Hal was a part of so much of the music and pop culture comedy we have all enjoyed for years. He was kind and extremely cool. So sorry to hear this. Sending love to his family. https://t.co/UdecryPuEx

Hal
I love you. I liked you in my life so much. When I got horrible reviews you sent me a full email of Lou Reed quotes on how to view critics. It meant so much to me. You changed my way of thinking on how to make stuff. You made what you wanted w/ the people you loved. Bye Hal pic.twitter.com/wGeaWvEILS

I’m shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Hal Wilner. He was a true genius in the music industry and a great friend during and after my years on Saturday Night Live. We need to take this virus… https://t.co/7YH9mrC8Be

At SNL you would rush in a panic to Hal Willner's booth to go through a music cue & then not want to leave. Too much fun, too many great stories & the only calm person in the building. He also treasured originality & embodied the spirit of the original SNLhttps://t.co/Cuz5uKE3Am

My friend Hal passed away due to the coronavirus. He was a mad genius. He loved everything weird. He always made me feel good in an environment where it was sometimes hard to feel good about yourself. I really love him. I love you Hal. https://t.co/y1ocQIKo6Q
