Comedy veteran Jerry Stiller, who launched his career opposite wife Anne Meara in the 1950s and reemerged four decades later as the hysterically high-strung Frank Costanza on the smash television show "Seinfeld," has died. He was 92.

I knew him as Arthur Spooner from King Of Queens. He was probably my favorite part of that show, just because of how absolutely insane he was.

I thought he was funnier as Arthur Spooner than he was as George's dad, but he played essentially the same character in both shows.

He was the only watchable part of King of Queens, IMHO.

The early seasons were pretty good. Later on, the vitriol between Kevin James and Leah Remini's characters got a bit too much. It was like their relationship just entirely became throwing insults at each other. Kevin James had some great lines though.
