In lighter news, Jon Lovitz beat up Andy Dick at the Laugh Factory last week. The back story is Jon blames Andy for the death of fellow NewsRadio friend Phil Hartman because Andy gave Phil’s wife cocaine after 10 months of sobriety. 5 months later, Phil’s wife killed him and herself.

Last year, Andy Dick, high and drunk as usual, made a scene at Jon’s table when he put the “Phil Hartman hex” on Jon and told him he was the next to die. Jon had had enough last Wednesday when he demanded Andy apologize for the hex. Obviously, he didn’t and said something stupid instead.

When the two ran into each other at the Laugh Factory last Wednesday, “I wanted him to say he was sorry for the ‘Phil Hartman hex,’ ” Lovitz told us. “First he says, ‘I don’t remember saying that.’ Then he leans in and says, ‘You know why I said it? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman.’ Which I never said. Then he asked me to be in his new movie.

“Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose.” Lovitz told Page Six, “All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is a [bleep]hole.”

I wish this could happen to Andy Dick on a daily basis. But instead of just bashing his head on a bar, it can be bashed elsewhere. You could make a half hour show out of it where people just bash Andy’s head on various surfaces. All of which need to meet the requirements of being jaggedy and hard and full of bacteria. Oddly enough, Andy Dick would probably agree to this because he’s such an attention whore.
