Famous comedian and actor Martin Mull has died at the age of 80, according to his family.

According to Maggie Mull, Mull’s daughter, her father died at home “after a valiant fight against a long illness.” Maggie wrote this on Instagram.

“He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials,” the writer said.

“That joke would be funny for him.” He was funny all the time. My dad was loved by many, including his wife and daughter, his friends and coworkers, other artists, comedians, and musicians, and, especially, many, many dogs. I so loved him so much.”
