Phil was just so polished in everything he did. When he was on SNL, he was the glue. He’s literally a knockout in every interview, perfect guest for any talk show host. Had an incredible resume with improv, voice acting, and art illustrations. The guy had the brightest future. I think he could have been on par with Bryan Cranston if he landed a comedic role like Hal in Malcolm in the Middle or a dramatic role like Breaking Bad. He could have played roles Tom Hanks played, he had that kind of charisma and range. He was just so damn likable. And clearly was an amazing father, this video showcases likely his proudest moment at SNL with the announcement of his daughter’s birth. Rest In Peace comedy hero ❤️
Shit I never considered that till today. Now I've got this picture in my head of Phil playing Walter White, and I think he'd have done a damn fine job.
I remember how heart broken my dad was the day he found out about Phil Hartman's death. I was only 14 at the time. We are avid SNL and Simpson's fans so he was like a household name. Really sad. RIP funny man
I've watched SNL since it's beginning and Phil Hartman is easily the best, most relaxed, believable of 'em all!!! What a sick turn of events to lose him the way we did!
This is the only time I have seen Phil Hartman show genuine emotion -- over his daughter no less. How tragic his end was. Everyone saw Farley going, but we would still have a Troy McClure today if his crazy wife wasn't also a murderess.
Delereyus -- Yes... but the thing is it goes with the human mind. People love cutting corners and not having to analyze things completely. Having a scapegoat they can pin a tragedy on is the perfect way to cut corners.
That Mr. Wilson voice was so memorable that when he first made the impersonation of the voice I immediately thought, "That sounds like MR. Wilson from Dennis the Menace" and looked it up. Only to end up coming back and hitting PLAY after having paused it and hearing him say that he did the voice to it. haha.
It always reminds me of like a colonel Sanders type lawyer talking to the jury " layyyyydies.... aaaand.....gentleMEN....I'm just a southern lawyer .. a man of simple ... PLEASURES ... I don't understand you big city types .. with your fancy shoes and fancy ways... And your suspenders... And white collar SHIRTS .. I just wear an all WHITE suit and continue to look like Gregory.. PECK !!!" putting emphasis on different words
Ugh! Phil crying about his newborn daughter that he had with the woman who eventually killed him is breaking my heart! RIP Phil He never stopped making me laugh!
Phil Harman's impressions followed by Dennis Miller's hearty beautiful laugh. I miss this era of time so much. Life had hope. And unbelievably funny people.
His wife mixed drugs and went crazy I guess. RIP Phil, just looked up his daughter on social media..Looks like she's getting married soon! Hard to say you miss a guy that you don't even know, but I do miss his contribution to entertainment. Being a 90s kid he was in some great stuff. I need to go back and check out the 80s stuff I guess!
Poco- Seven, America- Silent Letter, America- Harbor, America- Grestest Hits, Poco- Legend, Steely Dan- Aja.....Phil Hartman designed over 40 Album cover in his art career
What a blow that he's gone. Some of my best times were watching him over the years on SNL. It's hard to pick a favorite bit of his, but The Sinatra Group definitely makes the cut for sure - he did a great Sinatra. There was one Sinatra group episode where Billy Idol was on the panel and Phil said - "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool." Then there's the Green and Fazio ads - "do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering, maybe I should have sued?" And of course we can't forget Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. A comic genius. We miss you so much Phil. RIP.
Thing is, Belushi and Farley, and to a degree John Candy, did themselves in by the way they lived. We can't know for sure of course, but how much of losing Phil Hartman can be placed at his own feet? Not much, if any, would be my guess. How incredibly sad. RIP, Phil.
