Drove Jon in a limo once 2 an Awards Show. Tipped me front explaining he was gonna get drunk and might not remember too after. We agreed on a place to meet up afterwards. He and Chris Farley and dates came out to agreed meeting place and he goes into a big theatrical performance for the people milling about on where is my fn Driver while im standing behind him next to Farley and the Ladies and they are as entertained as much as myself and the crowd. He finished it up with, "Oh there you are, well no tip for you". Everyone just lost it. He and Farley cracking each other up that night in the back of the Limo was a lifetime experience. Love you Jon
I'm with Temp Sitch. Lovitz has the unique voice & used it well for comedic effect 20, 30 years ago; it got stale though his stand-up attempts a few years ago were pretty bad.
Lends credence to what Al Jean said when asked “is Lovitz really like that or is it a character he plays?” Jean’s response, “it’s a character he plays but he plays it 24/7.”
His story about how he auditioned for "Married with Children" is hilarious. Even more so that it was based on his performance in "Of Mice and Men". ua-cam.com/video/butNX7mnsKk/v-deo.html
@@djrychlak4443 he called his time in the mob "an evil life" He renounced it all, moved away with his wife and kids, avoiding a number of contracts on his life, including one by his father. I am NO fan of jailhouse conversions, but this guy seems sincerely penitent.
@@edwardknoch4987 Nope, do not believe him for a second. Wanted to comment on one of his videos where he called some hardcore criminals he had to deal with "good people" but decided against it.
A great story and just a funny way to lighten the atmosphere of an uncomfortable situation. It takes a special person to be able to do that and pull it off. God bless Jon.
@@wuffalo Jon isn’t dead. This was about him lightening up the atmosphere after Phil Hartman had passed away who was a really dear friend of his. You terrified me for a second, I thought he passed away too. Thank God.
The whole idea that you can’t joke about certain things because it’s too offensive flies in the face of the real power of comedy. Comedy is there to lift us up, give us hope, make us laugh, at the darkest moments in our lives.
It's one thing if a person makes a dark joke to have a measure of catharsis over a terrible situation, it's another to say something that you know will hurt someone else and say it anyway. I love dark jokes, make them all the time, but one needs to read the room.
Such a terrible tragedy in what happened to Phil. Jon is just one of those comedians who you get or you don't get. I remember watching the prime time live special of Saturday's Night Live's 40th anniversary. They had an "in memoriam" video where it showed all of the many cast members they had lost in death over the decades. It was very emotional, but they made a small joke out of it by showing Jon Lovitz when Jon was actually alive and well sitting in the audience. They did it twice and both times Jon grimaced and looked confused as hell when the camera panned on him. The joke being is that he isn't dead, but his career was long dead. I don't know if he was in on the joke or knew about it, but he played along rather convincingly. Director Penny Marshall appreciated his glum humor and cast him in Big and A League of their Own. We need to see more Jon Lovitz in these depressing times!
Jon took Phil’s death really hard. But, I understand Jon making a joke out of it for Ed. Because, humor can be used as a defense mechanism in this type of situation. I know, because I do the same thing as well. In February 1981, I lost my father after a massive coronary ruptured his heart. I remember sitting in the front row at his funeral, just thinking about him, and what I had just lost. While running through memories in my mind, one particular memory really stood out. The summer of 1976 was excruciatingly hot, and we couldn’t afford an AC unit, and didn’t have central air. So, my dad put a fan in my bedroom window, blowing outward. I told him that he put the fan in backwards. And he replied, “NEITHER IT AIN’T!” And, there it was. Those three words caused me to start laughing. At first, I put my hand over my mouth to stifle the my laughter. But, it didn’t work. So, with my hand over my mouth, I had to leave the funeral because I could not stop laughing. I went into the bathroom laughing so hard, I was in tears. A staff member of the funeral home followed me into the bathroom thinking I was crying. When I was able to compose myself, I told him that memory, and made him laugh too. That memory still makes me laugh. So, as I said, I understand Jon’s cracking a joke. It’s a natural reaction.
I'm the same. I'm glad you had a funny memory at that time, your dad would have loved it. At my dad's wake, we let balloons go in memory. There was one balloon that lagged behind. My sister and I looked at each other and at the same time we said "That one is dad". He was always late. 😂😂😂😂
@@Malcolmdeeb But, Ed will! Now, I can only leave you with this exchange with Ross, Rachel & Phoebe from "Friends". It will explain everything. "Ross : Well, of course you can defend yourself from an attack you know is coming, that's not enough. Look, I studied karate for a long time, and there's a concept you should really be familiar with. It's what the Japanese call unagi. Rachel : Isn't that a kind of sushi? Ross : No, it's a concept. Phoebe : Yeah, it is! It is! It's freshwater eel. Ross : All right, maybe it means that too. Rachel : Ooh! I would kill for a salmon skin roll right now. Ross : Y'know what? Fine! Get attacked! I don't even care!" You're welcome!
