Five years ago today (May 28) was the day that Phil Hartman's wife shot and killed him.

So looking back at his life:

What is your favorite Bill episode?

What are some other favorite shows or movies Phil Hartman did?

He is truly missed.

I have a few favorite Bill episodes

-Smoking (Bill quits smoking)
-Luncheon at the Waldorf (Bill gets kissed by Beth)
-The Secret of Management (Bill hires a butler)
-Security Door (Bill does a Blue Genie Commercial)

I liked Troy McClure of "The Simpsons."

Also, his role in "Jingle All the Way."

Definitely The Secret of Management. I also liked the way Bill stole EVERYTHING off Catherine's desk in Catherine Moves On, and his political songs in The Public Domain! LOL

There's so many great Bill moments that I can't possibly think of them all!!!

I miss Phil Hartman. I am young and right before his death i began to get into a lot of Phil Hartmans work like Jingle all the way, and Small Soldiers, his most current work before his death. Then I started watching a few episodes of NewsRadio and thought it was a real funny show. I remember just seeing it on the front page of my paper that Phil Hartman was dead and I was shocked. Even though I didn't know a lot about him at the time. Then I started seeing a lot of Phil's work in memorial specials on TV and stuff. I had no idea the huge impact he had on the entertainment world. All we can home for is that he didn't feel a thing. We Love you Phil.

Did any of you happen to watch the E! show "Infamous" this week? Episode 2 premiered on Sunday, and they've been repeating it throughout the week. The first half-hour was a recreation of the events of May 28, 1998. They had the actual 911 call and everything. I can't believe I actually watched it, because it just made me upset. And what's worse, I actually recorded it, too. It was actually pretty interesting, though. And in response to "Fan of Old Show"s comment, according to the show he "never knew what hit him."
