Television icon Andy Griffith has died at 86, a friend told a North Carolina news station.

Former University of North Carolina president Bill Friday told WITN News that the "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Matlock" actor died at his home in Dare County, N.C.

The Dare County Sheriff's office would only confirm to TheWrap that emergency services were sent to Griffith's home Tuesday morning.

My parents had that monologue on a record and played it often. Many decades later "I'll have a big orange" (said like you just dropped out of the hills) is still in our family lexicon.

RIP Andy. You gave a lot of happiness to a lot of people.
