Eddie Haskell is one of the most hilarious television characters of all time. Nobody could have played him better than Ken did.

Him being typecast is indicative of the amazing acting job he did in that role. Like Brando IS Don Corleone, Ken Osmond IS Eddie Haskel. He should be proud of that. Not many actors get to nail a role like that.

What a squared away well spoken man...even wounded in the line of duty...and to think he played Eddie Haskell...I have such fond memories of that show as a kid.

This guy was and still is AWESOME!!!

As the Leave it to Beaver series progressed, Kenny's sassy (and even his sycophantic) delivery got better and better. He's still a breath of fresh air.

Ken Osmond had the most complicated and challenging role to play and did so well we all believed it.

one of the greatest characters in TV history.

Thank you, Ken Osmond, for bringing us so much joy on Leave it to Beaver, and living such a great life! Rest in peace.

Eddie Haskell. The punk everybody loved to hate. Ken Osmond did fantastic acting performance portraying the character.

love him. it's nice to see he turned out to be such an honorable and upstanding citizen. far from what people would assume from his Eddie Haskell portrayal. just makes you realize what a fine actor he really was/is.

So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Osmond but if I had, I would have said thanks for being a part of my youth. Thankyou for the laughs, and most of all, God Bless! Just one of the greats of his time. Rest in peace, Ken. And thanks again.

Loved when he would call Wally 'Gertrude'. Like "Take it easy Gertrude" and then the classic Eddie laugh. One of the best characters in tv history. Obviously he got typecast because he played the part brilliantly.

RIP Ken Osmond....Thank you for entertaining so many different generations.

He was so good at playing the two-face kid, so sweet and charming around the adults yet so mischievous with the other kids.

Loved everything about that show. The 50's was probably my favorite decade and definitely the most innocent decade and a great time to be a child.

I love Eddie Haskell! He was the best trouble maker on T.V. that never did any harm to anyone! Ken Osmond was very entertaining as Eddie Haskell!

Loved the Eddie Haskell character..perfect match for Tony Dow's Wally.

Ken Osmond left a legacy with his Eddie Haskell character. It was endearing.

a true legend & gentleman. r.i.p. Ken Osmond, your memory is a blessing to those of us who grew up with you.

One of the best child actors I've ever seen. Played Eddie Haskell really well; a real natural. I think everyone knew an "Eddie" growing up, lol.

Eddie was the main reason I watched "the Beaver".

RIP Ken "Eddie Haskell" Osmond. You were a great man.

He was the Classic Creep but in a good funny way! Thanks for the laughs Ken. You will be missed! Condolences to the Osmond family.🙏

KO as Eddie Haskell often stole the show, with his beatnik quips and short shots from the era. Everybody wanted more Eddie back in the day!

He is such a wise guy!! Boy mrs cleaver that's a very nice dress you are wearing today

RIP Mr. Osmond. Thanks for the memories.

RIP Ken Osmond and thank you for your service to the citizens of Los Angeles where you served on the LAPD.

Whenever I see reruns of Beaver, I am so happy when I see "Eddie." My parents loved the show. I wish I had been around to see it when it was a popular show.

NO ONE on television played their part better than Ken Osmond. I was born in 1949 and "Leave It To Beaver" was one of my favorite shows. I've heard rumors that when the show was cancelled in 1963 there was talk of a 'Eddie Haskell' spin-off, but for some reason it didn't come to fruition. Too bad too because it probably would have been a big hit. Just about everyone in the country knew 'Eddie', and most of 'em couldn't get enough of his character.

RIP Eddie: June 7, 1943, May 18, 2020. Thanks for the great moments growing up.

Two enduring television icons: Bill O'Reilly and Ken Osmond. It would be great if O'Reilly returned to prime time television. RIP Ken Osmond.

Great memories from my childhood!

I just got his book (EDDIE). & I loved it! He was so open! I loved Eddie and totally respect Ken! GREAT READ!

You notice how the boys always address everyone as Mister or Misses,, that's the why it was back in the 50's when i was a kid.

