Mariska Hargitay, Christopher Meloni, and More Celebrities Pay Tribute to Richard Belzer

Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Newman was among the first people to share the news of Belzer's passing. "I'm so sad to hear of Richard Belzer's passing," she tweeted. "I loved this guy so much. He was one of my first friends when I got to New York to do SNL. We used to go out to dinner every week at Sheepshead Bay for lobster. One of the funniest people ever. A master at crowd work. RIP dearest."
