Today marks the tenth anniversary of Phil Hartman's murder. It seems like a good opportunity to think back on what an incredible comedic presence he was before he died. Pee Wee's Playhouse and Big Adventure? SNL? The Simpsons? NewsRadio? Most people live a whole lifetime and don't make that kind of rich and profound impact on comedy and pop culture, but Phil Hartman did it in 49 years. What I'm trying to say is, you're a loser.

They have an article that states that Phil Hartman shot his wife and then killed himself. I thought you'd like to know.
I get verklempt when I think about his goodbye scene from SNL, singing "So Long Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen good night", when he was tearing up at saying goodbye to being a regular cast member of SNL.
Oh god, so many episodes of Newsradio…the butler episode, the episode where Bill is trying to write his memoirs, the episode where he interviews for a TV station, the blue genie jeans commercial, all classics! Newsradio was such a great damn show. Well, off to Youtube to find some clips! RIP Phil, we miss you terribly.
um… anyway that those of us living outside of the good ol' U.S. of A. could get to watch these clips?
