Phil being a blubbering fool over the birth of his daughter completely melted my heart! He was such a stand up guy! This story will forever be tragic to me.
Haha "stand up" guy
@@junejune9619Phil would appreciate that you caught that!
When the wife said she left rehab because she missed her kids...makes me wonder, if he had divorced her, would she have killed them...
@@RogerLewis-ey2tt I don’t even want to think about that.
I worked with him. I loved him so much as a person. He was genuine, kind, down to earth. Stood out in the business. Very tragic story. Heartbroken 💔, will never forget him.
Can you say in what capacity? Did you meet her as well?
Tyvm for sharing! It helps us know he really WAS a nice guy.
Apparently Brynne was constantly accusing him of cheating and everyone who knew them said he would never, she was just super insecure and paranoid (I’m sure the drugs only egged on the paranoia). Also apparently she had been to rehab and been clean right before this happened (hence Phil saying they were doing really good) and it was Andy Dick who she ran into and he gave her coke and she relapsed and this happened right after. Jim Belushi saw Andy at a restaurant shortly after and knocked him out.
I think it was Jon Lovitz who knocked him out, but thank GOD someone called Andy dickhead out, heck that guy
Jon Lovitz also slammed Andy Dick’s head into a bar after Andy made a joke about putting the “Phil Hartman hex” on him and that he would be next to die.
(Jon Lovitz was a really close friend of Phil’s and had joined the cast of News Radio when Phil died. Andy Dick was also on the show with Phil and later Jon.)
Andy Dick faded into obscurity ever since. What a prick.
Andy Dick is a disgusting human being.
@@cortneyblohm466Thank you for explaining. I've heard Andy Dick talk in radio interviews, like O + A, several times about how cruel Lovitz was to him on set, citing realistic-sounding examples. He made J.L. sound like a sadistic monster who talked a lot of trash about Phil Hartman. This is a such a different picture, I get now why and how much J.L. must have hated Dick.
Phil and especially Robin Williams’ death, left a black hole in the comedy world that can’t be filled. There’s nobody like them. ❤
I cried at work when I found out about Robin Williams death 💔 Growing up with his movies brought me SO much comfort & it’s heartbreaking to know how much pain Robin was in at the end - even if the pain was just mental, sometimes that hurts more than any physical pain.
It's true when they say the people with the biggest smile hide the most pain. RIP Robin Williams you are missed. RIP Phil I hope your watching your babies grow from above.
I love Robin Williams and I don’t think we have any one as good as him right now in comedy
This comment was the first time I heard Robin Williams had died. I still have the CD of Ms. Doubtfire.
@@the1unknown130 he died in 2014…. I don’t buy you haven’t heard of his passing till this comment
This story always upset me from the very first time I heard it, so glad you are covering it.
AMAZING coverage as always!!
I also consider this a huge tribute!
I was only 12 when Phil died, but it hit me hard. Still does til this day. Couldn't watch this without crying, especially when he talked about his daughter being born. He lit up when talking about his kids. I think Brynn's killing of Phil was a complicated combination of loneliness, bitterness, and insecurity. Relationships are so much more complex than what's seen on the surface, especially when mental health and addiction are involved. I feel so bad for their children. My dad died when I was 3 and I lost my mom a few years ago. It's the worst pain imaginable to not have your parents around. Rest in peace, Phil. Your legacy lives on in your children and your work!
Beautifully stated, rest in peace.
Phil was the voice actor for Jiji in the English Disney dub of Kiki's Delivery Service. That was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It's so awful knowing that he had such a bright career ahead of him and his jealous wife just had to kill him. RIP Phil and much love to his kids who have now spent 25 years without their parents.
This! He was such a huge part of my childhood, I watched that movie on VHS over and over. I adored Jiji and the way he brought him to life! It’s so heartbreaking to hear of his tragedy.
That movie meant EVERYTHING to me when I was a child. Even inspired me to write a fantasy duology.
He also played Arnold Schwarzenegger's neighbor nemesis in "Jingle All the Way" 😅
That role was one of his last; if I remember right, it was released posthumously.
Hearing him talking about his children..literally brought me to tears. He was SO passionate about being a parent.
Like, literally! It was so beautiful, genuine and adorable the way he spoke about the birth of his daughter 🥹
@@lau4545 I wish we didn't live in a culture full of jokes about not respecting women and girls until you have your own daughter. It's still prevalent. Seemed like a good guy though.
