More Comic-On-Comic Hilarity

[Ksyrup]

Rogan and Mencia have nothing on this. I had never heard this angle about Hartman's death. And yes, it's from the NY Post, but still...



July 17, 2007 -- IT was fight night at an L.A. comedy club last week when Jon Lovitz roughed up Andy Dick over the murder of their "Saturday Night Live" colleague, Phil Hartman.

Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who witnessed the assault, said, "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose." Lovitz told Page Six, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is a [bleep]hole."

Lovitz and Dick have been at loggerheads since a 1997 Christmas party at Hartman's house, five months before his troubled wife Brynn flipped out, fatally shooting Hartman, then killing herself. "Andy was doing cocaine, and he gave Brynn some after she had been sober for 10 years. Phil was furious about it - and then five months later he's dead," said Lovitz, adding that when he filled in on Hartman's "Newsradio" sitcom, "I told Andy, 'I wouldn't be here now if you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine.' "

Last year, Lovitz related, a drunken Dick strolled up to his table at Ago in West Hollywood, rudely downed his guests' peach liqueur drinks, and "looked at me and said, 'I put the "Phil Hartman hex" on you - you're the next one to die.' I said, 'What did you say?' and he repeated it. I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women."

When the two ran into each other at the Laugh Factory last Wednesday, "I wanted him to say he was sorry for the 'Phil Hartman hex,' " Lovitz told us. "First he says, 'I don't remember saying that.' Then he leans in and says, 'You know why I said it? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman.' Which I never said. Then he asked me to be in his new movie.

"I grabbed him by the shirt and leaned him over and said, 'I don't want to be in your movie! I don't want to be in your life!' I pushed him against the rail. Then I pushed him again really hard. A security guard broke it up. I'm not proud of it . . . but he's a disgusting human being." Dick's rep said he had no comment.

Dick's weirdness has been well documented. Last year, he licked the faces of Farrah Fawcett, Carrie Fisher and Patton Oswalt, then groped and bit the hand of Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller at a comedy-festival taping.

I think I would jump off of a bridge if I ever got beat up by Lovitz.

Sounds like the Dick deserved it.

I'm still amazed that Andy Dick can even find work. He is just a very annoying man.

Yeah, I'm also mildly surprised that he's still alive. He seems like he has a death wish.

[Passacaglia]

I don't recall Andy Dick being on Saturday Night Live.

[Ksyrup]

The living arrangements are trumped in their bizarreness only by the fact that this guy has 3 kids!



In 1986, Andy married Ivone Kowalczyk, an artist, and welcomed their first child together, son Lucas Dick, in 1988. Andy and Ivone later divorced in 1990. However, they continued to live together platonically for their son's benefit. They both entered long term relationships and eventually they, their son, her boyfriend, Andy's new girlfriend (Lina Sved; became involved in 1993), and the two children (son Jacob Dick (born in 1994) and daughter Meg (born in September 1997)) the girlfriend had with Andy, all shared the same home for many years.

I thought that, too, but the three of them were never regular cast members at the same time.

Details, details. It's the Post.

Unless Dick was a writer or something back in the day on SNL.

"Giving" someone drugs seems to be a big thing in the addict community, but I'm sure in that world, Phil Hartman's wife would have other temptations in 10 years.

Dick having kids is surprising. Dick still dating women is even more surprising.

Probably, but then it would have been someone else's fault for enabling her.

Phil Hartman is probably my favorite all-time comedian. I miss him.

Dick has a 1 hour show, thursday nights on Stern's Sirius channel. I hope he talks about this, should be entertaining.

Seriously. It's all about the Stalls thread.

Yeah, but he was talking about when he filled in for Hartman.
