Makes sense. It was worse for me because I didn't like Jon Lovitz to begin with. But I really softened on him when I learned that he beat up Andy Dick. gently caress Andy Dick, I fully believe that Jon was right when he said Andy was to blame for Phil's death.

I just read about the original dee thing.

lovely situation but if I were involved in a project with a person who I was going through a nasty break-up with and no longer loved or even liked, while at the same time facing pressure to replace her for a chance at millions of dollars and a successful tv show, i'd probably do what Rob did. Maybe(probably) I'm weak.

Also, Season 12 was okay enough, nowhere near the glory years(s2-s8) imo. While still a strong show worthy of watching, it is starting to get creatively stale and probably best for them to put it to bed for a year or two to work on other things. That way they they can come back refreshed with new ideas for the last era of the series.

Personally I wouldn't mind a 2-3 year break then coming back for one last season and a movie to finish things off.

The story is that Brynn Hartman was a recovering addict/alcoholic, then Andy Dick got her back into it not long before she went on to murder-suicide Phil, and was found to have cocaine in her system

Yeah, Andy Dick brought cocaine to a Christmas party that they were hosting, and then Brynn went downhill from there.

It would've ended there had Dick not run into Lovitz at a restaurant years ago, taunting him by putting "the Phil Hartman hex on you, you're the next to die." Lovitz then lost it and just started beating him up. I actually remember someone making a recursive Flash animated gif of Jay Sherman smashing Dick's face into a bar surface.

I heard this story years ago and to see it being thrown around as fact to this day is hilarious. Addiction doesn't work like that. Addicts are always addicts. You're always in recovery. No one can force you to relapse. She was 10 years sober and lost it. It's akin to blaming a drug dealer for someone's overdose. Andy Dick is an rear end in a top hat for sure, but he didn't kill Phil Hartman, nor did he have a hand in his death.

On it's own, sure, but the context of the fight was always the fact he brought it up to Lovitz. It's one thing to say "Well objectively it's not like he held her down and forced her to do cocaine", it's another to say that when he's joking that he got the guy killed to a close friend of the person. That's when you catch a beating and everyone cheers.

Doesn't really sound like Dick was intending to be 'joking' but yeah, according to Lovitz himself he doesn't blame Dick for the murder anymore and instead it was just because AD was living up to his name:

quote:

Lovitz had joined the show, of which Dick was a co-star, after his friend Hartman was shot and killed by Hartman's wife, Brynn.

"[Andy] was just complaining and really giving me a hard time for no reason. Phil told me that they had a Christmas party and Andy was doing cocaine and he gave it to Phil's wife Brynn, who had been sober for 10 years. So Andy said to me, 'Well, you shouldn't be here,' and I said, 'Well, I wouldn't be here if you hadn't given Brynn coke in the first place.'"

Eventually, the two worked out their differences, or so Lovitz thought.

"Later on we made up, and I said 'I'm sorry I said that,'" Lovitz said. "I realized it really wasn't his fault. Everything was fine for years."

But everything changed when Dick visited a restaurant of which Lovitz is part-owner. Lovitz said he was sitting at a table with a friend, and a group at the table next to them treated them to some peach liqueurs. Apparently, Dick and a friend came over to their table, and downed both liqueurs.

"He's standing there with liqueur dripping down his chin and he says, 'I put the Phil Hartman hex on you, you're the next one to die,'" said Lovitz. "And he's smiling, and my blood just went to my head. I wanted to smash him, but if I hit him he would have gone flying into the table behind him. He was really drunk."

Lovitz told Dick's friend to take his buddy out of the restaurant and vowed never to let him back in again. He didn't see Dick again until Wednesday night, when Lovitz was performing his weekly show at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.

"So I do my show and there's all these people there and then I'm done and the MC's up on stage and I see Andy's up on stage and I'm like 'Oh my God, what's he going to do?'" he said.

Lovitz met up with Dick in the packed lobby after the show. Lovitz wanted an apology from Dick for his "Hartman's hex" comment. But, apparently, Dick hadn't really buried the hatchet over their initial argument during their stint on "Newsradio."

"I just wanted him to say, 'Oh, I'm sorry,'" said Lovitz. "Then he leans into me, 'Well you know why I said that? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman that's the first thing you said to me when you got on the show.' I just lost it so I grabbed him by the shirt and I pushed him against the wall. And he's just smiling at me, and then I realized 'oooh, here's my chance.' So I grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him really hard and I smashed his back and his head into the bar. And I did it again. I would have kept going, but the doorman broke it up."

I've been listening to the podcast him and Dino Stamatopoulos do and it's really interesting. It's sorta bad, but quite unique. I think Andy has the problem that he doesn't put a lot of effort into thinking about how his words and actions affect others, at least not in the short term. I don't think he should be let of the hook for lovely behaviour or anything, but I don't want to demonize him either. He's a hard guy to pin down.

A person who encourages someone else to commit suicide can be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Not to say it's quite the same, but it's fair to say Andy Dick has some responsibility.

If someone is an alcoholic and you give them alcohol and they drink it and fall off the wagon, you don't get to pretend that none of it is your fault. Putting a vulnerable person in a dangerous situation is bad.

If someone is an alcoholic and have been sober for 10 years, they know how to avoid triggers and situations that might cause them to relapse. I'm sure a Hollywood party is not a good place for someone like that to be and she navigated that poo poo for a decade. "Giving" someone alcohol or drugs in an environment like that is a joke. It's everywhere. She relapsed, combined alcohol and drugs while on psych meds and killed Phil Hartman.

Andy Dick is an rear end in a top hat, again, but he's not culpable. The fact that no one is as mad at Brynn for murder as they are at Andy for being a twat is mindblowing.

I was mad at her 20 years ago when I found out one of my favorite comedic actors was killed by his crazy wife. Now I'll be mad at Andy Dick for possibly being the catalyst.

You can easily tell when someone has never interacted with a true addict before. Give my dad one drink and even though he's been sober for 15 years he'd spiral right back to the bottom within weeks/months. It has happened before after his friends egged him on into "just having a drink or two once a week" with them. Some people just can't do things in moderation and are better off just avoiding it altogether.

I think because convo got to the point of discussing how different filming styles can change the format of a sit com. Phil Hartman came up when that last show he was on came up (News Radio or whatever).
