Suzanne Somers mistakenly assumed that she was the star of the show playing the ditzy blond. She found out eventually that she was replaceable. John Ritter was the star of Threes Company and could not be replaced. Everyone watched the show because Jack made them laugh. John Ritter was a comedic powerhouse that everyone loved.

pps: my sister was an RN in the ER Dept at the hospital where John passed. She wasn’t on duty at the time, she had just moved out of state. But what she did understand by her coworkers, was that he came in with a torn and hemorrhaging aorta, which is and can be suddenly fatal, as it was in John’s case. This is very different from typical “heart attack” symptoms which are often overlooked and sadly ignored, when time is of the essence. His widow’s grief is certainly understandable, but when he came in, there wasn’t much they could do, with the blood loss and damage (especially thinking it was food poisoning all day on the set). Very, very sad case, and the whole staff felt it. He was known to the hospital and well liked.

For someone so famous I expected that there would be a more grand memorial . Im glad to see the high school picked up the slack. He was a great comic.

Such a sad sad day this was. I was working at Universal Studios at the time and I remember it was like Time stood still... Everyone around was on edge to hear his outcome... I remember you can hear the ambulance from our back lot while they rushed him to the Hospital... He was just a born natural to do slap stick Comedy just like Lucille Ball... Truly missed but never forgotten 💛

I had the honor of skiing w/ John’s older brother in our handicapped ski program at Pierce College in the 80’s. I was a blind and handicapped ski instructor, and we took his brother up on the beginners slope at Mountain High. Although physically he struggled, but he did well, and we hoped that his balance was helped with our working with him. Im very grateful to him for helping me propel into my career as a physical therapist. A true gentleman who stood tall by his perseverance!

Back in 2003 i was supposed to go to LA and attend a live taping of "8 simple rules" and I was so excited because I had always been a huge fan of John Ritter since I was a kid and now I was gonna see him in person! But then I got an e-mail about a week before the taping that said that live taping was cancelled because John Ritter had passed away - I was about as dissapointed as you can get - John Ritter was a great beacon of light and a comedic genius that was taken from us way too early - now I'll be singing the theme from Three's Company all day long - Come on knock on our door...

John Ritter was a comic genius.

That is hard to believe that John Ritter has been gone since 2003. I always enjoyed watching him whether it was on TV or the movies. Even my father after he retired could not get enough of Three's Company reruns and watched it daily. What a lovable guy taken too soon. I loved his epitaph on his gravestone how fitting for him. With a torn aorta, isn't that was killed Princess Diana? not sure anything could have been done to help him survive that. Rest in peace John you are loved and missed by many. And yes I can see the resemblance of your Dad and John Ritter.

I LOVED John Ritter--I cried when I heard he had passed . this was a special vlog to me--thank you for this gift to us !!!

Jordan, this is where you shine! great vlog and OMG your dad does looks like John!!

When my son was really little, the first time he laughed at something on tv, it was There's Company.

I just had to LOL when Jordan said that John Ritter wanted to be a baseball player or a politician but he really wanted to be a liar so he became an actor. The reason I laughed is, well politician. ..Hello??!

Love John and Three's Company. Getting misty eyed while you're talking about him at his grave. :-( Such a comic genius lost too soon.

His role in Slingblade is amazing. Such a versatile actor, thanks for sharing this. Great video

I Was Once Told Hero's Always Die And Legends Are Never Forgotten.. R.I.P John Ritter.

Very touching tribute to John Ritter. He is one of my favorite actors that I grew up watching.

Jah is so cute and determined to be the leader of the pack. He walks with purpose like a BOSS! Thanks again for another very informative and entertaining vlog. Best wishes from Niagara Falls Canada. 😎

Three’s company was my favorite show growing up!! John Ritter was incredible!!!

I watched Threes Company after school every day. Thank you Mr Ritter for keeping me off the streets and out of the pool halls.

Thanks for the wonderful tribute to John Ritter. 💙

John Ritter and Dorothy Stratten were so adorable in "They All Laughed"..one of my all time favorite movies.

Beautifully done. RIP John Ritter.

This one was touching. Your affection for John is apparent. He deserves this kind and sincere remembrance.

OH man, I grew up watching John Ritter on Threes Company and all those shows that he guess starred on. You were trying to think of the other show you were surprised to see him on and I was talking to the iPad and saying, "MASH!". He played the crazy guy that almost killed Burns. Seemed like a great guy. I never watched 8 Simple Rules, but loved everything else he was in. That was a great tribute Jordan. He was taken way to early.

Well, I found myself both tearing up and smiling throughout this vlog. Jah helped the smiles win out. You did a very nice job covering the life of comedy great John Ritter. I saw him at Disneyland once promoting his show on ABC. He looked so approachable, yet larger than life. Thanks Jordan. Great work!

