From 1980-1982, the actor also hosted his own comedic talk show, The Alan Thicke Show, in which he appeared in 102 episodes, and later hosted Thicke of the Night from 1983-1984. He also hosted the 1997 game show series, Pictionary, in 1997. In addition to his on-screen credits, the actor was a composer on Diff’rent Strokes from 1978-1986 and The Facts of Life from 1979-1998.

He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace dear Alan.” So sad is the passing of Alan Thicke. Such a good husband, father, brother, and friend. He will be deeply missed.
