More on Lovitz vs. Dick

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 19th, 2007

The NYPost story on the Lovitz/Dick feud has captured the fancy of the standup public. There seems to be precious little information out there other than that which was reported in the Post.

Comedian Suzy Soro has posted an item (entitled “The Dick and the Jon”) to her blog which makes the characters in the whole sorry mess seem a bit more human.

Phil tried to help me with my career more times than I can count. I knew so many standups who never lifted a finger to help me in L.A., outside of Larry David and Michael Patrick King, but Phil was constantly trying to hook me up. He once made Dennis Miller come to my gig at the L.A. Improv to see if I was right for his show. Dennis had a sick child at home outside of L.A. but made the trip anyway. He figured if Phil thought I was funny, it was worth his time. I got a second audition but Dennis’s show got cancelled. But I never forgot what Phil and Dennis did for me.
