Pat Cooper, Stand-Up Comedian and ‘Analyze This’ Actor, Dead at 93

Pat Cooper, an "outrage comedian" known for his short temper and famous roasts, has died. He was 93.

The Analyze This actor's wife Emily Conner announced in a statement that Cooper died Tuesday night at their home in Las Vegas, according to multiple outlets.

Several fellow comedians shared tributes and memories of Cooper on social media after the news broke. "'Artie Lange is an asshole, but I love him' - Pat Cooper. Love you too Pat. Rest in peace," Lange shared on Twitter.

"RIP the great Pat Cooper. 'It's over!'" wrote Marc Maron.

"I sat next to Pat at a roast and he did not hesitate to whisper-roast™ for me every comic--who was overrated, who was underrated, who never picked up a check--and I liked him very much," recounted Michael McKean. "RIP Pat Cooper."

Born July 31, 1929, in New York City, Cooper began performing stand-up comedy in the '50s before debuting on The Jackie Gleason Show in 1963.

Cooper once opened for Frank Sinatra, refusing the crooner's request to remove a joke from his set about Italian mothers. Cooper's own Italian family often served as inspiration for his comedy material.

Over the years, he appeared in such shows as Vega$, Charlie's Angels, L.A. Law and Seinfeld, in addition to starring alongside Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal in 1999's Analyze This and the 2002 sequel Analyze That. He was also known for his appearances on Ed Sullivan and Howard Stern's shows.

Cooper presided over a number of roasts at NYC's Friars Club, which inspired his appearance as himself in the 1996 Seinfeld episode, "The Friars Club."

In addition to his wife, Cooper is survived by three children, five grandchildren and three sisters.
