I want you to leave my episodes not only knowing that the people who I talk about are real.. what happened to them is real but also acknowledging that they are much more than just their deaths. Each audio file from this podcast is taken from my videos on YouTube.

On May 28, 1998, comedian and actor Phil Hartman was shot to death in his sleep by his wife, Brynn, in the bedroom of their home in Encino, California. After an argument late that night, Phil went to bed; sometime before 3 a.m., Brynn entered the room and fired three shots at close range with a .38‑caliber handgun, hitting him in the head, throat, and chest and killing him instantly. Brynn, who had alcohol, cocaine, and an antidepressant in her system, then drove to a friend’s house and confessed, returned with him to the home, and locked herself in the bedroom as police were called. A few hours after killing Phil, she died by suicide with a second handgun while officers were on the scene, leaving their two young children without parents and Hollywood stunned by the murder‑suicide.","meta_description":"As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Phil Hartman with me today.