@@GlassShark86 I was referring to what he said about it being even more shocking to hold his baby with the second time and how he kept starting to cry when talking about it, and not the feminism statement, but ok
@@lau4545 Yeah I got that. It's not an argument unless you make it one.
@@GlassShark86😂🤣
She knew exactly what she was doing. The fact that she could have called her sister to look after her kids tell you she was in sound mind.
I seem to recall controversy over this. That she was working on recovery, and at a party, Andy Dick gave her coke, and she was coked out when she shot Phil, and everyone blamed Andy Dick for Phil's death.
Not to mention how good she was able to operate a firearm. I remember being drunk & can barely walk, far less operate a complex piece of equipment 😮
Exactly
I wouldn't say she was "insane" at the time, but the fact that she didn't try to conceal it and seemingly hadn't made any plans for what to do afterward does suggest it wasn't something she had thought out. It seems like an extremely impulsive, split second decision of someone who was very mentally unstable. It doesn't excuse her from responsibility, but I highly question the idea that she was "of sound mind"...especially since it doesn't seem like she often was.
@@smartasafartyeah I remember an interview with John Lovitz where he said he almost kicked Andy Dick's ass for killing Phil
I was 20 years old when Phil was murdered. He'd been a comedic presence in my life as far back as I could remember. My friends and I were all devastated! Especially since Chris Farley had tragically died only 5 months before Phil!
Fun fact: I watched your last video from a salon in Cairo and the girl next to me looked over my shoulder and was like, “I love Kendall Rae! You also watch murder cases during a manicure?!” Thanks for making me a friend! Would love to hear your take on “The Dressmaker” case! 🇪🇬🤗💅
Rae
Girl, Cairo, Egypt? cuz if so then we should form a club here
@@sylviagad8866 yep!!
She was jealous of him and didn’t want to deal with the consequences. Wow…. Such a shame that a live was taken and children were left without either parent
It’s not as simple as that. Anyone who has been a mom, losing their identity, and who has had post partum depression and anxiety, understands how mental illness works. That, combined with marital problems and drugs.. is a recipe for disaster.
Phil Hartman was one of the funniest humans/alumni on SNL. So sad what happened to him.
I remember watching him in the movie Jingle All the Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad and his voice acting in Kiki's Delivery Service (Jiji) and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Salem)! He was a true icon who was taken before he deserved. My heart goes out to his children, they've suffered the most 😔💕
I remember this as if it was yesterday. This was truly sad. Phil Hartman was one of my favorite characters. I loved him on Saturday night live but especially on News Radio. This was devastating. May he continue to sleep peacefully ❤.. thanks for covering his story Kendall
Oh I loved News Radio! I forgot he was in that show.
Character? You mean actor?
@@darkb4light06I said character because he was a character on News Radio. But you you understood what I meant 😂
I loved watching news radio what's the deal with Bill McNeal 😢
@@yenilopez9449 I have the dvd set. Seen twice when medically benched. But never an episode after he's replaced.
So tragic. If you’ve never seen him alongside Sinbad in the movie Houseguest, it's still wildly entertaining after all of these years. His comedic genius will live always. You masterfully covered this case while honoring his life, legacy, and talent. Much appreciated.
That is one of my all time favorite movies! I was just a toddler when he was taken from this world but goodness he has always been a favorite of mine. Houseguest, Jingle All The Way, News Radio. Such an incredible comedian and seemed like such a genuinely nice person 💔
Love that movie
One of my favorite movies ever!!
When you said you were 5 when he passed away that aged me TERRIBLY. In my mind we’re the same age😂 This guy was hilarious and when he died it bothered me bc I didn’t understand why his wife would do this. Thanks for covering his life and career.
Lol same. I was 19 when he died.
Same!
Same!! 😂😂 I was 13
I was 5 years old when he passed as well! I knew his voice sounded familiar because I watched The Simpsons as a kid and watched the older episodes from the 90s. I was wondering why Lionel Hutz and Troy Mclure disappeared from The Simpsons after a while I thought he probably just left or got fired or whatever but sadly, I know the truth 💔
Same, I am 46. 😊
I feel like Phil Hartman was the first to show us that men can be abuse victims, too
I remember when this story broke on the news as a kid. Even as a child it hurt my heart so much when we lost him. I was 10, and had grown up watching him on snl and Simpsons
They talked about it on entertainment tonight every night for a while. So sad 😢
I knew I recognised his voice! From the Simpsons!!
