Phil arguably the greatest role player in SNL history.
He's definitely in that conversation!
Had the incredible luck to be a young fly on the wall during a commercial VO session back in the 80s, where he played both Reagan and Gorbachev, talking to each other. Of course, he absolutely nailed it, with ad libs that completely elevated the spot. What an incredibly friendly, talented, professional gentleman. So open and kind, even when he clearly didn’t need to be. Thanks for my favorite podcast, Dana & David.
This tribute was so needed. Every generation should know about Phil. One of my favorites was Phil and Sinbad in Houseguest. The two of them together was comedy gold. The way he could play totally straight characters yet make them so damn funny was just absolute genius. Same for Jingle All The Way. I sure do miss him. Thanks for this
Finally, at long last. The great Phil Hartman.
Phil Hartman had such a huge impact on my childhood. I first I saw him as Kapt'n Karl on the Pee-Wee HBO special and then Pee-Wee's Playhouse before I discovered SNL in middle school. He was my favorite cast member even with all that talented competition. I really enjoyed listening to both parts of this podcast and that Phil was as loved by his peers as I loved watching him.
I first saw him in his reporter cameo in Pee-wee's Big Adventure, then the Pee-wee Playhouse Special VHS and doing multiple voices on the Dennis the Menace cartoon before SNL. But, of course, had no idea who he was or that he was the same person in all those things at that time.
It’s great to hear more about Phil Hartman. He was one of a kind. Excellent episode, keep up the great work guys!
I'm only 30 (born in '92) but I grew up watching you guys and Phil Hartman ....he was so funny in "news radio" and "house guest" was a classic, so was "small solders" and "jingle all the way"!!! ❤
I just started listening to this podcast, Dana Carvey is, and always has been one of the reasons why I care about SNL..of course along with the greats, but when the greats are gone due to tragedy, I NEEDED A LAUGH! Thank you Dana.
I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this more obscure reference both Phil and Lovitz did but they both provided voice talents to the Disney movie ‘Brave little toaster.’ Phil played a disgruntled air conditioner imitating jack nicholson and he also played a hanging lamp doing a Peter Lorre impression. It was very impressive work. Movie is excellent too and underrated
I remember being a kid and being so shocked and sad to hear of his passing. We had the Best of Phil on VHS I think. We idolized him. I hope his kids know how much joy he brought to so many of us❤
I’m so glad you’ve done this, people didn’t talk about Phil after the tragedy.
He deserves this, time has passed, hearts heal. It’s time to celebrate Phil, such a great artist and comedian.🙂😂
😔
Yes, there's no reason not to celebrate his life and his work. There is an alternate timeline where Phil didn't take that SNL job and we never got to see him on TV at all. We should be grateful for what we got from him, and also remind his kids that they should be proud of him. Hopefully we get to see an episode devoted to Jan Hooks as well, who is also an underrated cast member, and a somewhat enigmatic person on a personal level.
Uei
Done 2 great tributes now for Chris Farley and Phil hartman, please do one for norm,
Would love to hear more stories about him
Waiting for Norms
Gotta do John Belushi and Gilda Radner too while we’re at it
And one for Jan Hooks
Phil was always one of my top favorites. He made such a huge impact on us all.
Phil Hartman has been, and always will be, my favorite SNL cast member of all time. It's not that he even made me laugh the most especially, but his presence was so singular, so undeniable, that he elevated every sketch he touched. RIP.
Remember when they did the alternate ending to Its A Wonderful Life? Phil came in as Uncle Billy and just stole the show. "It WAS HIM!"
Meh. To that tribute
@@firstlasterson1213 meh to your existence
If Phil was in a sketch it was funny. He made things funny even if they weren't very funny. He's probably the best all around cast member on SNL, ever.
He was also excellent on NewsRadio. His character's interactions with Khandi Alexander's character were perfection (and him with the rest of the cast but I especially loved Bill and Catherine's interactions).
I started with Hartman and I always thought he was there forever. A true original, i really feel for his kids.
