I had the great pleasure of meeting Phil when I was an extra on News Radio. He was incredibly kind, down to earth, and funny even when the cameras went away. He was a genuine guy whom everyone loved.
Awesome. He cracks me up so much
I remember when this happened, my husband and I were so shocked and saddened by the news as we are both huge Phil Hartman fans to this day. Thank you for another great video.
Please dont shoot ur husband 🙏
Me also. It was and still is so unreal. ❤😢
Phil's death was so shocking because of how he died. Couldn't believe that his wife murdered him, then took her own life. It was so out of the blue.
My favorite Phil Hartman memories are definitely his years on Saturday Night Live. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was great, as was his Bill Clinton impression. Too many funny roles on there to name, but that's what I best remember him from.
Domestic violence is not gender specific RIP Phil
*_He was a highly underrated comedian. His voice was so unique. RIP, Phil._*
He really was. His sense of humor and the characters he played were outrageously funny. I wish he was still around 😔.
Can we please shut up about calling EVERYTHING underrated? When did “underrated” become everybody’s favorite word
He was always a solid player. Showed up, did his job, and nailed it. Not super flashy....but always good.
@@nsasupporter7557 This Video is underrated
@@nsasupporter7557 *Nope. And your comment is highly overrated. LOL Now, please... kindly go **_____** _____.*
There are moments that I forget he is no longer here…😢and it feels like I’m getting the tragic news for the first time all over again…He was my favorite!! I always had a bit of a crush on him-he was so charming, loved his voice and he just seemed like he was so fun to be around❤
I was hired to work as an artist on Futurama.
And we knew Phil was going to do the voice Zapp Brannigan.
Then we heard of his death and it hit us hard.
RIP Phil
The most shocking premature death of any SNL cast member. RIP Phil.
He was married to someone who just could not stand that HE was successful and famous
Jealousy.
That tree in the yard is so cool looking. Very Tim Burton. 😊
The children were raised their aunt & uncle. Hartman had a will that made sure the kids received money after they both turned 25. ( he ensured his kids would be secure in the event of his passing)RIP & to the kids I'm so sorry for your loss, my nephews & nieces lost their mom & dadina murder suicide in front of me, as well. PTSD is not easy to over come with such loss
Phil Hartman was an absolute comedic genius, Newsradio was one of my absolute favorites.
Love your channel!
As a long time viewer of SNL (1977) Phil Hartman and john belushi was the most hilarious,talented on the show,Will Ferrell up there also.His impression of Bill Clinton in the McDonald’s was golden RIP Phil.p.s. I ❤PeeWee
“Your world frightens and confuses me” never gets old
Very sad 😢 On a positive note though, you guys do such a great job producing these videos. Thank you 👏
I remember when his death was in the news like it was yesterday. I can't believe that restaurant is still opened 😊
Rest in peace 🕊️ Phil Hartman 😢 thanks for this tribute Mike.😎🙏
' Im john johnson but everyone here calls me vicky " brilliant
Phil Hartman's versatility and talent were elite. RIP, sir.
Phil was an amazing talent. Truly huge loss for not only Hollywood, but for generations of fans around the world. As always, you did a fantastic job sharing this very beautiful visit.
Yeah, but the characters he played weren’t likable
I loved it when Phil Hartman and Sinbad teams up in Houseguest! Their performances had me rolling on the floor...esp when Phil's character says "let's get some chicken!"😂✨🌟⭐
Lmfao
I love houseguest
I will never forget where I was when I first found out about this tragedy. Loved him in Sgt. Bilko. thanks for the video as always, Happy Halloween
I was shocked waking up to this exact news. I felt so bad for their kiddos. Losing one parent is devastating, losing two unthinkable. They were so young to lose their Dad and Mom. You would have thought that thinking of her kids would have prevented the whole situation. Evidently, she was far more mentally ill than anyone knew. 😢😢😢
Amazing mix of information Elvira, Pee Wee Herman and Phil Hartman. Oh I so enjoyed this documentary of yours thank you 👍 Beverly Hills California
Another awesome day with the Grimmlife Collective! Loved Phil in Coneheads, one of my all time favorite movies. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing the adventure!
