From the NewsRadio episode "The Real Deal" (Season 3, Episode 22) Bill and Lisa, badly in need of a interviewee, finds Jerry Seinfeld at a restaurant. Original Air Date: 7 May 1997
I went to a taping of News Radio and it was amazing. Phil Hartman came out did some schtick for the audience. He was so gracious. David Foley came and interacted with us. The cast was all top-notch. It was absolutely memorable.
AL13NM : Phil Hartman worked as a graphic designer before becoming a successful comedian. He designed over 40 record covers for bands such as America, Poco, Steely Dan and Crosby,Stills and Nash. The POCO "Legend" album cover is one of my favorites.
It's crazy to me to see you say that, because the first time I ever caught News Radio on TV, I immediately recognized Phil Hartman's voice but couldn't quite place where I knew it from. I was still a teenager, back then, and I didn't pay too much attention to actors' distinctive voices or styles, so my initial ah-ha moment was a mistake. I was like, "I think that's Zapp Brannigan!" instead of "That's Troy McLure!"
I know the story of how he died; I just didn't know that he had that connection to Futurama. And it's extra crazy to me because I initially mistook him for being Zapp, so I guess kudos to Billy West for doing a good job with that impression.
*"Nobody cares what a comedian thinks about issues. I don't even care what I think about serious issues."* Exactly. Thank you Mr. Seinfeld. If only other celebrities understood that today.
is Jerry playing himself (as a comedian with a TV show based in New York) or himself ON THE SHOW (that is to say a reasonably successful comedian but not on NBC)
@@whitleypedia Holy shit I never even thought of that! I assume it’s THE Jerry Seinfeld based on how excited Lisa is, but you never know. Honestly would be really funny if it was a subtle crossover.
I remember watching this episode in Australia. I went to bed thinking what a funny guy Phil Hartman was. When I turned on the tv the next morning, the news was on about how he’d been murdered. I was shocked. He was the last and first thing I saw on that date
I have always loved this show and believe that it would have been a major hit a la "Seinfeld" or "Frasier" if not for the tragic ending of Phil Hartman.
Jimmy James is one of the best characters I’ve ever seen! Only had 20 seconds in this clip and killed it. Surprised I hadn’t seen him in any other leading comedic roles. Until Dodgeball. Dudes the best.
He’s been in a lot of stuff…usually as a character actor/background actor. NewsRadio was his longest-lasting gig, but he has steady work…as a comedian and serious actor (he was Chris Kraft in From the Earth to the Moon…he played one of Arnold Vinick’s (Alan Alda) campaign strategists in the last season of The West Wing…plus a bunch of voiceover work as well. And of course, as someone else mentioned, he was Milton Waddams in Office Space. Chances are you’ve seen/heard him in a lot of stuff and just didn’t know it.
My recollection is that here in Australia this was the episode that aired the night before Phil Hartman died. I turned on the news the next morning and they said he was dead.
In my twenties I would pause these videos with her on screen just to see her beautiful lips in various positions. She makes a creep out of me but c'mon she's freakin erotic
You've heard of a "bands band' kind of music band, this was a sitcom shows show. Honestly it was too good for it's time, I didn't even get to it until syndication years later.
This scene would've been 10x more funnier if Jason Alexander walked in as George at the end of the episode and started fighting with Phil over trivial matters and shouting "George is getting upset!"
There are four Jerry Seinfelds. Jerry on Seinfeld, Jerry as a comedian, Jerry as a celebrity, and Jerry on this show. I like this one the best. It's the same Jerry we saw on 30 Rock. He's somehow a better actor when he's playing himself as opposed to "playing himself."
@@ludmillagutomo Just watch the entirety of Newsradio season 4. He had fully matured as a comedic actor and could totally carry a show at that point. He would've had a brilliant career in the years to come.
