 May 20, 2020      Andrew Buss      Ben Stiller, News, The Tonight Show    

Last Monday, we got word that comedian/actor Jerry Stiller has passed away after Ben Stiller shared the news on his Twitter. Already scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show, Ben Stiller used this as an opportunity to share some sweet stories about his father.

Some of these stories include the time his dad chased down the kid that stole his bike, “second acting” his first Broadway play as an actor, his father talking him down from a bad acid trip, growing up in New York, and getting to play Charades with his parents and Jimmy Fallon.

Check out the interview up at the top of the page. Additionally, below is the game of Charades that Ben Stiller got to play with his parents, Jerry Stiller, Ann Meara, and Jimmy Fallon.
