Jon Lovitz: Comedian for Life
Jon Lovitz will keep 'em laughing all the way to the grave.
The funnyman has signed an unprecedented contract with the Laugh Factory to perform his standup routine at the Hollywood comedy club every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. for the rest of his life.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, though it was described as "lucrative." Lovitz's prior contract had been due to expire on June 30.
"I had to do whatever I could to keep this incredible show at the Laugh Factory. Everybody loves Lovitz," club owner Jamie Masada said in a statement.
The contract includes a clause requiring the 49-year-old comedian to pass a physical exam every three years in order for the deal to remain in effect.
"I'm praying for a long engagement," Lovitz said in a statement. "Who knows? I could become the Don Ho of Los Angeles. God knows, I've got enough Hawaiian shirts."
As it stands, his live performance contract is believed to be the lengthiest in show business history, rivaled only by Milton Berle's 30-year contract with NBC and the Three Stooges' 27-year deal with Columbia Pictures.
In addition to his weekly performance, the Saturday Night Live alum will also pen a career advice blog for fledgling comics on the Laugh Factory's Website, where he will respond to questions and dispense personal advice to his readers.
Though his career as an entertainer spans more than two decades, Lovitz only began doing standup in 2005.
After leaving SNL in 1992, he went on to voice film critic Jay Sherman in the animated series The Critic from 1994 to 1995. In 1997, he joined the cast of NewsRadio for the show's final season, replacing the late Phil Hartman. He also voices several recurring characters on The Simpsons.
His film credits include Southland Tales, The Benchwarmers, The Producers, The Stepford Wives, Little Nicky and The Wedding Singer.
Lovitz will next be seen on the big screen this fall in the romantic comedy, I Could Never Be Your Woman, starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