The phrase "taken too soon" is used a lot describing celebrity deaths. When it comes to Phil Hartman, it's on a whole different level. Tragic doesn't feel like a strong enough word.
There's a part of me that can't fully accept he's gone. If I come across a video of him on youtube, I"ll watch it and laugh like crazy... then for a second I'll think, "I wonder what he's up to these days?" Then I remember. This happens a lot, too.
Jon is comic genius of epic proportions. His "washed up actor" bit with Hartman is the best skit SNL has ever done, possibly tied with Matt Foley, motivational speaker with Applegate.
I used that sketch for inspiration for my sketch "Small Role" in this comedy group I was part of briefly. I played Phil Hartman's role,but had Jon Lovitz role altered to he two shady casting producers where they try to persuade me to do this role, going on and on about how I amgoing to be coated with a bunch of food toppings but I think it's a physical comedy and take it literally not figuratively. Needless to say, it was the best a big hit with the audience along with my own Fidel Castro's catering service where we put the "Fiesta in Fiesta"😎
Jerry Seinfeld talked about how comedians immediately make jokes about someone dying. It was a Comedians in Cars episode, and I think Dave Chapelle was the guest. He said it’s just the way their minds work.
This is a sad story. A man greifing so much for his best friend, still has to make other people laugh. A lot of comedians have a mental issue making people laugh, because they dont want others to feel as bad as they do. SMH poor guy.
Heartbreaking. I remember as a kid (in chino hills ca) watching the breaking news of Harriman’s death and I can still visage the live, arial shots of his home. Comedians cover up their pain with humor. When you think, “oh he seems to be dealing with ‘that thing’ quite well, remember that you have no idea how the person actually feels.
Humour is the most powerful emotion. It trumps pain, anxiety, sadness, it trumps em all. You get someone dying of a disease laughing, and they forget they are ill.
It's like John Cleese giving a funny eulogy to David Chapman in '89. But even why he's being a professional, you can still see he's holding back tears. Of course John was devastated when he heard the news, but he was not gonna let the fact that his friend was dead to let a got joke get away.
One of those comics whose sheer demonstrative actions are enough to make a person howl with laughter...throw in his inflecting voice and your fit to be tied up in a straight jacket!
I knew something was coming and I still laughed uncontrollably, the second viewing I kne Eds pacing and I still laughed uncontrollably. I can totally understand Lovitz throwing up for a week after that and he is Godly for making sucha joke to Ed at that point in time. The comedically genius people we all get to enjoy, epic people all in question.
Met him at a spot on Sunset where my uncle was head chef. He was playing pool looking like a regular dude among people all decked out. I was 17 couldn’t be nicer to me.
Comedy is born of tragedy. It is the solace of the soul, the understanding of the pain and the deflection of mental torture, to laugh at the things that make us sad.
I actually have a a new respect for Lovitz because even though he loved his good friend and was devastated over what happened O’Neil gave him the perfect layup of a joke. A real comedian would take that as opposed to let’s say a Chevy Chase who would probably be a dick about it. I can just imagine Lovitz saying oh that.
CC is a wounded fella. I feel sorry for him. Give him some grace. There’s enough ugly in the world to make thirty laps around the planet. ...just sayin.
Chevy Chase is a awesome dude! not sure how you can even think he would be a dick. thats just crazy talk. he is one of the most amazing people in hollywood.
@@govtom4 True. Maybe that’s why I never found him funny, just odd, & not in a likable or rememberable way. Not much of a draw, just an ordinary extra.
@@sunshine3914 His scene in Christmas Vacation at the Macy’s in Chicago is pretty funny for me, but not my wife. I’m easy to make laugh, though. I find myself exceedingly funny, for instance.
I love that in real life ed o'neill is just a complete class act, it's kind of a bummer that we haven't gotten to see him in another role since married with children
I can attest to the fact that suddenly losing my best friend of 55 years since kindergarten, senselessly, at the fault of others, is beyond gut wrenching. I wish there was a way to find some humor in it.
I 100% believe this story. When you're used to telling jokes and making people laugh, it becomes your default way of dealing with things. Just days after my dad passed away, I was prone to tossing around some gallows humor that often caught people off guard; but that's just how I deal with stuff. I'd prefer to turn the situation around and make it something people can get laugh at.
I love this guy. Ed. Married with children has been on 2 times a week for hours each days. He's the best. Can never have that type of humor now a days. It's sad
Yet it still runs. Then of course there is South Park, Family Guy etc, comedians like Burr and Jimmy Car 🙄 "cAn nEvEr hAvE tHaT hUmOr nOw dUh" 🥴 🤔 Pretty sure most the shit played now would "oFfEnD" the fuck out of the uptight ❄️s from the past 😂🤣
I've never watched his normal stand up and I trust Norm's opinion that Lovitz was a terrible stand up. BUT I must say, the only Lovitz stand up I've ever seen was a roast set on Comedy Central - Charlie Sheen's roast I think it was. And he was hilarious in that setting.
