I must concur. Fred Willard is the prodigal son. He the most brutally efficient comedian I've ever seen. Everything I've ever seen him in has driven me to tears. See Christopher Guest "schmoozing" with Charlie Rose about Fred Willard and his improvisation.
There's currently an interview on YouTube, five part interview by Ricky Gervais with Chris Guest, during which Chris Guest points out a scene in which Fred Willard makes him corpse on camera repeatedly in the existing final cut of Spinal Tap.
It's the bit where Fred Willard is introducing himself to the band at the military hangar, Nigel is hiding behind another band member for some particularly hilarious lines to save the take.
Jane Lynch's look of disapproval is priceless !

Willard in 'Best In Show' was brilliant as well, and 'Spinal Tap', 'Waiting For Guffman', the list goes on.
