Hi, im Troy McClure
Hartman was an absolute genius. I think he could play off of anyone with his yes ands as well as perfectly embrace absurdity and build upon it even in the straight man role. Consummate comedian IMHO.
Even after all these years thinking about PH makes me sad as shit.
One of the worst losses in American history. I think he just might be the funniest person to have been on that show so far.
1:55
I had the same exact model!
I can not express just how comfortable it was to hold.
The back had a little “targeting” screen which light up as well.
I gotta say this era with Hartman, Carvy, Nealon, Lovitz, Miller, etc. rivals the mid 90’s era with Farley, imo. I don’t know which I prefer.
Loved his voice
God I miss him.
God I miss him. He was so good. I’ve recently started watching classic SNL starting with his season. Such nostalgia.
Kevin Nealon was underrated as well.
Makes you really want a nice bowl of Colon Blow
One of the best. The Swiss Army knife of SNL cast members. He could be the lead or just have one line a skit. He could do anything.
He was 38 in 1986
One of the best! I’ve been rewatching reruns of Newsradio on Amazon lately. His character is brilliant on that show. The whole show was great actually.
That man was a National treasure. Such a sad piece of our collective past.
Bill Hader talks about how absolutely *grueling* the audition for that show is. It’s just you standing in front of 10-15 of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry, auditioning for one of, if not the most sought after gig for a comic actor trying to breakthrough. And for the most part they intentionally don’t laugh.
It still makes me sad to think about him. World class talent and helped make prime Simpsons as incredible as it is.
Fuck you Andy Dick.
He had me at *I won’t take a lot of your time*.
Wow the German impressionist is some seriously layered comedy. Genius stuff.
It’s such a flex to do all your impressions in German hahaha
Lionel Hutz was his best character
He got laughs out of the SNL producers. That’s hard. You can tell he loosened up after that first laugh. He knew had them in his pocket.
While the end of his story is so tragic I was certainly glad to have had the rest of it. This man brought the most pure joyful laughter into my life and will always have my undying love and respect for it.
GOAT
“There’s alot of things were not going to tell Mrs. Clinton about.”
Troy McClure!
that german nicholson in chinatown is quite impressive
Those who watch to the end get a great cameo.
His Goofy Reagan for the cameras/Evil Genius Reagan behind closed doors is still one of my favorite SNL sketches of all time. His role as Bill McNeal is absolute perfection as well.
That actor/agent bit with Lovitz reminds me their scene in Three Amigos. I wonder if this inspired their casting in those roles.
My favorite SNL cast member hands down.
An all time classic.
