Jon Lovitz beats the shit out of Andy Dick at the Laugh Factory in L.A.

hmm

I really *don't * want to link to Dennis Miller's site, but he interviewed Lovitz right after this and got the full details.

Bottom line, go Lovitz!

"I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women."

What did Dick say to provoke this? Can't say I feel sorry for Andy Dick TBH.

It's in the article Trayce

we consume media too

Anyone think Andy will eventually kill himself?

I'm surprised he hasn't already.

That Dennis Miller interview is great.

All this just reminds me of that depressing last season of Newsradio where Lovitz replaced Hartman in the cast (especially depressing considering that earlier in the series, Lovitz had guested on the show as 2 completely different and much funnier characters).

"Lovitz was still stewing over what he perceived as a tasteless Dick joke, ..."

Does Eonline see what they did there?

Anyone think Andy will eventually kill himself?

WTF? No. Andy Dick may be a bona-fide, dyed-in-the-wool asshole, but he's not doing fucking Subway commercials. Or, you notice, talking to Dennis Douchenozzle Miller.

the two signs of suicide.

No, but Lovitz has one of the saddest comedy careers ever without actually going all Belushi on everyone.

When the two ran into each other at the Laugh Factory last Wednesday, "I wanted him to say he was sorry for the 'Phil Hartman hex,' " Lovitz told us. "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.

best part

if only we'd heard jared's cries for help

i disagree. there are many much sadder careers in comedy. much, much sadder.

i mean, we're talking about the world's sad sackest industry here. lovitz is on top compared to 95% of the people in that business.

ok, good point.

but man... those subway commercials.

Anyone think Andy will eventually kill himself?

I was thinking more along the lines of drinking/drugging himself to death.

That just makes me think of Swans songs for some reason.

yeah, dude's movie/sitcom cameos are usually mad weak but "The Critic" alone puts Lovitz in probably the 80th percentile for post-SNL careers.

Season 15: 1989-1990
Starring:
# Dana Carvey
# Nora Dunn
# Phil Hartman
# Jan Hooks
# Victoria Jackson
# Jon Lovitz
# Dennis Miller
# Mike Myers
# Kevin Nealon

also... not to sound too mercenary, but for a working actor to actually have a commercial campaign like that is a big deal.

Does Jon seem dissatisfied to you? I think it's funny that he puts no effort into those Subway commercials. He's doing the "actor" character voice with no rhyme reason to it. Maybe he's supposed to be the stoned cameo on Friends, I don't know. "Eat fresh!" Must've been an easy paycheck.

oh man... I miss "The Critic."

ok ok you guys are right. It just sounds to me like Lovitz trying to kick anyone's ass is an act of horrible frustration. And not even with the ass-kickee.

kenan you are the only person on the planet in the last five, maybe ten years who has expressed something approaching empathy for andy dick getting his ass kicked. bravo.

i think he was mad because a man who he suspected as being at least partly responsible for his best friend's murder was making jokes about it.

man, kevin nealon. what happened there?

OK now explain to me what the suspicion is of Dick having anything to do with Hartman's death, I must've missed that one. (xpost)

i saw an interview with lovitz once where he talked about hartman, who seemed to have been a big brother/mentor type to him. he was clearly devastated by his death.

Lovitz has one of the saddest comedy careers ever without actually going all Belushi on everyone.

How quickly we forget (understandably).

man, kevin nealon. what happened there?

alex - andy dick gave phil hartman's wife coke, even though she'd been sober for about ten years, a few months before she went nutzoid.

I mean ...

also trolls craigslist for sex! now THAT'S success!

Andy Dick gave Phil's wife cocaine after she had been sober for 10 years. This is unconfirmed. Also, this happened many months before she shot Phil? And Lovitz blames Andy Dick? That's a little assholey, too.

kenan is cap'n save-a-dick

never mind, someone said it twice already.

Kenan, just stop. Andy Dick is the king asshole and Lovitz just did here what many others have wanted to for a long time. That's why it's being shared. Don't be Captain Save-a-Dick.

DAMMIT STENCE!

Andy did cocaine, rumors went around, later touched a BIG nerve with Lovitz as some kind of ill-advised "revenge." Comedians in asshole shockah.

Trolling craigslist for sex = our goddamn God-given right!

PS - holy fuck kenan are you trying to be lex or Tuomas?

I wouldn't be saying any of this if Andy Dick wasn't funnier than Jon Lovitz.

Sorry, I'm in a boat rocking mood today, I guess.

ban kenan

i sincerely worry for you if you think that andy dick is funnier than anyone.

He's only funny b/c he's a walking train derailment and you know he's always moments away from getting his ass kicked.

