- Ended 20-year rift with his Herzbube mit zwei Damen (1976) co-star Suzanne Somers shortly before his sudden death.
- Passed away in the same hospital he was born in, which was the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center.
- On an episode of Meine wilden Töchter (2002), he and the cast did a spoof of his sitcom Herzbube mit zwei Damen (1976). In the spoof, he played Mr. Roper, Katey Sagal played Helen Roper, Kaley Cuoco and Amy Davidson played Janet and Chrissy respectively, Billy Aaron Brown played Jack and Martin Spanjers played Larry. At the end of the episode, Don Knotts who played Mr. Furley on Three's Company, reprised his role in one short scene. It was, not surprisingly, Ritter's favorite episode.
- His talent for physical schtick was heralded by television comedy icon Lucille Ball, who hosted a tribute to John's talent on Herzbube mit zwei Damen (1976). John later appeared in an episode of Lucille's last comedy series Life with Lucy (1986) In that episode, Lucy claims that during the shooting of a scene, it was the third time in her entire career that she had to shout "cut" because he broke her up laughing.
- His final film, Bad Santa (2003), was dedicated to his memory.
- I knew when I grew up, I always wanted to be a liar, and if you're in television, you're lying because you're just pretending to be yourself much like I'm doing now.
- The Harvey Lembeck Workshop was for me a support group. A place where I had the freedom to fall on my face.
- [How John wants to be remembered] Just as a guy who was interested in the golden thread that intertwines all of us together. You know, that golden thread that goes through me and you, and the cameraman, and all the people out there and back through Nancy. That's what an artist can do, that someone - anyone - could do, if they're willing to pluck that. And either it makes you laugh or it makes you cry, it's that golden thread of humanity, and I'd like to be remembered as maybe a guy who plucked a few of those.
