Excellent tribute

The Best of Phil Hartman is a great tribute to one of SNL's best alumni. His greatest stuff from his years on the show is here, including but not limited to Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Bill Clinton and Frank Sinatra. Phil Hartman was without a doubt one of the most talented and funny of the SNL cast. This is an excellent tribute to him.
