Jonathan Lovitz (born July 21, 1957 in Tarzana, California) is an American actor and comedian perhaps best known as a cast member of Saturday Night Live and for his show The Critic.
BiographyLovitz attended and studied theater at the University of California at Irvine and graduated in 1979. He studied acting with Tony Barr at the Film Actors Workshop. He became a member of The Groundlings comedy troupe where he befriended Phil Hartman and Paul Reubens.
One of his most notable SNL characters was "Tommy Flanagan, The Pathological Liar" that generated the catch phrase, "Yeah! That's the ticket!" Some of his other recurring characters included Master Thespian, Tonto, Mephistopheles, Hanukkah Harry, and Michael Dukakis. Lovitz succeeded Hartman on the comedy series NewsRadio following Hartman's murder. Lovitz has lent his voice to several cartoons and films. In the series The Critic he played the title character of Jay Sherman. On "The Simpsons" he played Marge's ex-prom date Artie Ziff, theater director Llewellyn Sinclair (and his sister, who runs a daycare center) on the season four episode "A Streetcar Named Marge", Jay Sherman from The Critic in the season six crossover episode "A Star is Burns", and paparazzo Enrico Irritazio in the season eighteen episode "Homerazzi".
In the late 1990s, Lovitz was "the man who wrote the Yellow Pages." He also had a highly memorable cameo as a rival crooner to Adam Sandler in the movie The Wedding Singer. On October 10, 2001, Lovitz sang a duet (with Robbie Williams) of the song Well, Did You Evah at the Royal Albert Hall in the UK. The recording can be found on the Swing When You're Winning album. In 2005 Lovitz entered stand-up comedy for the first time in his career. He also appeared in the film The Producers as the strict accounting firm chairman, Mr. Marx. In 2006 he became the spokesperson in an advertising campaign for the Subway restaurant chain. He speaks with an affected, faux British regal accent.