Man, if ever one of these episodes needed to be a video and not audio only, it was this one.
2024 will be ten years since we lost Jan Hooks. I'll bet a ton of friends would come out for her.
I love watching Phil's old interviews on CZcams. One of the funniest ones I've ever seen is under the title "Rewind: Phil Hartman interview 1995. Topics: Pee Wee Herman, The Simpsons voices, Sinatra & more". He was in rare form in that one and made me LOL several times.
I grew up with news radio. So good. So funny.
One of the game show sketches that still makes me laugh out loud when I think about it was "Wedgie Fever." The premise was a quiz show where the underwear of all the contestants was connected to a machine that gradually gave them a bigger and bigger wedgie for any wrong answers. Lovitz was a contestant, and he played a guy who wanted a wedgie, because his answer to every question was "Oklahoma!"
My dad always made a point to tell us kids he passed away when watching his movies. He never went into details, but it always made me sad. Loved watching reruns of News Radio in High School. It was the only time I was disappointed to see Jon Lovitz on screen, because I knew that he replaced him after the fact. He truly was a great actor, funny man, and sincerely seemed like the nicest guy ever.
Absolutely Loved that whole cast on News Radio and the episode with Phil Hartman and his cane obsession was one of my favorites. . . .it was such a shock when he died and along with the death of Norm MacDonald where the two "celebrity deaths" that hit me the hardest (I think in no small part because it was so obvious that their talents/humor were truly extraordinary and irreplaceable).
@@stephenlayden9434 Norm is definitely one of my favorites too. I love the I'm not Norm channel. I was watching it religiously before he died. Now it just makes me sad. George Carlin hit me pretty hard too, because it wasn't long after he came through my state and not being able to see him live. I immediately bought a hard copy of "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?" when I heard.
He was an amazing person and so funny on every level. I enjoyed all his work in SNL, The Simpsons, News Radio (I own the entire series), and all the movies he'd pop up in. He always made everything he appeared in much better (or more enjoyable to watch). I remember purchasing a Playstation game called Blasto in April '98 because Phil did the voice of the main character. Even though I'm just a fan, it definitely felt like I lost a family member when he passed. Thank you so much for all the shows you do, but especially these two honoring Phil. What an spectacular tribute. Very emotional but also very endearing to hear and feel all the love. ♥
I find myself getting profoundly sad in between guests. It’s good that you kept those very concise. Thanks for this. It can’t have been easy as fun as it may seem at times. I’m halfway through and I listened to the live version, and I keep hoping that Lovitz will come on. I don’t know if he will. I have heard him talk about Phil and I could see how this kind of thing could push him too far, but I also hope it would be cathartic. Thanks.
This is why we need this show.

@@Kain5thJealous???
Parts 1 and 2 were both fantastic! Thank you Dana and David!
This was a great pleasure as I’ve always held such a reverence for Hartman & had a teenage crush on Jan Hooks, thanks ❤️
Phil was the BEST ever and I just listened to the first episode and now this episode as these memories make me smile!
Phil was one of my favorite SNL cast members. ❤
Not a single one of these guys remembered the great phil hartman Simpsons character LIONEL HUTZ
You mean Miguel Sanchez 😅
Thanks ladies and lads. We will forever bear the weight of his absence.
You guys are great. Phil Hartman was a damn genius. I loved him like you said some of his and John levitz stuff together was comedy Gold and you could tell but a nice guy he was underneath.
Hartman and Candy are probably my favorite comedians of all time
Dana is number 1 for me. A naturally funny 'Irishman'.❤
Hi! I’m Troy McClure. You may know me from such movies as “Gladys The Groovy Mule” and “Laugh Coast Guard, Laugh”.
And "Hitler Doesn't Live Here Anymore."
I remember Phil's commercials for the Ha! cable comedy network, where he did his John Wayne in German bit - and knew I was looking at the real thing.
