Comedian Jon Lovitz accumulated about a million awesome points last Wednesday (July 11) when he beat the crap out of the trainwreck that is Andy Dick, reports the New York Post's Page Six.
The scuffle, which occurred at Los Angeles comedy club the Laugh Factory, had allegedly been brewing for quite some time because Lovitz blames Dick for the murder of their former Newsradio co-star, Phil Hartman. The trouble began at a Christmas party at Hartman's house in 1997, five months before Brynn, Hartman's wife, shot him and then herself.
"Andy was doing cocaine, and he gave Brynn some after she had been sober for 10 years. Phil was furious about it -- and then five months later he's dead," the Saturday Night Live alum tells Page Six.
When Lovitz joined the Newsradio cast after Hartman's death, he didn't bother trying to play nice.
"I told Andy, 'I wouldn't be here now if you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine,'" Lovitz reveals.
Fast forward to last year, when the two ran into each other again at West Hollywood restaurant Ago. Dick reportedly approached Lovitz's table, obviously drunk, and said, "I put the 'Phil Hartman hex' on you -- you're the next one to die."
Lovitz was furious, but tried to forget about the incident – until he demanded an apology from Dick at the Laugh Factory last week.
"I wanted him to say he was sorry for the 'Phil Hartman hex,'" Lovitz tells Page Six. "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."
According to witnesses, Lovitz then grabbed Dick by the hair and smashed his head into the bar several times, yelling, "I don't want to be in your movie! I don't want to be in your life!"
"All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is an asshole," says Lovitz. "I'm not proud of it... but he's a disgusting human being."
Whoa. Jon Lovitz is hardcore.
