He was one of the major stars of the 1970s, first as a singer/songwriter and then as part of the iconic Norman Lear comedies Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and its spinoff, Fernwood 2 Night.
Today, the wit and charisma Mull brought to his craft was fondly remembered by his peers as word of his passing at age 80 spread.
Some of the reactions:

Martin Mull you always made me laugh. God bless the Mull family. RIP
RIP the great Martin Mull. I used to love watching Fernwood Tonight even though I didn't always know what was going on. He and Fred Willard were both comic geniuses RS pic.twitter.com/gGVf1ncd0j
Honored to work with Martin Mull on It’s Garry Shandling’s show and @TheSimpsons totally hilarious; a guy the writers always loved to have back. pic.twitter.com/rMX29XFbXj
Martin Mull is a legend. He was a tremendous talent, who was always funny. As amazing as he was on camera, he was even more incredible off. The world was better with him in it. Perhaps the other side needed more laughter pic.twitter.com/2ljZaOccHI
Took me a moment to grasp that Martin Mull has passed. During the late 70s, we worked together on Fernwood Tonight & its successor series. We wrote together, often at the beach (!), and sometimes I’d come out and riff with him. Mucho laffs! Always a treat to be with. RIP MM.
Oh man, this is so sad. Martin was the greatest. So funny, so talented, such a nice guy. Was lucky enough to act with him on The Jackie Thomas Show and treasured every moment
