Crashbox

He never voiced any announcer on Crashbox. As far as I can figure, they think he voices the "Poop or Scoop" announcer, who is actually actor Danny Wells. Their voices sound somewhat similar, but not similar enough to be confused for each other.

Are you sure you want this article to say this?

With Jerry's death this morning, do you really think that the suggestion that he's "best known" for being someone's father is correct? He was a comedian long before Ben, and his acting roles show that he's best known for his own work. I am not personally going to change it, but I'm sure someone watches this page and will adjust. After all, being "someone's father" does not make someone notable according to your rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.72.163.253 (talk) 10:36, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It appears to have been fixed. -- Zanimum (talk) 19:06, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

The choice of photos looks terrible. The one in the infobox is painfully obviously cropped from the Stiller and Meara photo about eight inches below it in the text—you can even see part of her signature. If another appropriate pic of him isn't available (hard to believe), it would be better simply to put the S&M photo in the infobox and caption it something like "Stiller with his long-time comedy partner and wife, Ann Meara".--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This also appears to have been fixed. -- Zanimum (talk) 19:07, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Years active

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Jerry Stiller. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Can his years active ending date be changed to 2016?

His last roles in movies and television were in that year. MikaelaArsenault (talk) 20:32, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