TFS! Great tribute to a great actor! 👍👍👍🤗 give that chocolate hunk of adorable Jah a belly rub!!!

I loved John Ritter. He died on my birthday which is his daughters birthday. His wife wrote a book on grief which changed my life and helped me overcome severe ptsd about my birthday.

It’s crazy he’s been gone for so long now. He seemed like a lovely person.

Ok, this adventure made me cry.

he carried on a family tradition of stardom , his dad being Tex Ritter. country singer.

I loved john ritter so much! I was in 9th grade when he passed and i litreally can still remember crying at school when i found out 😢

Awesome vlog today, Ritter was a great comedian, and his characters were so believable, even in rather silly situations. Sad his death was not prevented, his pretty wife has never remarried. It's been 15 years, time sure flies. Jah was so cute today, thanks for sharing all you do with us.

Three's Company was in it's first run when I was a child less than 10. My parents and grandparents, who were the people with whom I spent the bulk of my time, did not care for the show and felt it was "dirty", or at least that is how they tried to explain it to me with my limited vocabulary. I realize now the show was pushing the boundaries of time period and my family was uncomfortable with the sexual jokes and undertones. For years, I felt John Ritter was a "dirty" man, which I realized after seeing an interview where another actor praised Ritter in my late teen years was an opinion I had accepted, but was not my opinion because I knew nothing about the man. For me, John Ritter is my personal example of a rule I live by: Do Not Blindly Accept the Opinions of Others as Your Own

John Ritter is fantastic! I just watched his work in the original It movie. And I catch Three's Company whenever I can too. Great vlog!

John Ritter sure was a slapstick comedian. I remember having to watch Three's Company every weekday that it came on T.V. The whole cast was great!

Mr. Ritter was one of my favorites as a kid ..I loved when he would fall over the couch on "Three's Company" such a great show plus I had a huge crush on Krissy. Also loved him in "PROBLEM CHILD".😂 "come and knock on my door..we've been waiting for you..😁Great job bro..this is really cool! RIP JOHN

I forgot to mention my Mother met John's father, Tex Ritter, in Austin Texas in the late 1950s & was so impressed with him that she talked about it for years.

Loved John Ritter, Thanks for another excellent post!

Wow your dad does look like John! My mom liked the neighbor on Three's Company and I liked John. LOVED him in Sling Blade. So sad when he died. I watched his new show and loved it. Great vlog, and give the Jahster loves and hugs from me!

Great vlog Jordan! Such a terrible thing that happened to John Ritter. He will be missed. Rest in Peace!. Such a good, funny and well liked person.

A very good vlog Jordan. I loved John Ritter and was heartbroken when I heard he had passed away. You gave a good tribute to him. 🌻

💋You never fail to deliver great vlogs! Your respect, editing and cinematography is great! Thank you for being true to who you are. An original! Your signature style is excellent. I just adore you. Sincerely, I am a true fan. Blessings to u Jordan and ofcourse Jah! Also to your channel. Love and Light 💖Carli

Happy to learn that three of my favorite slap stick comedians were laid to rest in Forest Lawn. The great John Ritter is still in a three’s company situation, as far as I’m concerned, with Laurel and Keaton. I first saw him as a minister in The Waltons. He never disappointed with whatever role, dramatic or comedic, he took on. Once, he turned in a fantastic performance in an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Thanks for the tribute to an excellent actor and a wonderful human being!

Lovely vlog and loved John Ritter , a great talent taken away too soon .

To this day Jack Tripper’s dialogue colors conversation between my siblings and I. I had the rare pleasure of exchanging a smile and a hello with him at mall food court mere months before his death. What a loss, the laughs continue.

Just started watching your channel a few weeks ago and I’m really impressed with your content. Pure entertainment. Great job. 👍🏻

John Ritter had such great charisma. Loved watching Three's Company because of him. Didn't know he was on the dating game. Great vlog. I loved seeing Señor Jah!❤

Always a fan of his. Thanks for all your videos. One day I'll make it to California and hopefully see all this

His physical comedy set him apart from his peers, great episode/tribute!

John was a comedic genius. I own the entire series of Three's Company. That's in the top 3 funniest sitcoms ever for me.

Ritter: German word: Knight Knights Knighthood:Food for thought

that was very nice and a wonderful tribute to Ritter's memory. now on knowing more about J.R. and his long history with and within Hollywood he seems even more extraordinary that he "never went Hollywood." he was unique.

Very interesting! I didn't know about his appearance on the dating game.

