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.

Phil's talent was just immense. There were so many epic talented guys from SNL in the 80's, but Phil tops them all, my opinion. His German/English thing in the beginning is just a whole other level to other guys who do great impressions. Thanks for uploading!

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.

Dave had to be on his game. When you have a witty, intelligent and hilarious guest like Phil Hartman, you had to make sure he didn't end up laughing at you instead of with you. The man was a comedic genius with every character he ever portrayed, completely believable. That man literally made me laugh until I hurt.

The coolest funniest guy in the world. He would easily be an old icon like Bill Murray is now. I miss him!

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.

Phil Hartman is hilarious and this is his best setting.
