Many of his former friends and co-workers made heartfelt statements regarding Harry Teinowitz' passing

Former co-host, Jurkovic, also made a statement on his passing:
«Harry was an absolute necessity. You had to have him to make that thing work. Without him, it wouldn't not have worked to the level that worked.»
Carmen Falco, another co-host, also made a statement:
«He just had a million ideas and he always wanted to be funny. He was always thinking of silly, creative, goofy things to do and he believed in all of them. He always committed to the bit. If it flopped, he didn't care. He just wanted to try.»
