You Might Remember Me
The Life and Times of Phil Hartman
Book - 2014 | First edition
Hartman is best known for his eight seasons on Saturday Night Live, where his versatility and comedic timing resulted in some of the most famous sketches in the television show's history. He also starred as pompous radio broadcaster Bill McNeal in the NBC sitcom NewsRadio and voiced numerous classic roles on The Simpsons. His seemingly charmed life was cut short when he was fatally shot by his troubled third wife, Brynn, who turned a gun on herself several hours later. Thomas provides a celebration of Hartman's career and a warts-and-all examination of his often intriguing and sometimes complicated life.

Add a CommentNews flash: Twenty-first century sensibilities do align with Victorian sensibilities! In one respect anyway: Lord Glyde's crime is still horrifying! Sadly, it seems to be more common, today.
The film, however, is rather ho-hum. Atmospheric, yes, but it kind of drags on.
I remember when I heard about the horrible circumstances of Phil Hartman's death and I thought I knew who he was but I had no idea that he was involved in so many different things. I really enjoyed the second half... it took me a little while to get into it but I'd recommend it to Hartman fans.
As a fan of Phil Hartman this book did not really give me any new insight into to his life. It is however a well crafted bio and sheds some light on his tragic death. His legacy is laughter.
