Summary

If the name Phil Hartman doesn’t already ring a bell for you, I have no doubt you'll be familiar with at least some of his work. He was a writer, actor, and comedian. Notably, in his career, he co-created Pee-wee Herman, and landed a spot on SNL where he thrived for 8 seasons, during which he became well-loved for his impersonation of Bill Clinton. Phil was a comedy genius who no doubt had years of making people laugh ahead of him. Unfortunately, the world lost one of it’s most talented entertainers, when he was murdered by the person to whom he promised “til death do us part.” This is his story.