I was around the same age as you when this happened. My favorite character of his was Troy McClure. His death never sat right with me. I still feel angry and sad whenever I hear or think about it. RIP Phil 😢
I was 12 and I remember seeing this and Chris Farley's passing. The fact he was murdered felt shocking and horrible
Kendall, thank you for being a light to so many who need it. Your level of respect and integrity for these victims is unmatched. We appreciate you and your impact! ❤️
Yes she is very considerate, compasionate, and respectful. God Bless!
I echo that. Well said.
@@MsAlonzo26 Thanks!!
Poor Phil Hartman. He and his children deserved better.
Fun fact, Phil Hartman was originally cast as Zapp Brannigan on Futurama but he died before production began so he was replaced by Billy West. Billy West based his performance on Phil. So even though it's Billy voicing Zapp, he sounds like Phil.
The character Philip j fry was named in his honor.🕊️
Thank you so much for covering this case, I feel like it’s not talked about enough! My mom was such a huge fan of his, she even has “the best of Phil Hartman on SNL” on dvd and I watched it all the time growing up. Thankfully, his work still lives on to this day, and he continues to make us laugh. May he rest in peace 🕊️🤍
Thank you for ALWAYS talking about addiction with respect. It’s one of the reasons (and there are many) that I respect you and love watching your content.
I hit 4 years , 3 months and 20 days clean TODAY!!!
This is a really sad case.
Keep up the amazing work, so proud of you, be proud of yourself as well!
Congratulations 🎊
Congrats on your success, rest in peace to all in the Hartman family.
That is a HUGE accomplishment. Congratulations!
He actually did make it to the big screen….Houseguest was a regular movie that was played in our home when we were kids. I think that added fuel to her jealousy. He was such a bright light. ❤
Thank you so much for covering Phil’s case. He was such a bright light. I was devastated when the news broke about Phil’s murder. He wasn’t just a loss to comedy but also the world.
His voice was a huge part of my childhood. My family are all massive The Simpsons fans. His voice acting as Troy Mcclure and Lionel Hutz etc is amazing. Rest in peace, Phil ❤
I had no idea he was dead let alone murdered. I just messaged the fam and we're all shocked! (we're big Simpson's fans too)😢
As someone who watched him at the end of his career, he was an immense loss to the comedic community. Every time I see or hear about him I get sad all over again thinking about all he had to give and what he could have done in his career. He’s still missed by so many ❤
As a note, I love reading all the comments about loving him so much. He truly was a legend and I don’t think he knew how loved he was.
I love how respectful you are of all parties as you tell the story. There is NEVER an excuse to take someone's life, but you give an understanding of what was really happening behind the scenes. No one is perfect, and I'm sure there were faults on his side as well as hers throughout the marriage, but if you're that unhappy with your spouse, leave them, never take such drastic steps as this. So heartbreaking that his children lost their father, and the comedy world lost a treasured star. I'm in the UK so we never grew up with SNL or NewsRadio (social media and the internet has given us SNL since but not when I was young). We did have the Simpsons though, and I can hear Troy McClure in these clips you've added... so without even knowing it, he's been in my life too. May he rest in peace. Those poor babies being in the house at the time, that's so heartbreaking. I hope they are doing ok now, to lose one parent is bad enough in such traumatic circumstances, but for it to be your mother who pulled the trigger, so hard to wrap your head around
This still breaks my heart. Everyone speaks so highly of him. I loved him on SNL and NewsRadio!
Hearing him talk about his daughter's birth is so beautiful and sweet!
I loved Phil Hartman I was devastated by his loss. His wife was evil for what she did
I grew up watching old skits of Phil with my parents. He's one of my favorite SNL cast members of all time. He and his skits are so formative to my sense of humor. This story hurts every time.
I remember when this unfolded on the news. Phill Hartman was the best at everything.
So tragic 😢
Same, and didn’t think I wanted to watch this, the reminders, bc 😢, but this was a really great tribute...! Very Well done!
Every Christmas my brother & I watch 'Jingle all the way', we love Phil!
He was a truly talented and lovely person, and it’s tragic what happened to him. May he rest in peace. Sending his children nothing but love and light
the way he spoke about his daughter being born was so heart warming 🥺such a tragedy.💔
I cried a bit when this happened. This guy was freaking hilarious and a huge part of my Saturday nights.
kendall, you’re so right about phil being great even in skits where he’s not the star. it’s beyond hilarious watching him try to keep it together during van down by the river. his story breaks my heart, he should’ve been able to have a much longer and happier career and a life with his children.
