Harry
Anderson, best known for his roles on television's "Night Court" and
"Dave's World," was one of the busiest and highest paid magicians on the
comedy circuit before becoming an international TV star. Performing as
"Harry the Hat," he toured the United States, developing a fantastic act
and a huge following.
 On television, he played wacky Manhattan judge Harold
T. Stone on NBC's "Night Court" for its entire nine-season run from 1984
until 1992. Millions of viewers made this politically incorrect
courtroom farce their guilty pleasure, as the show racked up twenty-nine
Emmy nominations, four Emmy Awards, and consistent ratings wins in its
time slot.
From
1993 until 1997, Harry Anderson starred in CBS' hit sitcom
"Dave's World." He played
Dave Barry, a Pulitzer prize winning columnist
who is dealing with his life in the suburbs with his wife and two sons.
Anderson's television credits include hosting the
Discovery Channel's television special "The Science of Magic" (1997),
starring in PMP Productions' "Harvey" (1996) and Warner Brothers'
production of Stephen King's "It," and playing Peter Piper in "Mother
Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme" (1990). He has made notable guest appearances on
such shows as "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," "Night
Stand," "Saturday Night Live" and "Cheers."
Harry Anderson hosted the annual FOX-TV
specials "Oops: The World's Funniest Outtakes." He continues to perform
magic on the comedy circuit and emcee magicians conventions. His is the
author of a book about magic entitled "Harry Anderson's Games You Can't
Lose: A Guide For Suckers" (Pocket Books, 1989).