Seeing this now is a trip, I am a _News Radio_ fan from the beginning, March 1995, but I did not watch nor know _Seinfeld_ until the final season of _Seinfeld,_ September 1997, since then I am a HUGE _Seinfeld_ fan, RIP Phil Hartman, missed.
"Did Edward R. Murrow go through an agent when he interview..." My mind immediately said "Liberace" because for some reason, I recall seeing Murrow interview Liberace when I was a kid.
She had cancer treatments to remove a tumor a few years back--right around the time that Parenthood was going to go on the air, as Lauren Graham eventually had to step in for her.
Folks who said Jerry was a bad actor on Seinfeld, which I kinda agree with but it made him more endearing, should look here. Jerry's doing a very different performance.
@@Hootkins. - Underrated in terms of not being relevant today. Despite both shows being popular when they aired, no one talks about them now. To me that means they're both underrated. 💯
Part of the fun of this show was the interactions the characters had. While Lisa and Bill always seemed to be at odds it was funny to see them go for interviews together.
@badi03 Good question! Jerry makes a weird smile right after the name slip, I wonder if he smiled because he just called Phil by his real name or if it actually was a real slip
@@clue104 On this take it's clear Jerry was waiting for Hartman to make the correction. Maybe the first take was by accident but on this one they knew what they were doing.
This was fantastic. Sitcom gold. I love Seinfeld, but come on there was never anything on Seinfeld that was as funny as this scene. News Radio was such an underrated show.
@@keithbannister9271 News Radio was funnier, same with 30 Rock, The Office Cheers, and Park and Rec. Seinfeld had its moments but was way overrated IMO.

Maura??.
@@charlieconway6536 She was there.
Mean't to say this on the 6. She do anything??. My apologies.
Wished I could of have been there
@@charlieconway6536 She was there. It was the episode about the bearclaw pastry.
1:12 "Listen Phil." "Bill"
-The real Jerry Seinfeld to the real Phil Hartman
good catch! I never noticed that.
Never thought I would see a comedic scene between Phil Hartman and Jerry Seinfeld. Now I'm glad I had.
+suncore598 seinfeld hosted snl in 1992 when phil was still in the cast.
suncore598 two greats
Glad you had...what?
@@mwilliamshs Seen a funny scene between the two actors.
@@suncore598 so what you meant to say was "Glad I had seen a funny scene between the two actors"?
It's insane how funny and talented Phil Hartman truly was! R.I.P.
AL13NM :
Phil Hartman worked as a graphic designer before becoming a successful comedian. He designed over 40 record covers for bands such as America, Poco, Steely Dan and Crosby,Stills and Nash.
The POCO "Legend" album cover is one of my favorites.
I love Hartman's delivery. Great role.
Phil Hartman and jerry Seinfeld in the same scene. Gold jerry gold.
This is the meal! So eat up buddy boy!
Huh?
is this "Kenny Banyon"??!! 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seinfeld is so unfunny it hurts.
Knowing that he was intended to be Zapp Brannigan on Futurama makes so much sense watching this.
It's crazy to me to see you say that, because the first time I ever caught News Radio on TV, I immediately recognized Phil Hartman's voice but couldn't quite place where I knew it from. I was still a teenager, back then, and I didn't pay too much attention to actors' distinctive voices or styles, so my initial ah-ha moment was a mistake. I was like, "I think that's Zapp Brannigan!" instead of "That's Troy McLure!"
@@Mitsuraga Yeah, he died shortly before the show started, really awful story. Billy West is basically doing a Phil Hartman impression as Zapp.
I know the story of how he died; I just didn't know that he had that connection to Futurama. And it's extra crazy to me because I initially mistook him for being Zapp, so I guess kudos to Billy West for doing a good job with that impression.
*"Nobody cares what a comedian thinks about issues. I don't even care what I think about serious issues."*
Exactly. Thank you Mr. Seinfeld. If only other celebrities understood that today.
