I was called onto stage for the first time.
I loved this guy so much.
He was one of my first friends when I got to New York to do SNL.

A master at crowd work.

Richard Belzer was the first actor to welcome me when I started at SVU.
Open, warm, acerbic, whip smart, surprisingly kind.
I loved writing for Munch, and I loved being with Belz.
We sensed this would be his parting scene.
I wake up to the news I lost my friend today.
But remember this..When you ARE having real fun and are Truly Happy.
ENJOY it to the fullest!
Cause Pain is inevitably coming.
His passing is truly a loss for Hollywood and I will miss him dearly.
RIP Richard Belzer.pic.twitter.com/oI4PzLr04I

Sad and shocked to hear that Richard Belzer is gone.
We became friends while co-hosting the World Travel Awards in Barbados.
He was one of the funniest and nicest people in this industry.
He had a wicked wit and cracked me up on stage.
