Phil Hartman was one of the greatest improv comedians to have ever lived. He was so much fun to watch whether in an interview, TV or live SNL. This man was an amazing writer and just a great family man as well. So sad his life was cut short in the manner it was.

I was a background extra on the movie 'Sgt. Bilko.' During a lull in filming, Phil Hartman came over to a group of us and chatted us up for a few minutes. Nice guy.

[@poika22]

I don't mean this to be in any way disrespectful, but Phil Harthman's voice and manner of speech is simply the funniest thing I've ever heard. Maybe it's because I watched so much Simpsons (and News Radio) as a kid but I can't help but smile whenever he says anything.

I love how Phil Hartman’s comic persona, the guy in the suit and tie, was a complete invention: in reality he was a laid-back, t-shirt-and-jeans, pot-smoking hippie surfer dude who designed album covers for rock bands… crazy! He didn’t even become famous until he was forty, either - proof it’s never too late to hit it big with your third, fifth, or eighteenth career.

I've been hearing about Phil Hartman for years now from various people and how he was a genius and all that. Today was my first time actually thinking "you know what? I think it's time to look him up". Didn't even look familiar, but from the get go his cadence, speed, and comic mind really made me be so attentive to what's happening and soak it in. I go into the comments, and I see people saying "what a tragedy" "lost too soon" "I still can't process his loss". Me not knowing anything about him, I google him. Ok death this year, spouse this, kids that... wait, murder-suicide by his deranged wife. I couldn't believe it!! 49 years old?! so young! he was still working and still very much relevant and very much very good! for all these years i had no idea, but now i know...this is truly one of the great tragedies of the comedy world, and to some..it was biggest.

I think the best way to remember Phil Hartman is to deny the woman her win and keep him alive in what he excelled at.

Great collection - thanks for this - awesome to see all these! 2 of my favorite funny people. Perfect environment for Phil to go off. I miss these days - we were so lucky to have Letterman on late night TV - so much entertainment. Cheers.

Phil and Sinatra died just a few weeks apart. That was a lousy month. Phil truly was "the glue". He was in the cast when I reached the age to watch SNL every week, and was always brilliant.

Just two weeks apart, to be exact. Exactly 14 days apart. Kind of eerie.

Mr. Giller...I truly hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. The memories you have brought back through your astonishing efforts have brought immeasurable joy to so very many. Thank you so very much.

The caveman skit was my favorite as a kid! “Listen folks. I’m just a simple caveman..”

Ty for compiling this! I'm reading the biography on him right now. RIP Phil.

That biography is incomplete. Like a 300 piece puzzle, over 100 pieces are missing.

@@bobbyfrancis8957 it was good but you're right. I feel like the author couldn't go into more depth because someone was holding him back
