Lovitz to "NewsRadio"?

Will it be a Saturday Night Live alum to step in for a fallen funnyman comrade?

Jon Lovitz is the top choice of producers to replace the late Phil Hartman in the cast of NBC sitcom NewsRadio, reports say.

Lovitz and Hartman worked together for four seasons in the late 1980s on SNL.

Lovitz is said to be undecided as to whether to take the NewsRadio gig. He reportedly has wrestled with the idea of taking a job created by the death of a friend. Hartman was murdered at the hands of his wife last month. He was 49.

No word on what character Lovitz (or whoever) would play on the critically acclaimed, but ratings-challenged. Costar Hartman played the fictional station's pompous anchor, Bill McNeal.

USA Today says actor Patrick Warburton is also on the short list to sub for Hartman.

Warburton is best known for a recurring role on Seinfeld. He played David Puddy, Elaine's auto-mechanic beau.
