Loving how self-aware Rob Lowe is about his celebrity detachment from society.

News Radio is still one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, and Phil Hartman is a huge reason why. R.I.P. Phil, you were a comic genius!

RIP Phil Hartman comedy absolute legend a voice like no other

What I learned from this podcast...Rob Lowe is one of the chillest dudes ever.

Rob Lowe is a really likable guy. So self aware.

Hands down, Phil Hartman, SNL LEGEND. Amazingly talented comedian.

Rob Lowe is the man. He’s also been sober since he was 26 years old. For 60 years old he looks incredible

When Phil died i felt really sad about that because I was a fan of his. He was so funny. RIP sir! Thanks for all your work.

Phil Hartman and the tragedy of his death is so undermentioned. I mean compared to like Chris Farley. I felt way more sad about Phil.

Phil Hartman was one of the best SNL was even a greatest show at all the charisma and don't forget the very comical explosive chemistry

Phil was so essential to SNL. I was surprised when he left for a supporting role in a sitcom that not many people were watching. Seemed like a bigger star, but what Joe said makes perfect sense.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman...Your world frightens and confuses me."

Phil Hartman==comedic genius. I believe that there is/was toxic work environment, but I loved his skits with Jan Hooks. I can't believe that they were toxic to each other, the results were so funny.

So a Lorne Michaels impression is basically the Dr. Evil voice, got it 🤣👍

Quitting alcohol was the best thing Lowe did. He is so self aware.

As one of the biggest NewsRadio fans alive, I will never pass up a chance to hear Joe talk about Phil Hartman.

Rob is such an underrated impressionist

rob lowe could have easily been an snl cast member. His comedic skills in waynes world and austin powers proved it

RIP Phil Hartman. You were the best.

Damn I wish rob was a regular on this podcast. He’s a natural!!

*"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You might remember me from..."*

Lionel Hutz will go down in history as one of the greatest cartoon characters of all-time. Thanks, Phil.

Rob is still killin it.

Joe: you love Phil Hartman too? Rob Lowe: YUP Joe: did we just become best friends? Rob Lowe: YUPP!

Jeff Goldblum: The offers are rolling in, Paramount wants you for a buddy comedy with Rob Lowe and Hugh Grant Troy McClure: THOSE SICK FREAKS?!? That’s one of my favorite Simpson episodes lol RIP Phil Hartman

Phil Hartman was a comedy genius. What a terrible loss.

Didn't know Rob Lowe was this entertaining, great interview.

My favorite Phil Hartman on News Radio was when they got the Radio Ratings report and they said Bill McNeils reporting was "adequate". And he walked around acting like it was a glowing rating. I used to quote that line all the time where he walks into the bathroom and Dave says to him something like, feeling adequate Bill, and Bill says "I'm practically bursting with atequatulence". And Dave is like, "that's not a word Bill" and Bill says, "don't care my friend".

watching lowe just reminds me of the 80s , loved the 80s

Futurama would have been SO much better had Phil Hartman voiced the Captain like he was about to. That goddamn wife of his.

"Theres nothing quite like a Man of the People, Joe Rogan and Rob Lowe podcast. " HAHAHAHA lmao 😂🤣😂🤣

I remember suddenly wondering why Phil was gone in the 5th season of News Radio. I was in love with that sitcom. The first episode of the fifth was the one I downloaded last. I finally saw it, and since the show could be very dark and mean, it took a while to realize it was an unusual way of writing someone out of the series, even for this show, especially since I deem it the best ensemble cast I've ever seen. Was Phil not only leaving but so unhappy even he didn't even want to stay for a farewell episode? An eery grimmess took hold of me, did he die in the series because he died? He didn't play a warm guy in the series so why writing such a sad, touching and heartfelt episode? Finding out what happened shocked me. No sadness, just pure shock. I used to bingewatch the show almost daily in a loop for a long, long time, so it fucked up my whole routine, staring at my monitor, my cursor hovering over the file. Could I ever enjoy the series again? A couple of weeks passed like that before I did what had to be done, watch the 1st of the 5th again. To this day, when I have the heart to see it, I cry several times, especially when Bill's card reads to Matthew "I am really dead". Acting can be difficult, but what that cast did in the entire 5th is nothing short of other worldly. Apart from Jon Lovitz, who really didn't fit in to put it nicely, they did an amazing job. Especially Andy Dick, because Phil was like a father to him. I'd insert a joke here but I can't. It is what it is. RIP Phil, bless his children, their caretakers being Phil's wife's sister and her husband (I can't imagine how they must have felt), bless the cast and crew who gave him his excellent last years in comedy and I hope someday I can forgive his wife.

Phil is a legend. This was a solid podcast.

Rob is a pretty fun listen

Great to hear Rob Lowe. Such a well spoken and humble-sounding guy.

Anyone who hasn't seen the movie Greedy: one of the funniest performances from Phil Hartman

I remember driving to work at 7:30 in morning and hearing Phil got killed. God that dude was funny

Member when SNL wasn't just political propaganda? I member

hard to believe Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Jan Hooks are gone, they were the best

Rob's sarcasm about being every day guys is more honest to us then Joe has been to himself for a long time.

Okay wasn't prepared for RL to be funny and cool. Good break.

I love the end of this where Rob tells Joe "you've just done the most unrelatable podcast ever." Lol

I still hold a grudge against his widow

I think most of us want to be famous in life, so this is great to listen to! I love hearing the stories!!

