Phil played the perfert jerk, the best straight man ever and the best pompous ass you'd ever seen (See NewsRadio, LOL). I loved his eyebrow arch too, he was so great at being subtle, and had the most incredible voice. He is and was THE GREATEST! He was probably the best-looking comedian on SNL ever too. Very handsome and cute. Great actor too. If you liked wit and humor, Phil was your man. Phil SHOULD be 60...life isn't fair. That's Penelope. And I like that sketch too, LOL.

I kinda like the A-Hole sketch too, and The Target Lady for some reason, and also Penelope. Maybe she'll grow on me over time...Also like her Aunt Irma (or whatever it is) whenever she reviews movies on Weekend Update, that's kinda funny too. I wonder if she's ever seen Phil's sketches? He was and forever will be brilliant. Of course he's in a better place...he's in Heaven making God laugh. :) Still miss him down here though...:*(

I never read it, hope I can find it online. Definitely a major blow, and it still shocks me to this day, I miss him. It's still kinda hard to watch him cuz I get tears in my eyes when I do, he was so cool and looked like a sweet man...someone you would love to have in your life forever.

i agree with u on the "too early to tell" part, but the comparison 2 phil can be found in the comedy issue of gq magazine with seth rogen on the cover. but yeah, phil's death was a major blow 2 comedy.

yeah i love the 2 a-holes sketch she does with jason. and the name of the other kristen sketch u mentioned was penelope. whats also ironic is the fact that both her and phil came from the groundlings which breeds comedy superstars. but yeah it still shocking 2 this day that phil is dead. hopefully he is in a better place.

Yeah I love Kristen. She has the similiar dead-pen delivery that Phil Hartman had on SNL. I love her sketch with Jason Sadkiss "Two A-Holes" You know the annoying married couple that calls each other babe all the time. It's soo funny. And the sketch where she would upstage everyone with lies. I'm not sure of her name but that sketch is funny. Phil Hartman would be doing that if he were still on the show. I can't believe this year Phil would be 60 years old. He was just soo funny!!! I miss him.

I'm not a huge fan of Kristen Wiig, and I've never compared her to anyone, especially Phil, but she could be, it's still too early to tell. The only woman I've ever compared to Phil Hartman would be Jan Hooks, she was awesome. Phil was amazing and I hope he is smiling down on the current SNL, because to me, the show kinda died with him when he left in 1994. If he was still alive, he would've hosted like 10 more times for sure, and I'd enjoy every minute of it.

And just 5 months apart from each other too. So heartbreaking and it hurts that they're both not around anymore. :*( RIP Phil and Chris...We miss you both!

especially kristen wiig. in terms of her actual comedic talent she has gotten so many comparisons 2 phil, even from lorne michaels. i really hope she enjoys great success in her career. u know phil is probably smiling down from heaven on the current cast!

i know. its tragic that both had 2 die at the prime of their careers.

does anyone know where I can find a video of Phil's goodbye with Chris Farley on SNL?

I want that song.

I can't get over how sad Phil's voice sounds when he walked on stage and put his arm around Chris Farley, so heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time, and so tragic...Definitely one of the greatest moments in SNL history, so surreal too.

I think so too, and I think even Phil would get an awesome movie role, that would even give him an Oscar nomination. Chris would have been great in more movies too. ITA! They both owned the stage everytime they walked on, especially Phil, he just had this amazing presence about him, and he was the perfect "straight man" to everyone else, I loved when he played the crazy guys too LOL. I miss them both as well, but I just miss Phil more. Everyone looked up to him and respected him alot.

I believe Phil and Chris would be the biggest movies stars in the world today if they were still alive. They owned the stage when they were on it. I miss them both a lot.

ITA! When Phil left especially, SNL lost it's heart and soul and charm! He was called "The Glue" for a reason. Chris Farley was great too, and seeing them on stage like that was funny at the time, but so sad, yet beautiful cuz Phil had tears in his eyes when he sang it.

I think alot of them know about Phil and I hope they've watched his sketches to know how truly fabulous he was. He was just a happy happy person and to die like that is so tragic.

Hartman was so funny and loved his life so much. I believe the current cast have learned so much Hartman.

SNl changed soo much when Chris left and when Phil left. And when they died, it was strange. It's still funny but not the same.

beatiful comment

10 years...

actuallly it made me laugh

ITA, and it brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch it, and I just lose it when I hear Phil's voice. :(

This is one of the best tributes to Phil Hartman that I've ever seen.

oh jesus that made me cry :p
