CHRIS ROCK: `PHIL HARTMAN'S WIFE WAS A PSYCHO'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Chris Rock says there's a reason why tragedy has struck so many of his "Saturday Night Live" comrades: the "Comedian's Curse." In the latest "TV Guide," Rock claims that before he, Phil Hartman and Chris Farley became famous, they were all geeks that nobody liked. Rock figures that the reason why so many comedians are willing to make themselves miserable just to maintain their success. He says sometimes "...we explode. Our wives shoot us, we OD or whatever." In fact, Rock admits he thought Phil Hartman's wife, Brynn, was "a psycho" and claims Phil wanted out of the marriage but remained married only to protect the kids.