This case is so heartbreaking. His death was such a loss to comedy. Thank you for covering this one
Phil’s story is just so tragic. He was a comedic legend. Watching the clip of him talk about his daughter’s birth breaks my heart. I feel so terrible for his two kids.
My hero. He’ll never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Phil.
Edit: highly recommend NewsRadio!
My sister was a huge NewsRadio fan ❤❤
It's so good!
NewsRadio was top tier
I literally cried when this happened. My favorite person. His wife was nuts! It was horrible that day. Thanks for covering this. Goes to show my age.
I remember when this happened, my mon was so heart broken. It was tragic indeed, and while I know Brynn had a lot of issues, to take her husband’s life while their children were there is unforgivable.
She was very VERY insecure. Phil was friends with his ex which is how healthy secure adults communicate. Brynn went after her and threatened her. She feared her only chance at fame was being his wife. When she was called a " model" she knew she NEVER made a living at it. I modeled in a foreign country for a man who had boutiques. I AM NOT A MODEL. I can call myself a model to make me feel good but I'm not a model. The only reason he hired me was because the local women consider it beneath them and models are considered prostitutes among their peers. Heck I'm from California. We don't care about our reputations.
I was living in San Francisco in the same neighborhood as Robin Williams. NO ONE can say anything bad about him. I got to know more about his mental health struggles as I started getting treated for my own. I don’t know how he brought so much joy and laughter into the world while battling so much in his head. I was too young to have followed Phil’s career but I’m going to research it now. Thank you for bringing mental health and addiction into the light.
I honestly think the combo of bren drinking on top of her meds played some part of it. Plus the jealousy and resentment she had against him. I remember when this happened. The world was saddened. He was really lived by so many people especially old school snl lovers!! Bless his soul and bless his kids .
I am Mexican, so once removed from American culture, but I was around 12 years old when he suddenly disappeared from Newsradio. He was my favorite character. Also he had not one Simpsons character, but a whole host of them and one of the reasones I specifically looked for the Simpsons in English, he was amazing! He was the first "Star" I liked to be a victim of violence, he was such a loss and he's been so missed.
I'm only 16 but recognized Phil's smile immediately. I've lived with my great grandparents most of my life and we used to watch reruns of his shows all the time because my grandpa and grandma absolutely loved him. I never knew this is what happened to him. His life was so beautfiul and he seemed like such a genuine person.
Can I just say how so beyond impressed with your work ethic as a first time mama to your beautiful baby girl, I’ve been watching your content for over 5 years & you just keep getting better & better! You deserve all the beautiful blessings this world has to offer💕🫶🏽 love ya!
I'm so glad you are covering this. This is a truly sad story.
Addiction isn't the disease itself. It's what LEADS to mental illness. We are all addicted to something. Whether it be sugar, soda, chocolate, drugs, sex, running, video games and more. So don't say addiction is the disease. It's the chemicals in the drugs that lead to mental illness!
He was truly one of the best. He and Chris Farley will always have a big place in my heart as comedians who were taken too soon💖
to see you do a canadian case is so amazing to me ❤ usually i don’t see too many youtubers talking about true crime in canada. thank you for spreading this story ❤️🕊️🇨🇦
i love how respectful you are with discussing true crime and the victims- even the perpetrators/ murderers!! like with phil’s kids here, you simply touch on his daughter’s public social media and how his son “isn’t very public on social media and that’s prob on purpose” and leave it at that made me giggle. love you kendall!!
I will never forget when this happened. I was 25. So heartbreaking! I loved Phil Hartman! 😢
A sad story. I was a little confused 30:51. You said Brynn and her friend Ron went back to the house, and Ron called the police, but another friend had already called the police and police were already there by the time they pulled up.
I remember Phil Hartman dying. It was very sad and shocking. I remember him from SNL and news radio. He was one of my favorite characters. I never knew it was his wife that killed him.
Broke my heart when he was murdered. I grew up watching him on SNL and News Radio and of course listening to him on The Simpsons! Thank you for doing this episode.
Thank you for telling Phil's story - I'm constantly surprised that this isn't discussed more on other true crime channels and podcasts! I hope his children are thriving.