Did his MTV show really mean SO much to you that substantiated reports of him making fun of a murder / suicide of someone's close friend makes you actually want to come to his defense?

xpost - I guess it did. :\

Nah he's always looked like a slightly nerdoid crazed git.

Jesus, that's grim...

"Something happened to me sexually when I was a child that tweaked my reality." - from an old Salon interview with him

I feel bad for the guy; you'd hope someone would help him. He has 3 kids for christ's sake.

I was once in a video store in L.A. when he came in with 2 of the hottest women I have ever seen in my life. They rented a documentary about Max Ernst. He chatted with the clerk for a while and seemed calm and nice.

nuthin was funnier than that vid of him gettin punked off stage by jimmy kimmel

i can't even imagine having this man as a father

The 'NewsRadio' actor with a reputation for crude public behavior is still scheduled to face a judge later this week on misdemeanor drug possession and battery charges. But he escaped felony charges after prosecutors reviewed video of the incident

"Dick won't face sex battery"

not surprised kenan is a dick fan.

I thought that link would be about Lovitz.

'Jon Lovitz Starts Uni CityWalk Comedy Club'

http://lessimpson.allmyblog.com/images/lessimpson/lessimpson_20070226_131107.jpg

400 seat comedy club? isn't that a little big? there is no need for that. this will close within one year.

why do you say that?

because it's never been a safer bet to say "this will close within one year" about almost anything?

Cobb's Comedy Club in SF is 400 seats/650 standing. Last time I was there, it was packed w/standing room only.

and probably has been for about 20-25 years or so

what ever happened to this?

Last time I was at CitiWalk, it was all tourists and underaged teenagers. Would they even go to a comedy club?

If they would willingly go to Citywalk, all bets are off.

We’re offering great comedy, great food and an atmosphere of a tropical beach resort. It’s so real, the club’s indoors and I still got a tan,' said Jon Lovitz."

he's still got it!

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Actor and comedian Andy Dick has been charged with two felony counts of sexual abuse in West Virginia.

Dick was arraigned this afternoon in Cabell County Magistrate Court. Court documents say Dick is accused of grabbing a bouncer's crotch earlier in the morning at the Rum Runners bar in Huntington. Magistrate Patty Verbage Spence set bail at $60,000.

Spence set a Feb. 2 preliminary hearing date for the 44-year-old Dick, who was in Huntington to perform at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. Funny Bone managing partner Tom Schaefer says Dick is "absolutely still on the schedule for today and Sunday" and says he planned to post Dick's bail.

A telephone message left at the office of Dick's manager, Michael Green, was not immediately returned Saturday.

Wow, Andy Dick can still get shows?

andy dick actually has a huge cult following in west virginia, it's weird

Andy Jerk, morelike.

I've been watching NewsRadio, and it's hard to forget that there was a time when he was funny and not a complete fucking mess. I'd just checked his Wikipedia page the other day which said he'd been sober for a year. Guessing that's over.

Side note: Two of the three blurbs on the back cover of Truth In Comedy, iO's improv manual which has apparently been reprinted for years without any modifications, are from Chris Farley and Andy Dick. Not exactly the best advertisement.

'easy to forget'

what's wrong with chris farley

he died, like a loser

if you had to kill one comedian...

Nothing wrong with Farley. It's just seems problematic that two of the three comedians (the third being Andy Richter) blurbing the book (and, by extension, the theaters) have extensive drug/alcohol problems.

jon stewart landed two solid zings on ol andy tonight

hahahaha!

nerve.com rated the snl cast before xmas and i don't think they gave lovitz enough respect. he is HILARIOUS.

wtf is with ppl dissing mystery men 4 years ago that movie is great

That Nerve list was utterly halfasses and seemed like it was organized almost at random by someone who based all of his opinions on what other people had written about the cast members elsewhere rather than, y'know, actually deigning to watch people's performances critically.

Totally halfasses.

nerve list was stupid and uninformed

so Andy Dick has a comedian son?

Andy Dick having a kid might be funnier than any jokes he's ever told

that movie is horrible -- one of the few movies that i've both paid to see and walked out on.

that movie was great!

it is a horrible Mystery Men movie

rematch?

http://www.dennismillerradio.com/ (from the second link itt) - funnier than anything here or discussed here.

Someone on /r/LosAngeles asked "Is Andy Dick's public behavior as bad as people say?" and within two days, the thread fills up to over 350 posts of drugs, sexual assault, and surreality - spawning another thread "Is Andy Dick the most 86'd person in Los Angeles?"

It’s pretty amazing that this thread is 17 years old and Dick is still alive