I remember that, so sad thank you for sharing Great job
Such a sad story and I remember it well. He was a great talent and sadly missed. Thank you for this video. May he rest in peace.
This is why I’m never getting married: I could suffer the same fate as him. 0_0
Phil Hartmann's death was just so heartbreaking, as we still come across his voice that will pop up now and then.
Phil Hartman was a funny man but there was nothing funny about his toxic marriage.
You guys are so awesome!
I requested this video with you on messenger. I don't know whether or not you did it because of my request but regardless, it's so great you made it!
R.I.P. Phil Hartman! 😢❤
@official_GrimmIfecollective
Your content is so informative. I have always respected and had a passion for celebrity death but more importantly their life before they died. It's so fascinating to hear the story of what happened to them but you do it in a way that keeps my attention. A lot of others just don't do as good a job as you both do.
The biggest thing to me that sets you both apart from others is you truly respect other people's property and the legacy of the deceased. There's so many video makers that will trespass or not do the story justice and l have to turn the video off but you both do a phenomenal job with preserving and respecting legacies and the stories.
One illuminating vignette was during the Jeffrey Dahmer video, specifically when you accidentally got too close to Jeffrey's grandmother's house. The homeowner came out and scolded you but you handled it gracefully and when you apologized and explained it was a mistake because we don't trespass, that got me hooked on your channel and told me you guys are truly doing this for the right reasons.
Thanks so much for making these videos. I truly enjoy them and wish you both the best in everything you do going forward!
I remember when this happened 😢I was very saddened about Phil Hartman. I wonder how his kids are now that they are adults ? WOW ! that reference to Ted Baxter is a deep dive.... How many of you watched the Mary Tyler Moore show?
Was recently searching up Phil this past week. Still have a tab on my iPad getting back to it after a few days and look at this, an episode about him and the locations. You're the best 👍
If you haven't heard it, he did a night on Loveline with Adam and Drew around 1997.. It was a pretty good show, and he was hilarious on it
@@jimlthor yes! I heard about that, thanks for reminding me, now gotta dig into that rabbit hole
A Fantastic vlog! Appreciate the journey you took us on! What A beautiful tribute To Mr Phil Hartman🙏. Thank's for all you do Mike & Jessica. Luv&Peace 💛✌🏼💫
His years on SNL were the absolute best in my opinion. His death was shocking. He is truly missed.
Captain Carl is my favorite Phil Hartman character as well! And my favorite Laurence Fishburne character…Cowboy Curtis!
God this video made my heart sing. Thank you so much for this, it was wonderfully done.
Very nice story telling. Well done!
I love how you begin your vlogs with, "We find ourselves..." like you just Quantum leaped in lol
Excellent vlog, as always. Phil was one of my favorites. His role in the Brave Little Toaster was fantastic. Rest in peace, Phil. Safe travels.-Joe from Joplin MO
Right on!

Originally from Cali, but have lived here for a bit. I do stand up comedy, so I travel a lot. Thinking about moving back to SoCal.@@courtney.malone
You telling this story took me back when it actually happened. It's just a sad, sad story.
Remember watching the simpsons in the 90s and loving his character so much. He was truly a legend
Oh my gosh guys, this is very haunting, informative, and interesting. Thanks for doing this one. Thank Jessica too!!!!
Awesome video Grimms, I remember him acting in the Simpsons and then he was in that Christmas film Jingle All The Way, he was an absolute funny actor 🤗
What about houseguest and small soldiers?
@@BRIANOCONNER2003 Awh yep I remember watching those films too 😊
@@KeithB1994 and did you like them as well
Yep I did mate:)
Jingle All the Way is such a holiday classic. I miss that guy.
I remember this like yesterday. So shocking, and it still is. Captain Carl was my favorite too. I often wonder what Phil could have done if he was still with us. He left us some great memories, that's for sure.
I'm so glad you guys did this video on Phil. I miss his work so much and it was such a tragic ending to such a great entertainer and genuinely nice guy to everyone. Toy Soldiers, Coneheads, News Radio, and so many, many more. I just feel that we were so robbed of his talent. It was well known how unstable his wife was and I never understood why he felt it was ok to buy her a gun (and I say that as an owner of several firearms). It was just a recipe for disaster.
