July 17, 2007 -- IT was fight night at an L.A. comedy club last week when Jon Lovitz roughed up Andy Dick over the murder of their "Saturday Night Live" colleague, Phil Hartman.
Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada,who witnessed the assault, said, "Jon picked Andy up by the head andsmashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouringout of his nose." Lovitz told Page Six, "All the comedians are glad Idid it because this guy is a [bleep]hole."
Lovitz and Dickhave been at loggerheads since a 1997 Christmas party at Hartman'shouse, five months before his troubled wife Brynn flipped out, fatallyshooting Hartman, then killing herself. "Andy was doing cocaine, and hegave Brynn some after she had been sober for 10 years. Phil was furiousabout it - and then five months later he's dead," said Lovitz, addingthat when he filled in on Hartman's "Newsradio" sitcom, "I told Andy,'I wouldn't be here now if you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine.'
