Author Mike Thomas: “Like many of my best ideas, the notion to write a biography of Phil Hartman came from someone else – namely, scribe and former stand-up comedian Vince Vieceli. A former comic and co-author of the recently published ‘Stand-Up Comedy in Chicago’, Vince emailed me one day in late 2010 and said he’d like to read a book on Phil. ‘That’s a great idea,’ I replied, ‘and a subject I love. Phil was the tops.’ So a massive thank-you goes to Vince for getting my creative juices flowing again after a frustrating dry spell.”
Vince: The above is an excerpt from the ‘Acknowledgements’ section of the book. Upon reading it for the first time, I was flattered and humbled because Mike didn’t have to mention me, but that he did is a testament to his character and integrity, and I couldn’t be happier for him because the book is fantastic.

Per Goodreads.com: “Both joyous tribute and serious biography, Mike Thomas’ You Might Remember Me is a celebration of Phil Hartman’s multi-faceted career and an exhaustively reported, warts-and-all examination of his often intriguing and sometimes complicated life–a powerful, humor-filled and disquieting portrait of a man who was loved by many, admired by millions and taken from them far too early.”