One of my favorite scenes in all of TV show history. The way him and Bill go back and forth is about as good as it gets.
"Who should I make this out to, Lisa"? LOL
This episode is literal sitcom perfection. I could watch it every day and never get sick of it.
Not even funny adjacent.
is Jerry playing himself (as a comedian with a TV show based in New York) or himself ON THE SHOW (that is to say a reasonably successful comedian but not on NBC)
@@whitleypedia Holy shit I never even thought of that! I assume it’s THE Jerry Seinfeld based on how excited Lisa is, but you never know. Honestly would be really funny if it was a subtle crossover.
@Sherman Daniel Jerry in our world would have been a much bigger deal than Jerry from his show. We need to know!

I liked this story
@@mineduck3050 Well, it makes an impression for sure. Must have been a shock.
I've often wondered why Maura Tierney was never one of Jerry's girlfriends on Seinfeld. She'd have been excellent.
She was great as James Spader’s wife on The Office.
This is the greatest crossover ever made.
Hi! I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from other restaurant scenes such as "Hey! That's my coffee." And "I had the cappuccino."
Marlon Kilcullen I’m also Troy Mclure. You might remember me from this comment.
“Let’s get smart, stupid”
@Marlon Kilcullen • It's too funny ! Hi , I'm Troy McClure , you might remember me from seriously offending Jerry Seinfeld in the restaurant !
Yes he was a klassic on Simpsons too!
So hilarious, but I get sad everytime I see Phil Hartman's face or hear is voice. He was a genius! RIP!
Jerry Seinfeld and Phil Hartman in a scene is just amazing!
Sounds like Hoffman from the Simpsons
I have always loved this show and believe that it would have been a major hit a la "Seinfeld" or "Frasier" if not for the tragic ending of Phil Hartman.
Fred Flinstone Hartman tried to convince NBC to let NewsRadio have a Thursday slot.
Ditto! :)
it was my favorite
clue104 the ratings would have been great if it had been on Thursday nights. The 830 slot would have been perfect.
Unfortunately, the show was always on the brink of cancellation with every season.
freakin hilarious. phil hartman and seinfeld together are an amazing combo
Phil Hartman was awesome.

Stephen Root, highly underrated
He’s Milton in Office Space.

Agreed. I've always liked Jimmy James as a character. Comes off a dumb but is much more intelligent than he lets on.
My recollection is that here in Australia this was the episode that aired the night before Phil Hartman died. I turned on the news the next morning and they said he was dead.
"I dont-I have no-I just met him yesterday"😂😂😂 Maura is so damn funny and cute
"So the GREAT actor is suddenly a GREAT economist!"
Maura Tierney is such a beauty.
oh my indeed
In my twenties I would pause these videos with her on screen just to see her beautiful lips in various positions. She makes a creep out of me but c'mon she's freakin erotic
@@mineduck3050 She reminds me of Dick Van Dyke era Mary Tyler Moore, and MTM was a stone fox in that show!
Seinfeld knew he was a legend. Honestly, you never see Jerry hanging out in other shows. RIP.. Phil. You were great. Xx
You weren't there during NBC's comedy nights on Thursdays, then.
I meant sitcoms, people not stand up shows
@@ShindlersFiist Give it up. You didn't watch NBC sitcoms on Thursday nights.
You've heard of a "bands band' kind of music band, this was a sitcom shows show. Honestly it was too good for it's time, I didn't even get to it until syndication years later.
He made a guest appearance on 30 Rock.
News Radio & Phil Hartman. I miss them both.
Along with Seinfeld...😢
"Good Morning, Bumwad County!" with Cindi Lee and Melvin. 😄 I love that show!
This scene would've been 10x more funnier if Jason Alexander walked in as George at the end of the episode and started fighting with Phil over trivial matters and shouting "George is getting upset!"
"Nobody cares what a comedian thinks about serious issues...."
Damn those were good times.....

