Fan Asks Jason Ritter To Do His Dad's 'Creep Face' From 'Three's Company'—And He Nails It

Ritter did his best impression on TikTok of his dad John Ritter's "weird" expression when he would chase his costars around the apartment on Three's Company—and fans are feeling the nostalgia.

Actor Jason Ritter humbly obliged a fan who requested he mimic his late father John Ritter's goofy expression often seen in the 1970s sitcom that made him famous.

John Ritter was known for playing the likable culinary school student Jack Tripper on Three's Company, which ran for eight seasons from 1977 to 1984.


The Primetime Emmy Award winner left a legacy of humor, with former co-stars throughout his career remembering him as "funny like nobody's business" and "impossible to forget" and "impossible not to love."

Jason, known for playing Mark Cyr on NBC's Parenthood, took up the mantle of his late dad's physical comedy by indulging a fan who requested to see an impersonation.

On September 28, TikTokers Bjorn and Merina wrote the 44-year-old Hollywood scion on TikTok and asked him:

"Can you do the creep face your dad used to do chasing the girls around the apartment on 3's company.... That was always my favorite thing."

Jason sought confirmation, asking:

"Um, is it this one, the one that's like ..."

He then demonstrated the wacky, cartoon-like reaction of someone who couldn't contain themselves and asked:

"Is it that weird one?"

Boy, did he nail it.

Three's Company fans loved seeing traces of his father in the hilarious clip, but one particular comment from a fan on TikTok resonated with Jason.

TikToker @Monimona wrote:

"I was born and raised in LA, a daughter of Mexican immigrants. We only spoke Spanish at home. But I watched 3s Co. bc John Ritter transcended language. He brought joy to us as a family, even though we didn’t fully understand the language."

"To this day, he’s the only celeb I’ve cried for at their death. He keeps me laughing on Pluto TV. May he be resting in paradise."

To which Jason replied:

"I love this so much… thank you for sharing this with me!!"

Other delighted fans continued sending love.

John died at the age of 54 from an aortic dissection after he collapsed on the set of his TV show 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter on September 11, 2003.

His condition, a flaw in the main artery from the heart, went previously undetected, and his initial diagnosis of a heart attack was the basis for wrongful death suits that were eventually settled out of court.

Jason is one of four children from John's two marriages.

He will be co-starring in the upcoming gender-flipping reboot of Matlock starring Kathy Bates in her final featured role, which will air on CBS on October 17, 2024.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
