I can not believe it. — Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) July 16, 2022 Devastated by the death of Jak Knight. Watch Bust Down NOW. I was lucky enough to spend years writing with and for Jack, and we taped the Netflix sets on the same night. Such a fucking funny, amazing, kind, weird, unique talent. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. — Max Silvestri (@maxsilvestri) July 16, 2022 I remember being on a show with Jak Knight when I was just starting out – I was so nervous and he was so encouraging and kind. I always remembered it. Thinking of his friends and family tonight. — blaire erskine (@blaireerskine) July 16, 2022 RIP to Jak Knight. We taped the Netflix specials together years ago. He was an incredibly funny original voice in comedy and a great guy who will be sorely missed. — Tim Dillon (@TimJDillon) July 16, 2022 Whenever I was in a lineup with Jak Knight, I knew it was going to be a wildly funny night. I have always enjoyed watching him over the past decade. She won big, deserved it all, so witty and memorable every moment on stage and off. A painful loss for comedy. — James Adomian (@JAdomian) July 16, 2022 Beyond shattering information about Jak Knight’s death. He was so effortlessly funny and one of the funniest people around. — Vanessa Ramos (@thatRamosgirl) July 16, 2022
