Harold Ramis a"h

He was a good Jew. I met him once. As one who made so many laugh, he is surely a ben olam habah.

Taanis 22a and the story of Rav Broka and Eliyahi Hanavi.

Rav Broka was in the city market and Eliyahu Hanavi was there with him. Rav Broka asked: "Is there someone in this market who deserves Olam Haba (the Afterlife)?" Eliyahu answered: "No". After a while, two brothers came into the market. Eliyahu said: “These are people that will go to Olam Haba." So Rav Broka ran up to the people and asked them: "What do you do?" They answered: “We are happy people and we make sad people feel happy. Another version has it: "When we see two people quarreling, we make an effort [through humor - Rashi] to make peace between them."
