Editorial Review:
SNL: BEST OF PHIL HARTMAN (DVD MOVIE)
Description of Saturday Night Live - The Best of Phil Hartman:
Phil Hartman was one of the most versatile comedians of his time: whether he was playing the voice of Troy McClure on The Simpsons or portraying the pompous Bill McNeal on NewsRadio, his comedy was always fresh and outrageous. His breakthrough was as a cast member of the late-night program Saturday Night Live, where he satirized everything from politics (Bill Clinton, Admiral Stockdale--Ross Perot's misguided running mate--and Barbara Bush) to entertainment (Frank Sinatra and Phil Donahue), creating unforgettable characters along the way. This "best of" video captures his funniest SNL moments and includes the TV special Saturday Night Live Remembers Phil Hartman plus more. Among the highlights are the commercial Compulsion; Bill Clinton jogging to a fast-food joint (which, filmed long before the Lewinsky incident, seems surprisingly prescient as Clinton comments, "There's gonna be a whole bunch of things we don't tell Mrs. Clinton. Fast food is the least of our worries."); Discover the World of Science, where Hartman portrays an annoyingly daft TV host to Jon Lovitz's scientist; Barbara Bush hosting Nancy Reagan at tea in the White House; Cooking with the Anal Retentive Chef; and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. Brief snippets of Hartman in a variety of his roles show some classic moments without slowing down the pace of the collection. This video also features SNL cast members Dana Carvey, Jan Hook, Chris Rock, Chris Farley, Victoria Jackson, and more. Of all the Saturday Night Live retrospectives, this is one of the most consistently funny compilations and truly showcases the best of Phil Hartman. --Jenny Brown
Saturday Night Live - The Best of Phil Hartman Reviews:
Fair DVD 
2009-12-06 - Fair DVD by Phil Hartman. Phil hartman was often the straight guy on SNL and was pretty underrated. This collection of the "best" includes many funny skits, but not all of the best ones. It also seems that very little attention went into deciding which skit should follow other ones, etc.
disappointment
2009-11-26 - some of it is good. but they should have filled this up with about 3 hours of material. im very dissapointed in it
Great stuff! 
2009-09-09 - What a gifted comic this guy was. Most of these pieces are intelligent,surprising, and masterful. Phil Hartman was one of the few SNL people I call an artist without hesitation.
Yeeeessssssssssss!!!
2009-02-15 - Phil Hartman was one of the funniest people on SNL for years, especially during the "Sweet Spot" of the early 1990's when the show took off again. Today's SNL crew could really take a lesson from the Great One. ;-)
We'll all miss Phil's Ed McMahon and his Frozen Caveman Lawyer. Get the DVD; lot's of great moments from SNL past...
Saturday Night Live--The Best of Phil Hartman
2008-11-25 - The title of this movie says it all, The Best of Phil Hartman. He was a legendary performer who always kept us laughing! He is still missed by many.
