Wow. Thanks for this upload. Phil Hartman helped make my childhood a lot better and I was so sad to see him go so tragically. When he said "our kids play together" in the interview, my heart sank. To those of us who were lucky enough to be alive when you were, we will never forget you, Phil Hartman!

I'm 37, didn't laugh once back then, and still haven't laughed once at Hartman. Go ahead and flame me, but Hartman is exponentially better playing it straight than attempting comedy, and this excellent interview from Snyder is a perfect example.

Phil’s death was so tragic and affected me more than any other celebrity. He was just raw talent and in so many layers. I had wrecked my Ford Explorer that day and my insurance guy suggested a pub crawl. His image came on the tv in the bar at 5pm with his birth year hyphen to 1998. A sobering news report that I will never forget. So very sad.

Phil stated that he couldn't do but wished that "..he could that Swarmy thing he did in Ghostbusters and Groundhog day" even more wild when he actually acted with Bill Murray in Quick Change which also was his only directorial effort.

God, hearing his hilarious Sgt Bilko impression spurs me to remember an interview from a writer on the Simpsons who said that writing for Hartman was a pleasure because he could squeeze every drop of comedy from a line. I can see how given Hartman's ability to make lines, and he is remembering extemporaneously hilarious. What a fantastic talent and one of my top five inspirational comedians.

I was in my 20s in the 90s and remembered some of his great Clinton impressions but I sort of took him for granted back then. Looking back now he got off life's treadmill way too early and that's a tragedy. He seemed destined to even greater success than at that time. Godspeed, Phil👍

Who knows, maybe that interview is already up on KZfaq though.

Did my best to wear them out, even though the quality was literally a VHS camera recording of the show as it was playing on TV. Terrible, but I still watched the whole series dozens of times. When a legitimate full set came out on Amazon I was happy to get every episode on CD-ROM. Better quality. I guess you could say it is my favorite sitcom.