I enjoyed Part 2 of the Phil episode more than the first. The focus of the discussion seemed to stay more on Phil compared to Part 1. For anyone who hasn't seen all of Phil's Simpsons episodes, you really should check out the 1996 episode "A Fish Called Selma." It focuses entirely on Phil's Troy McClure character, and tells a great story with a lot of Hollywood satire. I would've wanted to ask Conan if Phil contributed to the writing of his Simpsons characters at all. There are some aspects of Troy McClure that seem similar to the old timey actor Phil played in the SNL sketch with Lovitz. Phil had actually been doing cartoon voice work since 1979. His biggest role before SNL and The Simpsons was definitely the Dennis the Menace cartoon, where he played both Mr. Wilson and Henry Mitchell for 65 episodes that aired in 1986.
Conan's segment of this podcast reminded me of when I met Diane Salinger (Simone in Pee-wee's Big Adventure) at a convention and asked her if she knew Phil. She said Phil took her out to dinner once, but she was put off because he was doing voices and talking like a radio announcer during the date. There's a little bit of a theme going on here of people not feeling like they got to know the "real Phil." This notion curiously ties into the Steve Martin SNL cold open with the big musical number about Steve being jaded with show business, where Phil's lyrics were, "I hide behind these wigs and this makeup, but tonight I'm going to let myself shine through. You're going to see the real Phil Hartman tonight." On the other hand, people like Jon Lovitz seem to have connected very well with Phil personally. Phil also seems pretty open and honest in his interviews, even though he's also performing in them. It does seem like Phil was from the old school of guys who didn't like to show and express all of their inner feelings to everyone they knew.
News Radio, Bill's cane is the best!
The Real Deal with Bill McNeal.
Legend. Dearly missed by all fans of comedy and artistic greatness.
So many laughs have been generated by Phil Hartman. I loved his portrayal of Jesus.
Hi. I’m Troy Mclure
Phil Hartman was a favourite of mine , a very funny man .His voice for" Sid the clown " on Ren and Stimpy stands out for me , and his very funny appearance on Letterman, dressed up like a screen idol with a thin moustache drawn on with a marker pen.
One Phil moment that makes a bad sketch great was one with Danny Devito and someone else and they're having a heated conversation in a restaurant and the gimmick was the camera would zoom into everyone's face after the other insinuated they had done something and they would nervously dart their eyes back and fourth.
The joke is getting old as the sketch drolls along. Then Phil comes in as the waiter apologizing for the long wait and Danny Devito says "About damn time, what the hell have you been doing back there? Playing with yourself??"
The camera zooms in on Phil's face, and he nervously darts his eyes back and forth, and the crowd erupts in applause.
OMG, Lovitz is a genius. Get to know me and thespian."Oy, what a question." Incredible.
This made me think of when Phil would play the angry dad.Just nails it where you forget it is him.The Denise show and Dysfunctional Family Feud were two examples I can think of.
Wow, just read. Phil Hartman would have been 75 years old now. September 24, 1948. 😍😢😍😢😍😢😍😢
I think of Fobody's Nault sketch a few times a year and just laugh to myself. He was a legend.
Love, love, love! Wow, great show and memories. Thanks for putting this together.
Thoroughly enjoyed.
RIP Phil.
This is amazing. Thank you!
Thank you for allowing us to hear such a great conversation! 💕
Keitel’s appearance also included “The Pinky Ringery” and the “Bensonhurst Dating Game” which are fantastic.
Funny Renaissance man remembered.😊
Thanks.
I am jealous of the server thing: snl:nbc is stingy with sharing old sketches. I hated the tribute dvd’s like for Farley when you would pay for a dvd and they wouldn’t even show the full sketch’s. Would love to see unaired sketches. They could be selling better tributes or server style passes to the whole collection.Hartman/Farley/Macdonald are no brainer’s. Would love to have access to their complete collections.
Agreed. I read in an article once about a sketch about something like Phil playing a bee pollenating a flower that was cut, and never aired. Who knows what kind of gold mine is on those servers of things we've never seen with some of our favorite cast members.
