Jon Lovitz refused to dwell on the past and instead took the high road in response to claims made by Crystal Hefner.

In a recent appearance on the "Lisa Guerrero Unleashed" podcast, Hugh Hefner's widow marked Lovitz, 69, as Playboy Mansion's "No. 1 customer," even claiming he's "one of the biggest pervs" in Hollywood.

The "Rat Race" actor was spotted leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, where he admitted to feeling pride about his starting role on the roster.

"Any time someone says I’m No. 1, it’s a compliment," Lovitz said before doubling down on his admiration for the late media mogul.

"Hugh Hefner was one of the nicest, most generous people I’ve ever met, and all of his friends know it," Lovitz said. "That’s all I have to say about that."

On Tuesday's episode, Crystal criticized the "Saturday Night Live" star for allegedly being a "lurker" at the Holmby Hills house, once known for its opulent parties.

"He would be up there all the time," Crystal claimed. "His eyes would go front to back [looking at] all the women that walked through the door at the party."

She also claimed Lovitz's dog "peed all over the place," adding, "I remember him. Every time, every party."

Crystal began dating Hefner when she was 21 years old. The couple got engaged in 2010 when she was 24 and the Playboy founder was 84.

They called off their wedding just days before the ceremony in 2011 but later reconciled. Crystal and Hefner married in 2012 and remained together until his death in 2017. He was 91.

On her own "After the Mansion" show, Crystal called out another Hollywood star and claimed that Jack Nicholson treated the Playboy Mansion like his own hot spot.

"They used to call it Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru at one point because he would drive up, grab some food or whatever else he could get there and leave," she claimed.

Nicholson's daughter, Lorraine, once shared her own experiences at the famous mansion where she spent her childhood playing with Hef's sons, Marston and Cooper.

"People assume that my father took me to the Mansion, but they assume wrong," she wrote in a 2024 essay for Vanity Fair. "In fact, I can venture with confidence that I spent more time there than my father ever did."

Crystal alleged her late husband was obsessed with Hollywood lore and stardom.

"One thing that mattered most to Hef was fame," she claimed. "Any celebrity was treated extremely well whenever they visited. He would have Bill Maher for chats, hang with Berry Gordy of Motown, and then you’d see plenty of other people there. Buzz Aldrin, the original Catwoman."

Shortly after Hefner's death, Crystal told Fox News Digital, she was thankful for her marriage to the late business mogul.

"He taught me love. He taught me kindness. He gave me life. He really did," she explained. "He opened my mind, my world, to all of these opportunities and experiences I would have never in my lifetime been able to have."

First off: This isn’t a Rick Moranis profile. I know you want it to be—we all want it to be—but it’s not. Maybe one day we’ll get the deep, rich look at a man who’s beloved by millions of comedy fans but who also stepped out of the public eye more than 30 years ago. Until then, there’s the fact that Moranis will be part of next year’s Spaceballs sequel, and as such was game enough to show up at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend (where, predictably, Hall H chaos ensued). Anthony Breznican was there, shadowing the proceedings. Read it at ludicrous speed, obviously.

Even in this holding area, Moranis is already getting a sense of the excitement building around him. Among the first people to have their socks knocked off is Clerks and Mallrats filmmaker Kevin Smith, the moderator of the presentation and a Comic-Con stalwart for decades. “I came for the panel because of Rick Moranis,” he tells me, invoking the name of the actor’s beer-swilling duo with Dave Thomas from their SCTV days. “Jay and Silent Bob doesn’t exist without Bob and Doug McKenzie. Having him at Comic-Con is like having geek royalty here. You’re talking about a dude who, for most of us, was there as we grew up. He was part of the fabric of the culture since we were kids.”

What moves the star of Jackass to risk his life for our entertainment? This “very serious investigation” involves interviews with friends and family, a surf trip to Malibu, a gag with a fake raccoon, and a stop at In-N-Out:

He nosed the car into the drive-through line, drawing stares as he nosed—some for the vehicle, some for the driver. Mostly male stares. A teen-age boy stepped up to the passenger window and leaned in to take his order.

“One hamburger with tomato, lettuce, and mustard,” Knoxville said. “Fries, please. And a cup of water.”

“Onion?”

“No, sir.”

The teen-ager squinted. “You look familiar. Are you famous, by any chance?”

“Actually, completely by chance!” Knoxville improvised.