Sorry, five. There's also Bee Movie Jerry.
This was great cause it was his character from seinfeld, when it was at its climax
Impressed by Jerry's acting in this.
"Shhhhhh. Admit nothing..!"
There are so many great lines in this episode segment. "You heard the man! BEAT IT!"
My favorite line/delivery!
I miss Phil. He was so funny.
I always thought Phil Hartman was one of the funniest guys around. And I was right.
Phil Hartman was a comedic genius.
I felt like I was watching an episode of Seinfeld
I know right...🤔
A few episodes!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man this show is dope! Can't believe I'm just finding out about it now!
RIP Phil Hartman.
Man i miss Phil Hartman
What happened ?
caremell About 19 years ago, there was a marriage dispute and it ended tragically.
his wife got high and murdered him
Me too.
Jon Lovitz blames Andy Dick for reintroducing Mrs. Hartman to cocaine.
Hahaha, this show was hilarious. Phil Hartman was awesome
Love this so much. His finger in the water is one of my favorite things ever.
lol if anyone approched Jerry like this in real life he would be like " no thank you"
Shyamsundar Rajan yep, and wouldn't shake anybody's hand either (unless he already knew them)
Or give a high five.
Did you guys see when he completely dissed Kesha at some award ceremony?Its somewhere on TH-cam. ..Hilarious
Except ke$ha
@@sakabula1285 haha yeah she actually went crying
"Shh, admit nothing." It sounds like a total Dwight Schrute line
I was thinking hey this guy's funny, how come we haven't seen more of him.
Then I read the comments. Sad.
you should see him on SNL
@@ludmillagutomo Just watch the entirety of Newsradio season 4. He had fully matured as a comedic actor and could totally carry a show at that point. He would've had a brilliant career in the years to come.
Just loved this show! Great cast!
Favorite show ever, and this is one of the funniest scenes
Bill McNeal: come on Jerry don't be modest
omg - I was wondering why Phil Hartman's voice was so recognisable.... and then I remembered LIONEL HUTZ!!!!
Seeing this now is a trip, I am a _News Radio_ fan from the beginning, March 1995, but I did not watch nor know _Seinfeld_ until the final season of _Seinfeld,_ September 1997, since then I am a HUGE _Seinfeld_ fan, RIP Phil Hartman, missed.
And a big hand for Patrick Bateman as the waiter.
Jerry Seinfeld meets Bill McNeal....clash of the titans
I got Hartman's ashes dumped on me from a helicopter while I swam
I love Seinfeld.
Great scene. Phil is awesome
"Did Edward R. Murrow go through an agent when he interview..."
My mind immediately said "Liberace" because for some reason, I recall seeing Murrow interview Liberace when I was a kid.
classic scene from a classic show
LoL the old Edward r Morrow gag again! You either love this show deeply or never heard of it.
I like to believe this took place at Mendy’s, after Bania left
Aw maannn... I miss Phil Hartman. he's such an underrated super funny guy.
one of my snl faves.
She had cancer treatments to remove a tumor a few years back--right around the time that Parenthood was going to go on the air, as Lauren Graham eventually had to step in for her.
SHHHH! ADMIT NOTHING...LOL LOLOL
Steven root is the man.
The waiter was also on a Seinfelds episode. Cant remmember which...
I loved the NewsRadio/Seinfeld crossover. They just needed to add the cast of Friends and Frasier and we have an epic crossover.
Jerry Seinfeld is like...a real person.. >_< it's not really a crossover unless George, Elaine, and/or Kramer was also on the episode...
J W That's stupid. Scooby Doo? What the hell?
Didi Meow NewsRadio could only afford the main star.
@@clue104 just saying it is just a cameo and not a two tv show crossover
if David Letterman was on it would it have been a newsradio / tonight show crossover or a cameo with David Letterman?
Folks who said Jerry was a bad actor on Seinfeld, which I kinda agree with but it made him more endearing, should look here. Jerry's doing a very different performance.