norm & phil......my favorite SNL and all around legendary comedians with unmatchable talent are now in heaven getting tickled by Farley.....miss u guys!!!!!!!!!!! alot! ty for making us feel warm and fuzzy with joy........still to this very day......
Phil Hartman what more can I say about this genius he will go down in history as one of the most funniest hilarious man on screen that has ever graced it lol this dude makes me laugh all the darn time from Newt Gingrich to Bill Clinton today just to name a few I will always love Phil Hartman! It is a shame that he is not here with us today that his coward lonely miserable wife took his life and hers damn I wish you saw it coming but his legacy will live on and be watch by many and generations to come enjoy all!
Watching Futurama made me want to see some Phil Hartman clips... I imagine his voice whenever Zapp Branigan speaks (not that Billy West isn't amazing...). You left earth too early Phil.
Billy West was great, but remember the character of Zapp was born, before the tragedy, only for Phil. Groening sayd that in a interview It's normal to see Phil in the comedy character of Brannigan.
THE greatest of all SNL cast members by a mile..Phil was the best of the best. Such a terrible loss...but we will always remember him from such films as "Locker Room Horseplay: Hidden Dangers!"
British bloke here. The first time I experienced Phil Hartman was in 'That' Alcatraz Wayne's World scene, I was both chilled to the bone and tickled! So sad what happened to him. I am now in awe of the guy and always try and seek him out, as there was in intensity about him that I just can't get enough of! 🙏🏆
Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey, and Phil Hartman golfing with Jack Nicholson... PRICELESS. Imagine being blessed enough to witness a meeting of this magnitude? WOW. Just... wow.
Some people have that perfect radio voice, or a perfect news anchor voice. Hartman had the perfect voice to satirize those things. Like them, but moreso.
Just learned that Phil co-wrote Pee Wee’s Big Adventure… his legend continues to grow. In terms of devastating Celebrity Deaths, he’s right up there with River Phoenix.
I was in basic training summer '98. They totally cut us off from the world. I didn't find out about Monica Lewinski or Phil Hartman dying until something like 6 months later. He was my favorite comedian at that time. I liked those commercials he did where he was dressed up in a trench coat.
Dang, to hear him tell the story of his daughter's birth and then realize that six years, his wife will kill him in his sleep and later that day kill herself, leaving two children as orphans, is really heart breaking.
Man I really miss Phil Hartman, he was so damn funny and talented.
mrpicky510 Phil before that pile of shit Newsradio...Nice
Shayla Knight Newsradio was funny, and his character was gold.
mrpicky510 they think Cosmo was originally played by Phil Hartman from "oh yeah shorts "
olivia howard Phil was gone by then
Shayla Knight he was planning to take the role right
To hear him speak so sweetly about the woman that murdered him is chilling and terribly heartbreaking.
I’m still angry he’s gone. What a tragedy and waste that didn’t have to happen. He was unique and special.
I just came here to say the same exact thing! What a great person and very funny to want to take out of this world.
His wife was on drugs...legal drugs.
@@Handletaken4 it’s an industry that many politicians and wall street get rich off of. And in many ways is worse than the illegal drug trade.
@@wendyfrench8042 He would've been a legend.
Even just his normal voice was iconic
RIP Phil Hartman (September 24, 1948 - May 28, 1998), aged 49
You will always be remembered as a legend.
hes dead? i didnt even know he was sick !
@@NankerPhelge65 He was not sick. He was murdered by his sick wife.
@@NankerPhelge65 It wasn't the sickness that killed him, it was the bullets.
RIP Phil and thanks for the memories. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer is one of my favorite skits off all time.
So many fantastic comedians came out of SNL, but I believe Phil was my favorite. What a talent.

