He was always needed and he was always there.” “That opinion is a projection of my shame. “ Rick and Morty has lost Mike Mendel, a man that deserves a better obituary and in my angry opinion, a better god,” Harmon wrote. The show’s other co-creator, Dan Harmon, had similar words to share over Instagram at the time. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you by my side Mike. “My friend, partner, and line producer Mike Mendel passed away,” Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland tweeted in September. He won his first three Emmys for his work on The Simpsons in the first 10 seasons, and his last Emmy for Rick and Morty Season 3’s “Pickle Rick.” As a line producer on Rick and Morty, he helped manage production’s daily operations.

Mendel was a four-time Emmy-award winning TV producer, and he died on September 22 at the age of 54. The character is Mike Mendel, a producer who worked on Rick and Morty since the very beginning.
“In Loving Memory of Mike Mendel,” the caption reads. A small dog walks up and flops over for a belly rub. In the brief clip, we see a character drawn in traditional Rick and Morty style waiting in a blank hallway next to an open door looking out into space. The 'Rick and Morty' Season 4 premiere included this tribute. Then, rather abruptly, the stream cuts to a touching tribute:
“I’m gonna look at their name tags and I’m gonna say, ‘I love you!’ followed by whatever it says on their nametag, over and over.” “I want to comfort people who are dying, who have no one else in their lives, the real lonely people,” she says. The first half of the post-credits reveals that Morty’s efforts were a total waste of time: Jessica decides she wants to be a hospice nurse and that’s why he kept seeing a future where she comforted him on his death bed.
His fixation quickly leads to Rick’s death and eventually threatens the entire planet - before Rick is able to return via uploading his consciousness to a clone from an alternate reality. Upon discovering one death where he dies as an old man in the arms of his longtime crush, Jessica, he sees an opportunity to finally win her over. In Season 4’s first episode, “Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat,” Morty gets addicted to using a Death Crystal to see the many ways he might die. Rick and Morty fans who tune out when the credits start rolling often miss some of the show’s funniest jokes, and while the post-credit scene from the Season 4 premiere does include the hilarious reveal that Morty’s efforts to die in Jessica’s arms were a total waste, there’s also a genuinely heartfelt tribute to the show’s producer Mike Mendel, who died in September.
