Comedian and actor Martin Mull has died. Mull's daughter says her father died Thursday after a long illness. He was 80 years old. Mull became known for his hip, droll comic stylings in the clubs on Hollywood's Sunset Strip in the 1970s. He had a small role in the Norman Lear-created TV series “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” and became the star of its spinoff, the satirical talk show “Fernwood Tonight.” In the 1980s he appeared in films including “Mr. Mom” and “Clue,” and in the 1990s was a regular on “Roseanne.” He later had acclaimed guest roles on “Arrested Development” and “Veep," which got him an Emmy nomination.