Just saw him in QUICK CHANGE doing a fantastic one-scene performance.
There’s a great book about him called “you may remember me”. Such a great guy and so talented.
I love Phil. I didn't read your book yet.
One of the most talented funnymen of all time...RIP Phil
Hartman could possibly be the single funniest cast member ever on SNL. He is constantly laugh out loud funny.
Mark Silverman, I agree 100%!!!!
@@coopertime147 True. He could play any character to the hilt.
When Phil Hartman was on there was also Dana Carvey, Chris Farley and Adam Sandler among others. Totally solid lineup.
Loved his Caveman Lawyer.
Hartman was definitely one of the top SNL performers
Phil Hartman was brilliant. Gone way too soon. RIP Phil.
I've sold monorails to Shelbyville, Ogdenville, North Haverbrook, and boy did it put them on the map!
Cole Smith Use my pen knife my good man!
is their a chance the track could bend?
Conan O'Brien wrote that episode with the monorail didn't he?
@@neilyoungboy Not on your life, my Hindu friend.
praying his sweet children know how much he loved them. He was an amazing comedian, greatly missed.

Get a grip.
Yeah, him and Farley. I remember I was 15 when Phil was killed.
It was such a tragedy. Both for him and his wife, obviously.
Same here. Want a talent.
He was the best of the best.
I've watched SNL since it's beginning and Phil Hartman is easily the best, most relaxed, believable of 'em all!!! What a sick turn of events to lose him the way we did!
Agreed! Have seen all the casts, and Phil was the most talented, IMO.
This is the only time I have seen Phil Hartman show genuine emotion -- over his daughter no less. How tragic his end was. Everyone saw Farley going, but we would still have a Troy McClure today if his crazy wife wasn't also a murderess.
he would still be alive if Andy dick didn't get his wife back on cocaine.
Serban V.C. Enache and cocaine and alcohol nix in the blood to create cocethylene
Also Blame Andy Dick, He is the one who got Phils wife back on drugs which is ultimately the reason that lead to her killing Phil.
you guys know nothing about anything if you blame andy dick for that shit..
Delereyus -- Yes... but the thing is it goes with the human mind. People love cutting corners and not having to analyze things completely. Having a scapegoat they can pin a tragedy on is the perfect way to cut corners.

Man they were my favourites.
Cole Smith.....Get a life dude. Those are cartoon characters ???
Barry richman So what? We enjoyed Phil’s voices and characters. The guy was irreplaceable, very talented and sorely missed by many.
when phil hartman died so did the simpsons
Barry richman can’t have cartoon characters without humans ....... quit looking on the surface of life........enjoy it for the simple things geeze man
Ugh! Phil crying about his newborn daughter that he had with the woman who eventually killed him is breaking my heart!
RIP Phil
He never stopped making me laugh!
Just goes to show ya, "Watch your six".
Such a talented, heart-warming comedian.
You're sorely missed, Phil. We all could use a laugh or two, listening to your jokes.
Phil Harman's impressions followed by Dennis Miller's hearty beautiful laugh. I miss this era of time so much. Life had hope. And unbelievably funny people.
Wow, Bryan Cranston would be an awesome Phil Hartman if they ever made a biopic. He looks a lot like him and his overall demeanor is very similar.
ekathe85 wow I never saw it before but you're absolutely right
Good call. I can definitely visualize that.
The only problem with that is Cranston is older than Hartman ever lived to be.
I like to think that in an alternate universe, Phil Hartman is still alive and played the role of Walter White. He would've done a great job.
Unfrozen Caveman Meth Dealer
What a great man. Thanks for all the laughs and here in 2024 I'm still looking up clips of this genius. Love you, Phil.
His wife mixed drugs and went crazy I guess. RIP Phil, just looked up his daughter on social media..Looks like she's getting married soon! Hard to say you miss a guy that you don't even know, but I do miss his contribution to entertainment. Being a 90s kid he was in some great stuff.

An artist drawing a picture of Phil Hartman...Hartman drew a lot of album covers for some very prominent rock groups.
YES he sure DID!
Which ones? I didn't know this.

he was also awesome on newsradio as well
This man was a true jewel of a human
Still the greatest, so sad that both him and Chris Farley died, comedy lost some Heavy Hitters when those guys left the scene.
Thing is, Belushi and Farley, and to a degree John Candy, did themselves in by the way they lived. We can't know for sure of course, but how much of losing Phil Hartman can be placed at his own feet? Not much, if any, would be my guess. How incredibly sad. RIP, Phil.

Agreed. I love to do voice impressions myself and I always look up to Phil Hartman. The guy was truly one of a kind.
Calm down mate. It's not you're father lol
Phil Hartman was great, Miss that guy.
hell yeah he was, he was always really jolly
blisterpacman why they said Cosmo sounds like Phil Hartman
Troy McClure is the man!

