S22E15: Phil Hartman, Part One
Comedy legend Phil Hartman spent many, many years establishing himself as a performer before he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live and became an icon. His talents weren’t just visible on stage; behind the scenes, he was known as a generous colleague who was as at home in a supporting role as he was starring in a sketch. But his home life was never sanguine. In this Part One episode, Alicia introduces the young Phil Hartman, his early career, and his first two marriages, both of which ended in divorce.
