__________Speaking of Saturday Night Live_____________

On July 17, 2007 Jon Lovitz punched Andy Dick (both former cast members of SNL) at an L.A. Comedy Club. Apparently, Andy Dick teased Jon Lovitz about Phil Hartman’s death, telling him that he’d be the next to die. It is rumored that Andy Dick got Phil Hartman’s wife started on cocaine again after she had been clean for ten years. This happened at a party at Harman’s house just five months before she killed Phil and herself.  read more. . .