Amazing video! I loved watching Phil Hartman on the Simpsons. Thank you so much for sharing Michael and Jessica ❤️
so talented....and had so much more to give before his life was cut short. Rest in Peace, Phil. Thanks for another awesome job covering this story, Love your channel.
Thank you for another episode!
Such a sad story. The fact he stayed, and it cost him his life was horrible. Those poor kids. Great video. ✌️
Phil Hartmans house was so beautiful hard to believe such a tragic event happened in that house but they say you never know what goes on behind closed doors
What a terribly tragic end to a life that brought so much joy to so many. Phill helped mold my sense of humor and I always love when some of his old work comes up.
Thanks for the vid Mr Grimm
Always an enlightened moment to take a trip to Hollywood Forever Cemetery ---- Heart always thumps... The Alumni from the Groundlings troupe, is a tough bunch of comedy hobres--- the love of them, will never be forgotten. Phil Hartman was the man, and I miss him so... Thanks, GriMms for another fine heart felt episode.... :^)"""""""""""
Great video, thanks for sharing. He is sorely missed. I was 10 when it happened & remember hearing about it in school. Such a sad situation. I hope his kids grew up okay.
Another terriffic video knocked out of the park by the awesome Grimmlifecollective. Phil Hartman was a terriffic comedic actor lost too soon. I loved the Wonka reference you added there Michael. Happy Halloween 🎃.
Bravo as usual guys! Excellent quality content. Thank you!
Phil was a very talented actor whose roles will live on! Thanks for the unique, sad, cool tour video with an important message to not ignore red flags in a relationship!
Another great video on a one of a kind talent. ❤
Excellent video, Mike. You are inspiring me to be a better person and to look more positive towards life in general. 🤙
Such a great channel. Thanks for all the fascinating content.
great way of presenting a heart wrenching story
I remember this great actor when i started watching American's shows. He was amazing! It was truly sad the way he died 💔
Thank you Michael. Great work as always. My respect to you
Keep up the great work, Michael. I recall this tragedy very well.
Well done! Thank you for doing this video!
That's crazy..i never knew this... I'm a 80s baby... i knew up watching pee wee ... so watching these clips brings back memories i didn't even know i had... great video as always
Hi Michael and Jessica! I am watching your video right now and I love your videos and channel. You are awesome and amazing. I remember phil hartman portraing bill Clinton on SNL. It is so sad what happened to phil.
Still THEEEE best youtube channel intro music/video sequence there is.
Another cool vid guys
Thank you for this! Great video.
Your an amazing story teller Michael, a BIG well done from Dublin, LOVE your videos..
Thank you so much John. Happy Halloween
Appreciate, as always, your efforts to cover this. I still have a bit of shock at his loss and can't believe it. It's somewhat funny that the first clip you included was Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, because that was easily my favorite of all of his characters - though it's hard to say "favorite" as they were all awesome, really. It's even more so considering the character Zap Brannigan from Futurama was written for him, but was instead voiced by Billy West, who did a great job of trying to sound like Hartman. What a loss and it's such a shame his wife couldn't reconcile her demons. RIP to them both, and thank you again, Michael.
Very nicely written and edited. I can see I need to go down your rabbit hole!
Fantastic video! This was incredible 😮
Groundlings in the Noho Arts District! I lived a couple of blocks away for 17+ years! Great memories. So much talent came from there. ✌🏼
Always love your videos, being english i never saw peewee but heard of it, hartman was a gem and as he got older did cameos i believe, he was in jingle all the way with swartzeneggar (probably not spelt right)
Very sad that it went that way for both Phil & Brynn, ❤🙏🏻, I remember watching Phil in the movie “Small Soldiers” in the cinema after the sad news, it was his last movie 😢
Great episode. Thank you for sharing
Another outstanding video! Thank You.
Oh my goodness thank you for the video.
Thank you for this video, he is one of my all time favorite comics, and your videos are always done so respectfully, and perfect timing and length for my lunch breaks at work. Keep on keepin on and stay spooky!
"Don't let your loneliness keep you connected with toxic people. You shouldn't drink poison just because you are thirsty!"
(Text deliberately adapted). RIP a VERY funny man. 🇬🇧🌞🇺🇲
He played a good part in the christmas film
with Arnold schwarzenegger
in Jingle all the way (1996) .🇬🇧
Jingle All the Way is always on my Christmas movie list!