I just imagine his saying Joe Rogan’s name like he used to say “Anne Perkins” in parks in rec

I have always loved Rob Lowe. Teenage crush ❤️

Growing up I always wondered why his characters disappeared from The Simpsons, it wasn’t until like a decade later I found out why. He was hilarious. RIP Phil.

Rob Lowe was in The Stand. Nuff said.

God I miss Phil Hartman From News Radio: Jimmy James: Hold it, Bill. I've heard Penthouse letters that were more plausible than this. Bill: So have I. But the fact is the woman wanted me, and the fact that she couldn't have me made her insane with what the great poets have called "manimal lust."

Rob Lowe has looked the same for 20 years

Rob Lowe is awesome and looks unbelievably good and not all that different than he did almost 40 yrs ago. That dude was the biggest koochie magnet in Hollywood in the 80s and totally got framed for those two girls in 1988 at the Dukakis Democratic convention, and NO ONE in Hollywood stood up for him. Sleeping with 2 17 yr old girls that said they were older when he was all of 23/24 himself. Total BS they made into a huge thing and temporally shut his career down. Watch Bad Influence with Rob and James Spader, 1990/91. Great movie nobody ever talks about. Rob's a good dude and was The Dude!

I miss Phil Hartman he was so talented, rip.

1:37 What great Lorne impression!

I saw an interview where Rob was getting trolled by teenage his son the entire time. His son was hilarious.

Rob Lowe comes across really well in these from today

Lorne Michaels IS Dr Evil

hartman and farley. the most funniest and talented actors in SNL history

SNL is The Dream and nobody was better than Phil Hartman. What a tragedy.

The Arseno Hall SNL Sketch with Rob Lowe is the most funniest Sketch in the history of SNL!!!

I believe The Phil Hartman years of the Simpsons. Where their "Classic Years" ☺️

I’m old enough I clearly remember when Belushi died. I was sad, but not horribly surprised. When Chris Farley died, I was sad, but not horribly surprised. But Phil Hartman...jeezuz! Who saw that coming? Far more tragic than the passing of someone who is the author of their own demise, IMHO.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, my ATF SNL skit.

Rob Lowe is a legitimate ICON

All time best bit: Rob Lowe as Arsenio Beckman

Always thought of Rob L as a brainless pretty boy but man was I wrong. This guy is so worthwhile listening to

Dude, that's a perfect Phil Hartman impression....

Love the Houston Asterisk cap

This was actually a really cool show.

Good to see that Rob Pelinka finally made it onto the JRE.

Great cast!! Rob Lowe!! Funny self aware and humble. Seems like a great guy

Love the Houston "Asterisks" hat...hahahahaha

His name was Key Rock and he was thawed out by our scientists. Somehow miraculously he became... Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. One of the greatest SNL sketches ever. So f-ing hilarious.

Phil Hartman was and is great

This segment was not weird for ME when Joe & Rob were talkin' about what goes on behind the scenes at SNL because I recently read "Wired," the 1984 biography of John Belushi written by Bob Woodward, which explains a lot about the writin' & rehearsal processes durin' the week as well as all the backstabin' & the sexual relationships between cast members & all the drugs & booze that was allowed on the scene in the early days. That book was a very in-depth read into the life & workin' conditions of John.

that was a pretty good Hartman impression. can't find that sketch anywhere.

I never watched SNL until after I was married because I was never home at 11:30 on a saturday night, so I totally missed the first 3 or 4 seasons - I knew who they were from reading about them

Their experiences may be rare, but I think it's their attitudes that make it all relatable nonetheless

Joe needs to have Rob on more often

Miss Phil Hartman 😢

I worked on News Radio in post production. I got to see every frame of film from four cameras for at least three seasons. They shot triple the film that they needed because they wouldn’t stop camera. They’d yell, “back to one!” and did a take over and over. The days I worked on that show were the absolute best.

Best guest ever. Enjoyed these podcasts.

Rob Lowe needs to do more Joe Rogan podcasts...

I appreciate the honesty.

Rob was a surprisingly good guest!

This is how I found JRE to be honest. I loved Phil Hartman and Newsradio. I also love Dave Foley. So seeing videos on my feed about Phil Hartman made me watch it. Shortly after I saw JRE clips about Patrice O'neal. I was I like "oh shit I forgot about his comedian. Joe Rogan you crazy"

I enjoy the way rob speaks of things, he is very aware of self and others and others to self. this is a proper self reflection with intent of doing better \m/ hats off good lessons to share

All jokes aside.. rob lowe is officially a hero. Solid

Met one of the head writers for the Simpsons once, and he said Phil Hartman delivered his favorite joke of the series. "Hi, I'm Troy Mcure, and you may remember me from such educational programs as "P" is for psycho."

I loved Rob Lowe since Class and The Outsiders plus being sober in Hollywood ALL the yrs later

Phil Hartman was the best

I like when celebrities thoroughly enjoyed their youth and still enjoy their life at every stage. It's kind of a downer when celebs take themselves too seriously, because if they can't enjoy themselves then who can?

Rob needs his own podcast.

One of the best guests Joe has ever had...

News radio was gold.

Rob's spoofing of Arsenio Hall is in my top 5 of favorite SNL skits.

Joe and Rob could be brothers in real life

Great dynamic between those two

I miss you, Phil

Hartman was without a doubt the best SNL cast member.

Rob Lowe doing Lorne Michaels...funny stuff....
