It was comedian versus comedian last week at an L.A. comedy club which saw a brutal fight between Jon Lovitz and Andy Dick. The fight took place at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, where the two were reportedly arguing about the murder of their Saturday Night Live colleague, Phil Hartman.
The club's owner, Jamie Masada, witnessed the fight and said: "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose."
Lovitz said, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is an [edited]."
Lovitz and Dick have been at eachothers throats since a Christmas party in 1997 held at Phil Hartman's house. Andy Dick was reportedly doing cocaine at the party when he gave some to Hartman's wife, Brynn, who had been sober for 10 years. Five months later, Hartman's wife flipped out, shot him, and then killed herself. Lovitz blames it all on Dick giving Brynn the cocaine, and once told Andy when filling in on Hartman's TV show Newsradio, "I wouldn't be here now if you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine."
The situation got worse last year when Lovitz claims a drunken Andy Dick walked up to his table at a Hollywood restaurant, snatching his guests drinks, and saying to Lovitz "I put the "Phil Hartman hex" on you - you're the next one to die." Clearly that didn't settle well with Lovitz who said "I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women."
Andy Dick got what had long been coming to him last Wednesday evening at the Laugh Factory, when Lovitz confronted him about the incident last year. All he wanted was an apology, but Dick reportedly denied knowing what he was talking about.
Dick reportedly then leaned in and told Lovitz, "You know why I said it? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman." Lovitz claims not to have said that, and said that Andy then asked him to be in his new movie.
That, apparently, is what set Jon Lovitz off, who then screamed "I don't want to be in your movie! I don't want to be in your life!", and then pushed him repeatedly into a rail.
Wow these guys are a barrel of laughs.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I saw a comedian talking about Dick a while back. She said Dick isn’t a pedophile, he isn’t strong enough to hold a child down.
Seems that a lot of comedians don’t care for Andy Dick.
Nearly everybody can’t stand him. Good for Lovitz sticking up for his friend Hartman’s memory.
Dying is easy.
Comedy is hard.
"Good for youuuuu, Jack!"
Sounds like Jon did the right thing.
The only thing I’ve ever liked Andy Dick in was when he played Matthew on News Radio.
Wonder how Joe Rogan feels about him.
RIP funnyman!
Andy is a dick.
Joe Rogan is a hero for exposing the plagiarism of creeps like “Mencia” and IIRC, Denis Leary.
Wow! I'd never heard that before.
Hartman was a huge talent and I was very saddened when he was murdered.
I love Jon Lovitz!
Sounds to me like Dick got what was coming to him.
I’ve enjoyed Andy Dick’s comedy performances, but I have heard from “insiders” that he’s a jerk in person and is notorious for showing up for work schized out on drugs.
Somebody just had to get this on their cell phone camera!
“The club’s owner, Jamie Masada, witnessed the fight and said: “Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose.”
Only because Andy Dick drives me nuts, thank you John! Of course Phil was funnier than either of you, but I think John is a big enough man to admit it.
That says it all!
