Remembering David Lander, ‘Laverne & Shirley’s Squiggy

David Lander, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 73, is best remembered as Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggman, the bug-eyed neighbor who burst into Laverne & Shirley with a drawn-out “Helloooo.” With the show’s 50th anniversary arriving on January 27, 2026, it is a fitting moment to look back at what Lander brought to the series, and how much of his life and career extended far beyond that instantly recognizable character.