I always loved Phil, so I even cheered for him - even when he wound up covered in eggnog!
Thank you for being a Phil Fan!
❤ from 🇺🇲
Chokes me up, too. Hartman filled my teenage years with laughter and then he was gone. That left a hole
Thanks, Michael, for covering this. I had never heard about the murder until now.
Phil Hartmann was the core of that SNL cast in the late 80's, early 90's. Him and Kevin Nealon. The guy was a massive talent.
NewsRadio....absolutely fantastic.
Amazing video Micheal, I loved Phil Hartman, he was such a talented actor, he was so good, in the movie, called "Houseguest" which was my introduction, into who he was, I became a fan 🤩 RIP Phil Hartman 🙏🏼♥️
Absolutely love the details and research that gos in to the work you do really is fantastic
Phil was amazing! This was my favorite period of SNL. So talented. Very very sad😢 Thanks as always Happy Halloween 👻🎃
What’s up guys love y’all’s channel
Michael and Jessica-Thank You for remembering Phil Hartman-Mr Hartman's last performance was the "voice" of 'Jiji' the black cat in the animated movie "KIKI's Delivery Service". At the end of the movie, the producers paid written tribute to Phil, during the ending credits while the music is playing.It's a wonderful story about a young witch in training.If you both get a chance to watch it,I believe you will enjoy it.The ending is very moving for me even to this day ,knowing what happened to Mr Hartman.Truly a sad loss for the world.Thanks again
Omg that really was him now that im remembering the voice! 😮
Domestic violence sucks . D v survivor here .
❤️🕊️
Might want to end up staying single forever. Don’t want you to suffer the same fate as Phil Hartman.
I remember seeing the news and I didn't believe it at first. Hearing the tragic details after was just heartbreaking. Rest easy Phil we will always have your jokes to make us smile😊🙏🏼
I was 13 in 1981 when The Pee Wee Herman Show (original stage show) was being shown on HBO which I watched over and over again loving every minute of it and ever since when anyone asks if I’ve washed my hands I throw them out and in my best Capt’n Carl voice shout Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then to almost everyone’s utter bewilderment I sing the song🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Pee Wee Herman Show on HBO is still one of my most quotable TV shows ever 💔 My college roomate and I would quote it constantly!
I remember years ago watching some news program in which they used computer animation to show exactly how Phil had been killed. His wife sat astride him and held the pistol gangster-style. All I can think is, given what a nice and peaceful guy Phil was generally said to be, there must have been something basically wrong with his wife, to do what she did. Being "on drugs" is no reason; most drug users do not commit cold-blooded murder. The blessing is that Phil never knew what happened; he just went to sleep and never woke up.
She definitely had problems before the drugs.... but drugs can magnify those problems exponentially... Ive known a few people that were exactly that crazy (attempted murder crazy) and did my best to keep them out of my life. One was prescribed lithium, and the other refused to see a doctor, but obviously was bipolar or worse...
Thankfully, one of them has been in jail for the last 4 yrs and I blocked the number of the other one about 10 yrs ago.. Hope it stays that way
Her eyes in that first picture are honestly, scary and crazy looking :/
One my favorite comedians, loved him on News Radio!!😔
Thank you so much Micheal and Jessica! I remember him.
We love you Phil Hartman! Great highlight reel intro! 🤍
I was 15 when this happened and my best friend at the time was a huge fan of his. Very sad. At least he didn’t know what happened.
I really miss Phil! My favourite character of his was that smarmy Bill McNeil from NewsRadio. I have the entire series on DVD and I still watch it at least once a week. Just can't get enough of him ... he was so damn brilliant, and actually he still is. 💖
Great coverage and research, great comedian, actor and human being and great channel, grimmlifecollective!! Jim C.
I still miss his comedy. Great video
Great story telling bravo!!!
Another great day with you and Thanks again for sharing the adventure. Happy Halloween 👻
I was 17 and was roofing when this came over the radio I almost fell off the roof,it was a sad day
Phil was such a funny guy, his humour is missed. Poor Phil didnt deserve that & his poor children left without a dad or a mum. Thanks for another great vid Michael, Happy Halloween. 🎃🎃