I still say that News Radio and Wings were the two most underrated sitcoms to ever air. Watching Hartman and Seinfeld play off each other is awesome.
I loved news radio, never really understood wings though..
They can't be underrated when News Radio had high ratings up until Phil's death and Wings enjoyed an 8 season run.

@@ryandeffley7652 Ah, you're saying they lack recognition. Underrated means something completely different.
@@Hootkins. - Lacking recognition when a show is deserving of it is the very definition of underrated. It's got nothing to do wiyh TV ratings. LOL
I think rewatching this, Jerry was probably purposely calling him Phil instead of his character's name Bill.
Phil was just amazingly funny!!
Jerry smiles while being angry is the best part lol
RIP Mr. Hartman.
When Jerry calls Phil Hartman, Phil was that scripted as him forgetting Bill's name or did he actually just slip up?
Rip Van he actually slipped up. Phil saved him and the crew thought the moment was funny so they kept it.
Jerry is a professional, I doubt he’d mess up like that.
He slipped up!! And it made for comedic gold
@@megavidaeos jerry is a pretty bad actor and he admits it. he's always almost laughing
@@larrote6467 bad, yes but consistent, so we kinda just go with it.
RIP Phil Hartman
Is that Troy McClure?
3:08 oh Jerry, if you knew.
and i was thinking which episode of seinfeld it is?
Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You might remember me from such shows as Pee Wee’s Playhouse, SNL and News Radio 😃
Part of the fun of this show was the interactions the characters had.
While Lisa and Bill always seemed to be at odds it was funny to see them go for interviews together.
such a great show. top 25
Now _That's_ gold!
"But I don't wanna pick a topic!"
@badi03 Good question! Jerry makes a weird smile right after the name slip, I wonder if he smiled because he just called Phil by his real name or if it actually was a real slip

It was a great moment and added to the scenario, so we are fortunate that they kept it in.

Great Cameo
Jerry Seinfeld: "Look, I'm a comedian. Nobody cares what a comedian thinks about serious issues."
Joe Rogan: "Hold my beer."
I take exception to that.
I don't consider Joe Rogan a comedian.
"Hold my THC infused passion fruit mate"
And Joe Rogan was on news radio also
My two fav shows merge😎
DYK that Jerry Seinfeld's "Seinfeld" co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus would later star with Dave Foley (Newsradio) in "A Bug's Life" (1998)?
This was fantastic. Sitcom gold. I love Seinfeld, but come on there was never anything on Seinfeld that was as funny as this scene. News Radio was such an underrated show.
Seinfeld is the funniest television show that America has ever offered...🤔
@@keithbannister9271 News Radio was funnier, same with 30 Rock, The Office Cheers, and Park and Rec. Seinfeld had its moments but was way overrated IMO.
Two legends
I’m assuming it’s not Jerry Seinfeld but in fact the character from Seinfeld and this is a crossover.
IDK, Jerry seems genuinely like a dbag from my deductions.
How come I'm just discovering this now?
Because you missed one of the funniest TV series of the '90s.
no kidding!
good stuff, never seen this.
Epic. Jerry Seinfeld vs. Phil Hartman. Iconic comedians.
He should of introduced himself as Troy McClure...you might remember me in such films as...!
This scene here has four of the most talented actors in it.
Jerry, Phil, I cannot remember her name at the moment and Bill's boss.
Maura Tierney and Stephen Root
that was the best show ever... damn woman how could you kill phil!!! so agravating...
I think it was the dude she was cheating with.
She shot him, called her freind said she shot him and then shot her self. I don't know how it could be anyone else.
strange i cant find phil doing this part on wikipedia
"Read Bill's contract."
it also says Jimmy is God in that contract
What makes it even funnier is Jerry Seinfeld is exactly like that in public and in interviews. But, he's a billionaire so he'll be fine.