Great one. 💙
"I'm just a simple caveman. Your world frightens and confuses me. But even I know that my client should be awarded damages". The way he says things so eloquently yet you know he is bamboozling the jury. lol
Great hair color on Spade
This is great 👍
There should be a docu-podcast film, with all the interviews and then cutting to the clips. These need to be seen!
Most Excellent ¿
I wonder if Phil was ever playing a character or trolling with some of these hobbies. Lol. It just fits so perfectly in with his old time gentlemen vibe. Like he could play the pipe smoking, robe wearing, guy. Seems so classy.
Hi, this is Troy McClure you may remember me from such educational films as Alice's adventure through the windshield glass.
i loved this
Uncle John pancakes sketch best ever love you Phil
❤Phil Hartman😂🥰❤🤣❤❤🥰So good.❤
the toy phone bit Phil did on letterman made me laugh so hard and it made me think of will's audition
I took 6 groundlings classes
I have no doubt that if Phil was still alive he would still be voicing the Simpsons and probably would have eventually become a comedic fixture on HBO, Showtime, Netflix, etc. and may have expanded his repertoire into dramatic roles as well.
I have noticed Mr Host, that you aren’t willing to give your name. I hope you do sometime. I look forward to your upcoming look at the different types of stork causing human overpopulation. I enjoyed your last one “1865: the year racism ended”.
Keep the creativity alive.
3:00:04 People always say Troy McClure, but usually it's more Lionel Hutz.
LOL @3:22:27 and 3:14:41
Honey, I'm home!
❤ Phil
Genius
Phil was so funny
I’ll never forget him on that HBO special that Pee Wee Herman had.
Captain Karl
Really disgusted his wife was so emotionally bankrupt
How are you not familiar with Marge vs the Monorail, its one of the greatest pieces of television in our planets history
Kind of sad to think David Spade was doing a sitcom in the '90s and wasn't familiar enough with The Simpsons to know who Troy McClure was. No wonder Just Shoot Me wasn't that funny, LOL.
once more with feeling, [the conclusion of] the main one been waiting for. thank you. hopefully a norm macdonald tribute down the pike too. an amy poehler episode would be most excellent as well. and mr. chappelle, for certain [visuals would be great, but guessing there must be a reason there is not]
I know this show is SNL forward, but oh, my god, the man was so funny on News Radio.
"Don't try to confuse the issue with half truths and gorilla dust."
Greatest sitcom of all time
The episode they did with Jon Lovitz as the suicidal jumper was my introduction to Newsradio. Every SNL fan should at least check that episode out. Phil's whole entire last year was hilarious, and I could never decide whether I liked his last season of Newsradio better than his SNL work or vice versa. At that point, he had fully learned how to be hilarious as basically a version of himself rather than playing an exaggerated character.
such a dank part 2
Troy McClure was a mix of B movie Doug McClure and Troy Donahue.
Doug finds Phil's character funny when his kids bring it up to him.
phil was great. he was so controlled and serious he was like bud abbot or maybe gracie allen. i've only seen them in the context of their show but they were straight and even and phil was so committed. he wasn't overacting but he was 100% into the bit. i like when he did the announcer voice. i love the colon blow commercials. it's on par with new shimmer from the original snl crew. people that didn't get to see him missed out on something special. i can't even watch the new stuff because they have become so woke and inclusive. they ruined the show. i wish they had a sctv reboot and kids in the hall. there are still good comedians because comedy evolves but also doesn't change. there's always someone that can find a special insight into the mundane and insane parts of life. loved phil as captain carl i didn't realize it was him until years later. there's special people in comedy like tim conway and jonathan winters and mel brooks, jerry lewis. gene wilder and richard pryor.bob newhart. michael meyers kevin nealon and norm macdonald. dennis miller. i feel i grew up in a special time. we have so much talent in all areas of entertainment. music, comedy, acting. in the last 100 years it's like everything accelerated and reached a pinnacle then went into steep decline. the only things that are still holding on is comedy and technology. we had great movies and tv shows and we lived in a time where we went from radio to tapes and albums then cds, and movies in drive ins to multiplex theaters to streaming in home. we went from phones on the walls to phones in our pockets. so so pictures on small screens to hd on huge tvs and pocket size screen tvs with incredible pictures. from antenna tv to wifi. phil gave us a glimpse of what could be. he showed us how much better things can be if you do things with all your heart and do it even though it's only helping other people. like you said he didn't have an ego. he did things to make others look good, but it made him shine even more because he is so much better than most people. when he put everything into it the other people on the set looked better because his performance enhanced what everyone else did. he put it all out there and the other people could either step up their game or phone it in and it still looked good.
