Randy's comments
Randy says Hartman was "a very talented actor and comedian" and lists Saturday Night Live, News Radio, Jingle All the Way, and voices on The Simpsons as part of his work. The segment is mostly a tribute to Hartman, with Randy expressing admiration for him throughout.
Randy also describes Hartman's wife as responsible for his death and uses highly abusive language about her. Because the transcript is garbled in places, the article keeps that account at the level of Randy's commentary rather than expanding beyond what is directly supported by the source.

Source note: The transcript is garbled in a few places around the death account, so the article stays close to the clearly supported claims: Hartman was a talented actor and comedian, and Randy discussed his death in condemnatory terms.
