The network tweeted, "Jak Knight was a hysterical and honest comedian. We will miss him tremendously."

I can't believe it," he wrote. Meanwhile, comedian Eric Andre posted on Instagram, "Why Jak? Why did you leave us so soon just as you were beginning? We love you man. Come back."

Jak started his career in comedy by performing at the Hollywood Improv stand-up club and the venue was also quick to tweet their condolences as they remembered the "special young performer." They tweeted, "Several years ago a young Jak Knight began coming into our open mics. it was clear from the beginning he was special. Jak was a tremendous writer and performer, years ahead of his age. He had a lot more to say and we're heartbroken we won't get to hear it. We love you forever Jak."
