Comedian, writer and actor Jak Knight has passed away at the age of 28. Knight’s family shared the news on Friday, but they did not share the actor’s cause of death. Immediately after hearing the tragic news, several of Knight’s friends, co-stars and fans took to social media to share their thoughts on his passing.
“Jak Knight was a hysterical and honest comedian. We will miss him tremendously,” Comedy Central tweeted.
“RIP Jak Knight. [He was] one of the most talented and hilarious dudes in the game,” Josiah Johnson added.
In 28 years, Knight managed to make a name as one of the brightest youngest stars in Hollywood. The comedian played Devon on the popular series, Big Mouth, and appeared in Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup series. Knight also starred in Peacock’s Bust Down and co-executive produced HBO’s Pause with Sam Jay. Most recently, he starred in Chelsea Peretti’s feature directorial debut, First Time Female Director. The film has not yet been released.
At this time, there is no information regarding a memorial service. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Knight family at this time.
