Alan Sues was the funniest person I’ve ever known. Not just as a performer, but as a person.

• Ruth Buzzi, castmate from Laugh-In.

When Alan dressed like me in curls, a boa, a dress and false eyelashes, he looked better than me.

• Jo Anne Worley, castmate from Laugh-In.

Alan was so deeply, so genuinely funny that to just think of him makes me laugh.

• Barbara Sharma, castmate from Laugh-In.

We all know how funny and bright Alan Sues was. What was more amazing to me was the sincere sweetness in his heart. He truly wanted to hand the whole world a big laugh.

• Joyce Van Patten, actress.

Alan was a true comedy original.

• Fred Willard, actor.

Alan was a very talented performer who everyone loved having around. He was hilarious. He was always funny, even when he wasn’t trying to be.

• Gary Owens, castmate from Laugh-In.

Alan was a delight, a real upper. He was a happy force field of energy who had an outrageous look at life. He could take a straight line and make it funny as hell.

• George Schlatter, Exec. Prod. of Laugh-In.
