Jim Dial from Murphy Brown, and Beth Howland's widower.
He died nearly a month ago. What’s with the late announcements on several recent deaths?

R1 It must be a family thing - you may recall they waited 6 months to announce Beth Howland's death.

Awww. That’s a shame.
I loved his On the Road series where he traveled everywhere and reported back.
*sigh*

Was he in the reboot Murphy Brown?

R14 He did a cameo in one episode, but wasn’t a regular.

Died last month, just being reported...wife's death took 6 months to report...
Hmmmm, something smells real fishy here.
I bet those 2 cents owed money to the government so they skipped out of the country and filed phony death certificates once it was safe and assets were transferred to a Swiss bank account.

Something sounds fishy with the kid.
I thought he was in a few episodes of the MB reboot. He had to pretend to want to fuck Tyne Daly and he should have been given the Emmy right then and there!

I met him several times over the years, starting back in his Sunday in the Park with George days. He was a very sweet man. RIP, Mr. K.

Don't forget how Beth's TV husband (AKA Coco) died.

At his memorial service, someone should do Beth's straws bit using a bouquet of white lilies. An "homage."

R16 In the NYT obituary for Howland, Kimbrough said he was following Howland's wishes:
[quote] Beth Howland, who made high anxiety an art form as the ditsy, accident-prone waitress Vera Louise Gorman on the 1970s and ’80s sitcom “Alice,” died on Dec. 31, 2015, in Santa Monica, Calif., her husband said on Tuesday. He had refrained from announcing her death earlier in keeping with her wishes. She was 74. The cause was lung cancer, her husband, the actor Charles Kimbrough, said, adding that she had not wanted a funeral or a memorial service. “It was the Boston side of her personality coming out,” Mr. Kimbrough said. “She didn’t want to make a fuss.”

He had a tiny role as a furniture salesman at Bloomingdale's with Jill Clayburgh and Burt Reynolds, leading up to the funniest scene in "Starting Over."
RIP
