Description
Nick looks back once again at the work of the best cast member in the history of "Saturday Night Live," Phil Hartman. While Hartman's best-known work—like his great impressions of Bill Clinton and Frank Sinatra, and unforgettable characters like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer and The Anal-Retentive Chef—is always talked about and shared, this time Nick showcases four of his more obscure sketches.
"Robot Repair" features Hartman as a robot obsessed with syntax. "Only in New York" stars Hartman and Nora Dunn as a married pair of gossip reporters. In the hysterical (and controversial) "Don't Pray So Much," Hartman plays Jesus. The episode closes with a riotous musical salute to a fictional Broadway musical composer named "Hal Jarome."
You'll hear these sketches, learn about who wrote them, and discover the fascinating backstories behind each one. It's time to enjoy some of Phil Hartman's best but least well-known work. [Ep84]