LITB was one of the greatest TV programs in history, it captured America at that era perfectly, like the movie American Graffiti it captured a time that will never be seen again, Mr. Haskell portrayed Eddie perfectly, everyone knew someone like him in school, love live Leave it to Beaver, I still watch the reruns when they are on !!

As someone else alluded to, EVERYONE knew an Eddie Haskell growing up. "Hey Wally, no way is your little squirt brother coming to the movies with us......oh, hello Mrs. Cleaver! I was just telling Wallace now nice it would be if Theodore could come to the movies with us." Priceless.

He is a living America childhood legend, because everyone growing up in America know a friend like Eddie Haskell. May he rest in peace.

not to sound creepy, but Ken Osmond is still so handsome, he aged really well! He looks exactly the same. Ken was also in an episode of the Munsters! He played a frat boy, he was so cute. He was soooooo cute during his younger years, there's a kid I grew up with that is totally his twin, needless to say, everyone had the biggest crush on him all throughout grade school!

What a shame Frank Bank "Lumpy" passed away five years after this aired.

He was on an episode of Happy Days as a teacher who acted like a grown up Eddie. He was hilarious.

I loved his character. he was so sneaky and underhanded. it's unfortunate that he couldn't get more work.

He still seems like like one of the guys.

I'm glad Ken Osmond cleared something up in this interview. I just very recently read that when he was in the LAPD he was struck by five bullets. But, he said here it was only three bullets.

Ken Osmond's Eddie Haskell was way ahead of his time....While every other character on the show was typical 50's/60's goody goody two shoes. Eddie was much more relatable as a wise-cracking, prankster...He was by far the most beloved character apart from the Cleaver family...He was one of a kind, and has never been duplicated since....RIP Ken!

Thank you for all the genuine entertainment. Ppl love you, Ken.

I always was thrilled by how Eddie was always so polite to Ward and June and such a wise guy to beaver and his friends loved leave it to beaver and I have the complete collection of the show on DVD, Rip Ken osmond Eddie Haskell will be loved forever

Ken Osmond Was GREAT! ---> as (Eddie Haskell [One Of the Greatest TV Characters Of All Time] from Leave it to Beaver)

A true American Icon. Too bad Hollywood typecast him, who knows how great his acting career could have lasted.

Everyone went to high school with at least one Eddie Haskell. Ken Osmond brought us so much laughter.

Wow. He grew up to be a good looking guy!

R.I.P to a TV icon. Ken Osmond will be seriously missed.

Articulate, well-preserved, and sooo diplomatically good-looking...12 years later 2021 hoping all is still well with Ken O.👵🎈

"that is a lovely dress you are wearing today Mrs. Cleaver." "thaaank you Eddie."

What a fantastic role....he def played it perfectly. The best shows were always those where he was scheming...

eddie haskell made the show. leave it to beaver is on me tv weekday mornings. 2 episodes back to back. 8-9 am.

Ken is someone I would have enjoyed meeting. RIP sir.

Goodbye Eddie we love you ! The O Reily show ! Ken Osmond you will always be remembed!

He was a wonderful actor. Loved how he would call Wally “Clyde”, “Gertrude”, etc. There was a touching episode where Eddie moved into his own apartment. He acted like he was living the high life, but his place was a mess and he was lonely and got a dog. Lurene Tuttle played his concerned landlady.

I allways enjoyed Eddies character on the show. He really made it fun to see all the pranks he would pull on everybody. Without his character the show would have been to dull and 50s. But all the actors really did a fantastic job. Always saddened not to see them on TV after the show ended. Big mistake by Hollywood in my opinion.

Super nice guy! Met him in the 90`s.Great with kids.

just seeing this clip I remember when this originally aired always been a Ken Osmond AKA Eddie Haskell fan but I do miss Bill O'Reilly I'll say that I missed the show!!!!!

R.i.p Ken Osmond great legend

Hollywood missed out, typecasting a fantastic actor. Other events, in every other circle, took advantage of his remarkable talent.