Phil was the best. I loved him in everything and especially when he was paired with Jan Hooks. The Calvin Klein spoof, "Compulsion," comes to mind, but my favorite sketch of all time is this one: czcams.com/video/4X3RiliFsHw/video.html
The Trump Christmas sketch is probably my favorite. It's a great showcase for them as a couple. And it wasn't a mean-spirited sketch. It was about irony and satire, not insults. czcams.com/video/v9WoSitRLgY/video.html
The idea of Phil erecting the mast on his little boat in a bottle as Mike walks in is a sketch within a sketch. I think he used his hobbies to rehearse as well.
Definitely. This was like the "James Franco has a lot of jobs" bit 20 years earlier. Phil could've had a character of a guy who has too many hobbies. It's a real shame Phil "held back" some of his characters for a future TV show that didn't happen. Not the best strategy, because if his characters got popular, it would've helped him get that show on the air.
It's improv. He showed us the comic potential in even the most mundane activities. That's why I love him.@@jedijones
I use my Warlord rights on my son's French fries all the time.
12:12 that's right say my name
OMG Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer... Saturday Night Live needs to get back to this kind of writing and talent...
About 26 minutes they mentioned that Phil could do the German Jon Wayne and the you know that that whole thing was part of his audition he did a stick of a German stand-up comedian who did impressions, so he would do the different impressions but do them in German and it would just be the translation of the famous lines of each of the, but in really basic high school German grammar. That's what made it funny for me because I took German in high school and I remember the first year it was all very cut and dry and basic and boring sounding and not really German sounding until you admit a German foreign exchange student and actually learn how to have an accent and actually sound regular.
So when he would do that bit, Straight sounding bad high School German dialect, that was a whole other humorous layer.
It’s been a long time since I saw Phil on SNL but Giant Business Man stuck with me 😂🥰😎
❤❤❤❤
No Andy Dick interview?
David Spade was an SCC Artichoke….thats classic! Remember seeing him at Anderson’s Fifth Estate in Scottsdale doing stand up on comedy night…doing a bit about kickball and the pitcher throwing a “bouncer” …no fair! Lol…..soooo funny even back that….great show guys! Great memories….
Guys, I love the concept and have been waiting for an episode about Phil Hartman...
So, why on God's green earth did you not spend the whole time talking about PHIL HARTMAN?????!!!!!!!
Am I the only one wondering why this is the case?
they should do one for norm next
I'd like to see Jan Hooks next, especially since she's so undercovered and less talked about compared to someone like Norm.
Does this part two also the nclude part one do you think? Three hours plus is very long
Where are the tribute shows for Norm and Jan Hooks?
So many great guests, Dave just can't stop laughing every time Bill Hader open his mouth, Bill looks like such a cool dude
It’s funny I didn’t really like Bill Hader on SNL,until his last season. After that I have watched him and listen to him talking, and like you he seems like a great guy, and very talented in his writing and acting. 😉
I still feel bad I thought he was a dud. They did him wrong the first few seasons, luckily his last few got good!🙂
@@devinangola3458 I don't see the appeal of him. And his segment was the most useless in this episode.
59:04 the sound cuts out for a second. What was the joke? I missed it.
I was imagining a Bio Pic about Phil. 02:48:13
