When Comics Attack

I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near exciting as a UFC or MMA match, but I hope that the reports of Jon Lovitz beating up Andy Dick are true.

There's a list on RADAR that demonstrates how Andy "Dick" lives up to his name: (link)

December 1997 Gives coke to Phil Hartman's wife Brynn, who'd been sober for 10 years. Brynn kills herself and husband Phil five months later, and Lovitz holds Dick partly to blame

March 1999 Goes on three day-long drinking and drug binge in Las Vegas with actor David Strickland that ends with Strickland hanging himself by a bed sheet in his motel room

July 1999 His band, "Andy Dick and the Bitches of the Century" play at Woodstock '99, and Dick pulls down his pants and exposes himself to the crowd. In an interview some years later with Hustler, Dick explains he thought his indecent exposure would "calm the savage crowd"

February 2004 Kicked out of an alumni dinner for reportedly smoking pot in the basement at Washington University in St. Louis, Dick proceeds to crash a fraternity party, only to be knocked out by one of the frat brothers after grabbing the student's crotch

August 2004 Coldcocked by Wesley Snipes in a men's room after Dick made a pass at the fading action hero, as reported on Howard Stern's radio show

August 2006 Licks the faces of Farrah Fawcett, Carrie Fisher, and Patton Oswalt, and bites the hand of New York Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller backstage at the William Shatner roast. Stadtmiller also accuses Dick of urinating in front of her and offering her cocaine

December 2006 Angers an audience at the Improv in L.A. by shouting "You're a bunch of niggers!" in response to Michael Richards's use of the epithet
