American-born Canadian comedy legend Joe Flaherty has died after a short illness. He was 82 years old. American audiences might know him best as Happy Gilmore's heckler, or Big Bird's co-kidnapper, or as Mr. Weir from "Freaks and Geeks." Canadian viewers and comedy nerds will more likely recognize him from SCTV, or as Jennifer Tilly's long-suffering dad in the cult classic The Wrong Guy.
