10 Years Ago Today

May 28th, 2008

On May 28, 1998 comedian Phil Hartman was shot in the face by his wife Brynn as he slept in their Encino, CA home. The world lost the “glue” of so many Saturday Night Live skits. He played SNL’s Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Bill Clinton, and Frankenstein’s Monster. He was NewsRadio’s Bill McNeal and a slew of Simpson’s characters most notably Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz.

This leaves me with only two conclusions. Either I should never get married or never marry a woman who might one day mix a Zoloft/Alcohol/Cocaine cocktail and keep a loaded revolver in the house.

RIP Phil. We still miss you.