If you’re young and you haven’t heard of Phil Hartman, some of his famous sketches were the Anal Retentive Chef, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, and the singing sketch he did with Jan Hooks called “love is a dream” he did on SNL. On the Simpsons, he sold Springfield the monorail and Troy McClure among many others.
It was devastating lost. I hope his family gets peace, especially his children. May he rest in peace.
He was also in Jingle All The Way, Coneheads, and Small Soldiers.
Sending all my positive vibes and prayers to Phil’s children…thank you Phil for giving so much of you to make others happy! May you rest in peace!xo
I just watched this video. There is no excuse for what she did to Phil. No Phil wasn’t perfect but he was a victim of DV. He’ll always be remembered as the sweet guy and loving father he was 💗
His death was a hard one to accept. Truly heartbreaking. I was young when this happened, but old enough to remember how hard the entertainment industry took it. People all over were shocked and heartbroken.
my favorite film of all time is kiki’s delivery service, i had the english sub on vhs and grew up watching that, he did the voice of jiji. i remember seeing “in memory of phil hartman” and had no idea this is what had happened to him
This case breaks my heart, such a talented man who had SO much more to give to the world- that’s what gets me in any case actually, how much more these people have to offer the world and experience for themselves but their lives get snuffed out too soon and we all get robbed wonderful of people
It’s always so infuriating when (anyone), but especially somebody that makes such an impact on people around the world, to get taken away by someone so selfish & evil.
You’re amazing Kendall! Thank you for everything you do for these victims.
I remember Phil Hartman best for the voice roles he played in the Simpsons over the 8 seasons he appeared several episodes aired posthumously after his death in total he appeared in 54 episodes of the Simpsons
Him as Frankenstein’s Monster 😂🤣😂🤣😂 look it up, it’s too ridiculous… I’m middle aged, so I grew up watching him. He was HILARIOUS… I very very much remember unfrozen caveman lawyer 😂😂🤣
His bill clinton impression was hilarious 😂😂 a highlight of my childhood
Im a little confused...wasnt Ron with Brynn when she returned to the house after she shot Phil? 30:48 He saw Phil's body himself and called the cops. How was she able to kill herself if he was there? Why would he leave her alone WITH THE GUN?! Thats the only thing im getting stuck on in this case
The combination of cocaine along with the antidepressant was lethal. Because Phil checked out emotionally so she self-medicated
Yes. Jealousy and drugs. He loved her and treated her like a queen. She was controlling and smothering and she stole his life. He was a great comedian and was well loved. Rip Phil. ❤
I’m so thankful that you’re covering this case! I never would have imagined, but here I am, there you go outdoing yourself! You’re amazing! He would be so thankful for how kindly you show him to be.
I want to say thank you for covering this. I always want to mention something about Zoloft, the medication she was on. I feel it’s important to mention (I am in no way defending her actions I just thinks this provides additional context) that I myself was prescribed Zoloft for a time, and it did some pretty severe damage to my psyche my body my brain and my rational processing.
Zoloft can have very negative side effects if mixed with or interacting negatively with an underlying mental illness or personality disorder, or medication other drugs or medications.
I myself have BPD, and I know Zoloft can interact well, or do the extreme opposite especially when mixed with other drugs, turning the mindset into a very warped perception of reality. I see many indicators of BPD in her behaviour. It makes me wonder if there were negative interactions, mixed with a already skewed was of seeing things, likely perceived abandonments whether real or unreal, the already tense and constant fighting etc.
I think these are just insights that could provide insight as I heard Zoloft and it immediately brought me back to the way I thought and how warped my processing and impulse control was.
Yep & glad the person sued, took a stand.
I grew up with him on my TV. I remember when he died. First we got the shock of his death. Then we found out it was his wife. Wow. Amazing guy, we will miss you, original Zapp Brannigan.
I remember when this happened. One movie I remember him in is Sgt Bilko. It’s definitely sad for his kids and I understand why they want to keep a low profile.
Wow i didnt even realize he was killed. Im 40 and i definitely remember him. I was 15 so I was just young enough to not know what happened to him. He was absolutely hilarious. He was in the best years of SNL.