Wow, no kidding, your dad looks just like John Ritter! I would watch Threes Company as a kid in the 80's and definitely remember him in Problem Child. Seems like he was such a nice guy and so young to pass and the way he did. Great vlog as always, thanks Jordan.

My guy was on his way to work one morning....and said....how could you forget that day.The Bob and Tom show out of Indianapolis,Indiana....reported that John Ritter and Johnny Cash both died the same day.Two great people...!!

I have to say John Ritter must be one of these Actors I whom I’ll always miss seeing on TV and gone to soon- just like Robin Williams. I simply loved him! He had such a strong aura and voice! May both Rest In Peace. 👼🏼🙏🏼

I grew up watching John Ritter as a kid in the 70s. I remember he played the minister on the Waltons and then later Three's Company. It is amazing. I now am just one year younger than his age when he died. Life seems so short and goes so quickly. Enjoy, love and be happy. Thanks for this great video!

I can’t believe it’s been 15 years. 😥. He was also in bad Santa with billy bob thornton. He was funny (of course).

Very sad about John. The sad thing is he could of been ok if the right doctors did there job right. My husband had the same thing in 2005 and had surgery and is alive today.Great vlog today Jordan thank you. I never knew john actually went to the hospital because I thought he died on set.

Awesome vlog. Loved John Ritter. One of my favorite movies he did was IT. Thanks for sharing

I'm in the UK and first saw John Ritter in IT as Ben Hanscomb. He was so warm and lovely in that role. I then saw him in Buffy (where he was quite terrifying!) and as the dad in Scrubs. Really good actor

I was 19 when Three's Company premiered on TV. My grandfather thought it was scandalous that a guy was living with two girls on a TV show! He wouldn't allow us to watch Laugh-In in his house, either :) Anyway, we were all crazy about the show back then and especially John. On a side note, Joyce DeWitt was appearing in my city in a Christmas play back in 2010 or 2011. My office was across the street from the theater. I was walking back to my office from an errand and there she was...standing next to a lamp post, smoking a cigarette, taking a break! I totally fangirled at age 58 LOL I ran up to her, welcomed her to our town and gave her a big hug! She was a total sweetheart. I've seen everyone out and about from Ringo Starr to Leon Russell and I've never fangirled...EVER! But, I did for Joyce :) Miss those great days of television. Thanks, Jordan. RIP John

He was such a warm and kind soul RIP John: "In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

I liked when he did dramatic roles. He was very good on Law & Order: SVU. As was Henry Winkler & Robin Williams.

Thank you! I am glad I found you. I can't wait to see more and watch some of your previous videos. John Ritter was one of my daughters and my favorite actors.✌

I really enjoyed this, Jordan. I have always been a big John Ritter fan, too. It was so sad when he died. I enjoyed the Mexico vlogs so much I rewatched them! Hope Jah’s okay. It seems unusual for him to plop down on the grass when Tailwaggers is on the agenda!

Hello, Jordan and Jah. Thank you for sharing John Ritter's life. Now I'll have to dig out 'Skin Deep' my favorite John Ritter movie. Have a great day Jordan and Jah.

Thank you for this. John Ritter is my one of my idols. So unreal he is gone. Just became a fan of your youtube channel. I dig everything you're doing. Much love from Chicago.

Love John Ritter!!😀😀😀

I love John Ritter. My favorite movies of his were "The Last Fling" with Connie Selleca & "Hero at Large" with Anne Archer. See them both as his comedic timing made these two movies excellent. "In Love with an Older Woman" was also another one I liked. There was less comedy pratfalls in it, as it was a little more serious; sad how much great work we have missed by losing him too soon.

Awe such an awesome blog! I myself cried the day he passed. Thank you for this vlog.

Great video Jordan! My Mom always say "Bo Weevil" I always admired John for his Cerebral Palsy work. I was the "March of Dimes" poster child in 1961 for Columbus Ohio. Thanks Again!

This is so good, Jordan! Great job :)

I have such a soft spot for John Ritter.. loved him in Three's Company and of course Problem Child. I remember when he passed away I cried and it was like I felt I knew him. He will always be remembered. I am binge watching your videos. they are fabulous.. keep up the great work my friend.. 🧡xx

First, I would love to say what a precious sweet dog you have...next, although I am saddened by the death of sweet John Ritter, there is no doubt in my heart that his beautiful spirit is very much alive and well, and still very active in many people's lives. Thanx for this awesome vlog

Jordan, very well done as usual. I avoided watching this vlog for a while, until today. Like you, me, and everybody, we all still miss John, and to reflect on his passing brings sadness. I remember the day he passed, I just woke up to go to work and looked at the TV screen and it was on CNN, and they had his photo with the notes, "Remembering John Ritter". It was like someone punched me in the gut. I'm glad I watched this Vlog, even though it was a bittersweet viewing. Glad you showed a photo of your Dad too. Yes, very much a look-a-like for John. He could have been his stand-in if he was the same height as John's. Cheers, Jeff

I am new to this vlog my husband introduced me to his videos and I have to say I am a FAN. My fav one so far is this one John Ritter everybody loved John it's like he was your best friend everytime you saw him on 3 company. And also the reason this is one of my favs is because of the little dog 🐶 in his videos he is so freaking cute. I love dogs and I'm so glad he include him in his videos.

