Happy 69th birthday, Phil Hartman. We miss you.

Sept. 24 would have been Phil Hartman’s 69th birthday. The actor and comedian — beloved by fans of Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, NewsRadio and more — was killed on May 29, 1998 by his wife Brynn, who then took her own life.

Trying to choose Hartman’s best moments on screen would be a fool’s errand because the man was simply so good in everything he did. Hartman could squeeze a laugh out of even the weakest SNL sketches, which is why his nickname on set was the Glue. So rather than share an inevitably incomplete “best-of” list, today we look back on five SNL sketches that exemplify Hartman’s extraordinary talent.