I loved Jon Lovitz in A League of Their Own. "We'll pay you thirty dollars a week to play ball." "We only make $15.00 a week milking cows." "Then this would be more."
Reminds me of when i was a kid and in the summer my Father would put a fan in the upstairs window, blowing out. I didn't realize it would cool off 10 times faster sucking in cooler outside air to the lower floor and venting hot air out the upper floor. Same as i didn't realize my Father was more than 10 times smarter than i . . . ☆
I had no idea where that story was going. Ed did a great job with is impersonation. I thought it was going to be like Jon pretending that he didn't know or something, which would have been half as funny. Freaking hilarious punchline to the story.
Jon Lovitz is cool, but Ed O’Neil is one of the best!!! In fact he played, in my opinion the greatest dad on television. And he had the two Hottest Wives on television.
He did so much in a short amount of time: co-wrote Pee Wee's Big Adventure, helped save SNL from being cancelled, did a bunch of movies, played the legendary Bill McNeal on Newsradio, did a bunch of work on the Simpsons... this is all in about 10 years time.
Dennis Miller said he auditioned for SNL at the same time Jon Lovitz was auditioning -- and said the only reason he got a bit on SNL was because it was physically impossible for Lovitz to do every skit.
Drove Jon in a limo once 2 an Awards Show. Tipped me front explaining he was gonna get drunk and might not remember too after. We agreed on a place to meet up afterwards. He and Chris Farley and dates came out to agreed meeting place and he goes into a big theatrical performance for the people milling about on where is my fn Driver while im standing behind him next to Farley and the Ladies and they are as entertained as much as myself and the crowd.

Of course Ed tells it perfectly
Who says he didn’t?
That's a great comment. You are right, no doubt.
No doubt
Hartman would have done something like this himself 👍
My respect for Lovitz as a comedian just increased with that story.
My estimation of John Sacrimoni as a man just fkin' plummeted.
You should hear the story about how he beat Andy Dick's ass at a bar because he was somewhat responsible for what happened to Phil.

Jon Lovitz is the most overlooked, under-appreciated SNL cast member of all time and it's not really close.
Nobody's overlooking him or under-appreciating him. Maybe you're schizophrenic.
Well he was on the in memorial at the last reunion lol so ya I guess that’s fair lol
I don’t like Jon, but I respect him for beating the piss out of Andy Dick.
Overlooked? Who overlooks him? The guy practically saved the show in 1986.
Hanukkah Harry!
Celebs often say they're going to tell you a really funny story, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't, but this story knocked it out of the park.

"He's losing his mind... and I'm reaping all the benefits."
I loved Jon Lovitz in A League of Their Own. "We'll pay you thirty dollars a week to play ball." "We only make $15.00 a week milking cows." "Then this would be more."
RIP Hartman was a standout
Reminds me of when i was a kid and in the summer my Father would put a fan in the upstairs window, blowing out. I didn't realize it would cool off 10 times faster sucking in cooler outside air to the lower floor and venting hot air out the upper floor. Same as
i didn't realize my Father was more than 10 times smarter than i . . . ☆
I had no idea where that story was going. Ed did a great job with is impersonation. I thought it was going to be like Jon pretending that he didn't know or something, which would have been half as funny. Freaking hilarious punchline to the story.
Jon Lovitz is cool, but Ed O’Neil is one of the best!!! In fact he played, in my opinion the greatest dad on television. And he had the two Hottest Wives on television.
"Good for you, Jack!"
That is fucking awesome.
Laughing at myself here.
Thank you Jon, Thank you Ed.
Hartman was in a class of his own ❤
He did so much in a short amount of time: co-wrote Pee Wee's Big Adventure, helped save SNL from being cancelled, did a bunch of movies, played the legendary Bill McNeal on Newsradio, did a bunch of work on the Simpsons... this is all in about 10 years time.
That was John being more concerned about Ed than himself.
Jons lines on "Friends" where he gets stoned before Monica's tasting party were classics .......
that made me LAUGH OUT LOUD
Man luved the Kevin pollack show
Watch 'High School High' or one of his many Roasts... the man is a comic genius.
One of the best laughs I’ve seen in cinema
Dennis Miller said he auditioned for SNL at the same time Jon Lovitz was auditioning -- and said the only reason he got a bit on SNL was because it was physically impossible for Lovitz to do every skit.
RIP Jon Lovitz!!
R.I.P.
He's still alive.
@@KickingAssDaily Comedy stops being funny when you have to explain it.
@@josephbenson4444 Not when it's done ironically.
Go ask Jon Lovitz, I bet he would laugh. Are you familiar with any of his work or Ed O'Neill? They have very nice dark humor.
That’s actually hilarious!
I mean thats such a good joke, and I don't know for sure, but I bet HE KNEW that Phil Hartman would have loved it.
John levitz is just Born to make you laugh