Wow, man - I just found and subscribed to your channel last week, and this was the best surprise ever. My dad was Tex’s guitarist in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and our families were close. Dorothy drove my mom to the hospital when she was in labor with my brother! :) I was born a too late to remember spending time with them, and your tour made me feel like I was able to experience the stories my siblings and parents talk about. Thank you!

John Ritter was advertising to help you do well in school some videos on t.v. once. And I called to buy them but they were too expensive and told them I couldn’t afford it. Well I think a couple days later I was in class in college and he called and asked for me to help me with the videos. I was so shocked. Such a very good and humble man.

I remember John Ritter from Three's Company, watching it when i was 10 years old. He was unique and everything you described. Definitly the type of character/person that was infectious and drew you to instantly to like him. A bright shining soul that could brighten up just about anybody's day. The timing of the prime of his career/life in the 70's and 80's was perfect. I remember when he died and it was announced on the news, it was definitly a sad "Oh No, not John Ritter" moment. Oh and coincidentally his birthday September 17th is the same as mine.

I love Jah....he is such a sweet boy. I am also doggy parent of 2....they ate the best. You are a very kind and caring doggy parent as well

You deserve so many more subscribes and thumbs up, You are amazing and passionate in all your vlogs, You are a ray of light in this world!

John Ritter was one of those very few entertainers that are so beloved that you never hear any scandalous or negative things about(even over a decade + after his death). He had such a kind look about him, yet he was very talented & pulled off negative roles effortlessly. Thank You for creating & posting this. You can tell you were a fan of his & very passionate about making this. This is the first time seeing one of your videos & I subscribed & look forward to see what you do in the future. ❤❤ My only suggestion would be is to close the video with the grave site vs going there right after Hollywood High School. Again great video can't wait to see more of your creativity. ❤

Lol , Jah he’s sooo sweet . He’s always so ready to go . Awesome video Jordan but then I always enjoy all your blogs . Thank you so much for taking us around town and into places I never would have known about and I LIVE here in L.A. not far at all from you . I’m in the Silverlake area . Take care my friend and God bless and keep you and Jah 😊

Jah just so wants to chill today😂😂. So adorable little lovebug!!!! Wow!! Your father and John Ritter do look alike😍. This was an incredible vlog my friend 😉. John Ritter was one of the best and an incredible human being. Thank you Jordan. Can't wait to see the Regal Beagle. What??? Pee in public and look away??? 😂😂😂😂. What idiots. Much love to you and Jah ❤

next month would have been john's 70th birthday and i think about him all the time!

I love John Ritter! :) Billy bob was on all 3 seasons of Hearts Afire. I used to watch that with my mom. :)

Thank you for including Buster Keaton 💙💙I loved him💙 when I was a kid I used to watch some of his old black and whites on tv with my grandpa💙You are such an amazing man for all you do for us💙Love you and Jah💙

Great vlog! Alot of information. I've always been a fan of John Ritter. Three's Company is one of my favorite shows.

I just watched your Vlog..had work. Beautifully done ! I agree with you Keaton,Laurel & Ritter. Very gifted comedians. They had the special gift to impart ..laughter.

Nice nod to Buster and Stan!

Adam the Woo LOVES and RESPECTS John Ritter. And I know so many others do, too. I wish Adam was with you, Jordan...

Jordan, Kelly here in Knoxville, Tennessee. Wanted to encourage you to continue doing what you do.. You truly are a gift to everyone, especially those of us who are unable to travel and see all the interesting things to see in the United States of America 🇺🇸. I enjoy all of your Vlogs, and Jah too, of course ❣😇⚡🎶⚡🇺🇲👍

Thank you Jordan. Three is Company was a show I used to watch in middle school/ high school.

Excellent vlog. Neat about John and your Dad. Your tribute was beautiful. Belinda in NC

John Ritter was so talented and likable. Thanks for shining some light on him. He made me laugh thousands of times as Jack Tripper. He actually played a delivery man and reluctant coin thief on Kojak too, showing how talented he was other than as a comedian.

Great vlog Jordan! I really loved him too, and his dad.