You'll never see a better SNL audition than Phil Hartman's. What a guy.
0:39 - That's a PERFECT Paul Ford impression if you watch a ton of movies!
The voice reminds me of Phil Hartman and the way he talked . Thank you for sharing
What a sweetie.
People may know him for his roles on the Simpsons, but I’ll always remember him as Jiji the Cat in Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Cure Hana oh shit! I never even realised
Haha yeah that was cool to realise
His voices, were so
funny, thank goodness
there are all these wonderful, funny, great
works of his, to watch, thanks for sharing,
thanks!!💝🎉🎉
Really creepy how his wife is mentioned when she is the one who killed him rip Phil
so creepy
Atleast she killed herself
@@TigerOfGermany That might satisfy our wrath over her killing him, but I can't imagine that it would mitigate the nightmare for the children.
@@Gregorypeckory I mean... I feel bad about his children, but their mom would have probably served life in prison and their dad would still be dead.
@@TigerOfGermany
I just watched an interview with Phil & his wife on Howard Stern. RUclips
When asked if he had been drinking.. "Well I am a quarter Irish" love Phil Hartman
Phil Hartman was a great comedian. What a tragic loss.
I might owe Phil Hartman my life. The day I learned of his death was the day I hid my pistol. My now ex-wife went looking for it just two weeks later.
wow man!
Wow. I hope you are doing better now.
Ha ha that's funny.
Richard Pruett - so glad I don’t live in America. And quite happy that I never married. 2 bullets dodged.

Lionel Hutz 2019!!! Hes still alive thanks to the magic of video!!!
THE greatest of all SNL cast members by a mile..Phil was the best of the best. Such a terrible loss...but we will always remember him from such films as "Locker Room Horseplay: Hidden Dangers!"
Wow. Hearing his thoughts on Wilford Brimley 22 years ago is interesting. Comedians make fun of him for TOTALLY different reasons now.
Diabeetus
Sometimes he and Cranston seem like long lost brothers.
Spot on....good one
Duuuude, Good call.
Damn... yes spot on!
Fucking spot on, son

such a unique and wonderful voice!
Phil’s Sinatra impersonation was my favourite. Also my fav. SNL member of all time.
R.I.P Phil Hartman! 😭
Phil was really sexy, funny, charming, etc...
Very talented. So incredibly sad, tragic was his passing.

Wow 😳 I never realized how talented Phil really was. He’s been missed but never 👎 Forgotten. RIP 🪦 PHIL HARTMAN
Gone, but not forgotten.
love how he was about to say "publishers clearing house" not "american family publishers". Just about retconned lol
Never knew Dennis Miller had a talk show. Phil is missed. He was such a talent. I also didn't know he could do a spot-on Nicholson impression!
Dennis Miller sucks and I suspect his show lasted about as long as his tenure on MNF.
Many others didn't either which is probably why it was cancelled.
Some people have that perfect radio voice, or a perfect news anchor voice. Hartman had the perfect voice to satirize those things. Like them, but moreso.
Man, the way Miller looks at him sums everything everyone who worked with Hartman has said they thought of him. “The Glue”
Phil Hartman, the best
Man, I miss the 90's.
Absolute legend...RIP Phil...
just an amazing talent
Phil Hartman was very, very special
Phil Hartman was the greatest of all time and there will never be another as talented! Rest in peace Phil.
God didn’t give us enough time with Phil Hartman!!!
This is awesome!
One of my favorites.
It's awkward to hear him talk about his wife, considering what happened. Troy McClure was one of THE BEST characters Hartman ever did.
Yep, and his daughter, too. Those kids were in the house when she murdered him and killed herself. Crazy.
Spooky to hear him mention his wife. dot dot dot
it's dun! dun! dun! nimrod

Rest in Peace Phil you were a wonderful, talented man. “Take the Amigos clothes.”
Really reminds me of Bryan Cranston, didn't really hit me tell after Breaking Bad.
The Voiceman telling a heartfelt story about the birth of his daughter and his sick ass wife ends up killing him. What a tragic waste.
But she also killed his killer, look at it that way. I feel for both of them (but especially him).
I know
I can't think of Bryan Cranston without thinking of Phil Hartman..
Hartman was on the verge of an Epic acting career
At first I was like LMAO
Then I was like CMAO
:*( R.I.P
Such a great funny man and my favorite SNL alumni. He would have gone on to great things no doubt.
God I miss Phil
What a legend ♥️
and look at Dennis 💜💜
Loved him on News Radio. So sad, his ending ... 😭
Yea, he was one of the best and greatly missed and I hope his daughter is well.

Not sure what made me sadder. Phil or Chris passing. I think Phil because of how it happened and his having 2 small children. He was soo great.