Thank u kendall for the acknowledgement of addiction as a disease from someone in recovery. WE THANK U FOR BEING AN ALLY TO US! ❤
I loved Phil and I still get sad about his passing. My mom had told me it was a heart attack. I only learned a few years ago that he was murdered. We share a birthday month/day. He was such a warm light during horrible times in our family. RIP I still get so upset. ;-;
So funny and absolutely beloved by everyone who knew him. My dad was a huge fan, so I remember when he passed because my dad was so upset, especially with how it happened.
I definitely think jealousy played a part in it. Phil was a great talent and sometimes, no matter how much you want something, you just can't have it. Brynn couldn't accept that she would never have the career she wanted and resented Phil for it. My heart breaks for the kids.
They've recently started showing reruns of News Radio again and I laugh just as hard as I did the first time I watched it.
I hate when Zoloft is blamed for things. Not dogging on you at all Kendall i love you and your content. I’ve been on Zoloft/Sertraline for around 7 years now and getting on the medication is the best thing I’ve even done.
Also I wanted to say I got a baby glimpse into the Hollywood life when going to school for special makeup effects and I knew that was not for me! I would love to start a true crime channel/podcast any advise for beginners.
Me too, I was miserable before I started taking it and I’ve been on it for 3 years now and I can’t imagine my life without it!
Addiction is real but that's bs that she left rehab after 2 days to be with her kids, she wanted her drugs and escape. Also being an addict doesn't turn you into a crazy killer. That's so messed up that she killed herself and didn't have to face the consequences.
I remember hearing the news that he was murdered. So sad. Especially for his children. I rewatch episodes of the Simpsons and it's so nice to hear his distinct voice. Hello, I'm Troy McClure! You may remember me from such films as.... ❤
There seems to be a lot of credence being given to a woman that shot her husband to death in his sleep. I question where this is when it’s an abusive husband that murders his wife. No matter what happened in their relationship, Phil is the victim here.
It’s sad to say but there are always a ton of excuses when women murder their male partners
I still can't believe she killed him.
Loved him in “Jingle all the way” he played the role so well 😂. May he continue to rest in peace
I grew up with Phil Hartman and was DEVASTATED when he died (also News Radio was an incredibly underrated show) Edit to add: I didn't LITERALLY grow up with him, I grew up watching his performances and loving his comedy
My mom grew up with him so I knew of him a little bit and one thing my mom liked and noticed is that in interviews he always seemed really considerate trying to make other people happy.
I remember when this happened. So tragic! And btw, you have a 61 year old fan here!
I was 14 when he was murdered..A lot of amazing people lost...Him, John Candy, John Ritter and Chris Farley, broke my heart. When a person has such a positive impact in your life, especially comedic ones, you needn't know them personally to feel like you've lost someone dear.
He sounds like a lovely man who learned that as a kid he wouldn't be safe to share emotions like many of his generation. He probably felt the safest in performing.
The bad thing about being performance-oriented and people-pleasing: you become stellar prey for narcissistic abusers because they don't care about healthy boundaries and get you hooked on an overload of love at the beginning that you so dearly needed as a kid. They really mess up your traumatized brain. 😢
Evil really so often comes as your dearest needs that "normal" people and life fail to provide for you. Phil really was a treasure and didn't deserve being treated and killed like this. 😢😢😢
I honestly didn’t know of Phil, but he seems like a wonderful man. Breaks my heart that jealousy overcame his wife to the point of murder.
hi Kendall! ❤️ thank you for sharing this case with us today!
It's crazy that he was born in Brantford. That's where I live now. So much amazing talent comes out of our little town. Including Wayne Gretzky. What a sad sad story. Rip Phil
I wasn't born when Phil Hartman was alive but I loved him in NewsRadio. I'm still so heartbroken from what happened to him.
;(❤ That clip of him gushing over his kids was too adorable.
I remember him on Saturday Night Live and how funny he was 😂 His death was so sad and too soon. RIP to a great 🙏 And thank you Kendall for reminding us 🥰
I’ve been putting off this one because we all loved Phil and his skits on snl. This is just freaking tragic 💔
I miss Phil. He was so funny. His mind is missed in comedy.
Can really hear 'hi I'm Troy McClure' when he's talking 😂
The Newsradio Season 5 premiere episode is one of the most emotional you'll ever see. This was the cast's first episode without Phil and the show was centered around the funeral and goodbye of his character. The entire cast is nearly overcome with emotion toward the end.
Fun fact: King of podcasts, Joe Rogan got his start playing the electrician on Newsradio and several of his podcasts have dealt with his remembrances of Phil, the show and his fellow castmembers.
