Phil Hartman was a legendary comedian who you might remember from such shows as Saturday Night Live and Newsradio, along with a couple of on-going roles in a little cartoon called The Simpsons, where he played low rate lawyer, Lionel Hutz, and B-Film actor, Troy McClure, among others. But Phil was so much more than just an actor. He was a graphic artist, a skilled impressionist, and an all around amazing friend, brother, and father. Tragically, Phil's life was cut short in May of 1998, when he was murdered by his wife Brynn, in a crime that shook Hollywood. Join me and Rachel was we take a ride through Phil's crazy life, from his roots in Brantford, Ontario, his rise to fame, and the legacies he left behind.
