Saturday Night Live comedians Andy Dick and Jon Lovitz had a fight in LA comedy club Laugh Factory. As soon as I read this, I just got the Bridget Jones’ Diary fight sequence in my head. Check it out here.

The reason for the comedy fight was that Andy allegedly gave Brynn Hartman cocaine at a 1997 Christmas party, after she had been clean and sober for 10 years. Five months later she killed her husband, Phil Hartman of TV series NewsRadio. She wasn’t on cocaine, but she was drunk and taking Zoloft. She killed herself at the same time.

So what does this have to do with Andy Dick and Jon Lovitz? Well, Lovitz replaced Hartman on NewsRadio, and when this happened he blamed Andy Dick for Phil Hartman’s death. (Take a deep breath and stay with me people, I know it’s confusing and strange) Last year Andy walked past Jon, drank his guests’ drink, and declared “I put the ‘Phil Hartman hex’ on you – you’re the next one to die.”

Then Jon decided to smash Andy’s face into a bar until his nose bled.

Lovitz was furious. “I wanted to punch his face in, but I don’t hit women,” he said.

Then when the two ran into each other last Wednesday at the Laugh Factory, tensions boiled over.

“I wanted him to say he was sorry for the ‘Phil Hartman hex’,” Lovitz said.

“First he says, ‘I don’t remember saying that.’ Then he leans in and says, ‘You know why I said it? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman.’ Which I never said. Then he asked me to be in his new movie.

“I grabbed him by the shirt and leaned him over and said, ‘I don’t want to be in your movie! I don’t want to be in your life!’

“I pushed him against the rail. Then I pushed him again really hard. A security guard broke it up. I’m not proud of it … but he’s a disgusting human being.”

Two middle aged men fighting in a comedy club, over an incident that happened years ago. That is champagne comedy. I’m sure Jon Lovitz isn’t the first person who has wanted to punch Andy Dick in the face. How did Carrie Fisher feel after he licked her face?