Oh !! How sad I am it was one of my favorite program for years I would not miss it , I was about fifteen when I use to wait to begin watching all the family and I do remember Him very well .resthe in Peace.

Eddie looks damn good!!

he was a wise ass on th show. But you can see in real life he is filled with gratitude and humility. Rest in peace when you are ready "Eddie"

Big fan here. Played the wise guy perfectly and convincingly. At times, I'd feel sorry for him. He was the guy in the group who had nothing to contribute, so he'd do anything to get noticed.

Thank You for the entertainment of my years growing up! R.I.P. Mr. Osmond

Maybe the BEST supporting actor in the history of television. Thank you Ken. RIP!

If the show had run a little longer Eddie (Ken Osmond) more than likely would have had a spin off of his own show. It's a sin he didn't. It would have been a big hit. It wasn't until the 70's where there were spin off of shows. Not taking anything away from the others but Eddie made that show what it was.

Who's here after hearing about Ken Osmonds/Eddie Haskels recent death?

I was born in 1971 and I love "Leave It To Beaver". Watched the reruns as a kid.

@NCISFAN1954 I met Ken a few years ago. Really nice guy. He and Frank Bank were at an antiques show in Tacoma WA. I had my camera with me and got some pictures of the three of us together.

The coolest dude in Heaven.

One of the best shows of all time. I wish I were one of the guys giving Lumpy the business.

I am so happy that Eddie continued to be successful. I miss him when he isnt on the episode. He makes me smile and when he is peeping out the window at his house, it is so sweet. We get to see the side of Eddie who is timid and precious. Thank you so very much! Ken, you will always be a star in that cast! I watch it every day and buy it on apple 🍏 so i always can watch. I am 71 and you and the whole show make me laugh more than ever! Thank you for being so great an Actor!!!❤ always … Cheri B

He had to be a phenomenal actor to be able to play that role so well. What makes a good actor is when you can't tell their acting and he had it.

Wow! Been meaning to look at this. I watch LITB everyday. Wow.

Eddie Haskell kept me in stitches. TV Land use to play re-runs of the show but I haven't seen an episode in years. They need to go back to their original format and show all the 1950's sitcoms.

What a great man AND a true American Hero.

We love Eddie Haskell/Ken Osmond... he played his part to perfection!

I would've liked to see Ken get into the Eddie persona for a minute. Just for kicks.

Thank you Ken for providing me with so many laughs as a kid, I still watch Beaver today and relate to Eddie. I'm sorry that you got type cast, but surely understand how it happened. The show provided me with such a comforting escape from a troubled childhood. I still remember getting angry with the parents asking why they couldn't be more like the Cleavers, they usually responded with something like "why can't you kids be more like Wally and Beaver".... Thanks again, your hard work meant a lot to so many, please say hi to "Lumpy" also, he was great as well.

Rest in Peace Ken Osmond. Deepest condolences to Sandy, Eric and Christian.

Eddie Haskel is awesome so is ken!!

Ill always remember Eddie Haskell. Great actor.

RIP Ken Osmond ✝️😢 👼🏽 🙏

GREAT SHOW!! NEVER get tired of watching it!! ALWAYS LOVE seeing it!!

I think we all have a little "Eddie" in all of us. What a super man.

"Eddie" turned out to be the best looking one of the bunch.

It's neat to see Ken Osmond again, unfortunately, I had to see O'Reilly in the process.

One of the best sit com guys ever

I believe the reason the Eddie character was so successful is that he was believable. Every kid knew someone at least a bit like Eddie. He was a smoozing, wise-ass, duplicitous, selfish charmer - but a VERY funny one. I'm sure Eddie must have gone into sales!

R.I.P. Ken. Truly an icon!

He was loved and still is.

Simply put, a good man.

That was the best , character on the show

When O'Reilly thanked him for being on, Osmond should have said, "Oh, thank you very much Mr. O'Reilly!"

LOVED ME SOME EDDIE GREAT ACTOR NAILED THE LINES GOD BLESS

Jerry always said Eddie was the best actor because real life Ken Osmond was completely opposite of Eddie. Brilliant, and completely believable.
