Norman Gene "Norm" Macdonald is a Canadian stand-up comedian, writer, producer and actor. He is best known for his five seasons as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, which included anchoring Weekend Update for three years. Early in his career, he wrote for the sitcom Roseanne and made appearances on shows including The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio. He starred in The Norm Show from 1999 to 2001. Comedy Central named him #83 on the five-part miniseries 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. He is noted as a favorite talk show guest of David Letterman, Howard Stern, Dennis Miller, and Conan O'Brien. His brother is Canadian journalist Neil Macdonald, of CBC News.[3][4]
Macdonald was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada,[2] and raised in Ottawa, Ontario.[citation needed] Macdonald has a brother, Neil Macdonald, who is a journalist with the CBC.[4]
Career[edit]
Macdonald's first performances in comedy were at stand-up at clubs in Ottawa. He appeared at the 1987 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.[5]
Saturday Night Live[edit]
Macdonald joined the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) television program in 1993, where he performed impressions of Larry King, Burt Reynolds, David Letterman, Charles Kuralt and Bob Dole, among others. Following Kevin Nealon's departure from SNL, Macdonald anchored the segment Weekend Update. Chevy Chase, the first anchor of Weekend Update, has quipped that Macdonald was the "best Weekend Update anchor since – well – Chevy Chase".[6] Current Update anchor and head writer Colin Jost named Macdonald as a primary influence on Jost's own work behind the "Update" desk, explaining that Macdonald's tone was one that Jost grew up with in high school.[7]
Macdonald's version of Weekend Update often included repeated references to prison rape, crack whores and the Germans' love of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff. Macdonald would occasionally deliver a piece of news, then take out his personal compact tape recorder and leave a "note to self" relevant to what he just discussed. He commonly used Frank Stallone as a non sequitur punchline. Macdonald repeatedly ridiculed public figures such as Marion Barry, Michael Jackson and O. J. Simpson. Throughout Simpson's trial for murder, Macdonald constantly pilloried the former football star, often heavily implying Simpson was guilty of the brutal slaying of his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. In the broadcast following Simpson's acquittal, Macdonald opened Weekend Update by saying: "Well, it is finally official: murder is legal in the state of California."
During the February 24, 1996, episode, Macdonald made a controversial joke about the sentencing of John Lotter, one of the two men who committed the notorious murder of Brandon Teena: "In Falls City, Nebraska, John Lotter has been sentenced to death for attempting to kill three people in what prosecutors called a plot to silence a cross-dressing female who had accused him of rape. Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story deserved to die."[8][9]
After the announcement that Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley planned to divorce, Macdonald joked about their irreconcilable differences on Weekend Update: "She's more of a stay-at-home type, and he's more of a homosexual pedophile." He followed this up a few episodes later with a report about the singer's collapse and hospitalization. Referring to a report of how Jackson had decorated his hospital room with giant photographs of Shirley Temple, Macdonald remarked that viewers should not get the wrong idea, adding, "Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile." The joke elicited audible gasps from some audience members. He responded to this by saying, "What? He is a homosexual pedophile."[10]
Another uncomfortable moment occurred during the April 12, 1997, show (host Rob Lowe, musical guest The Spice Girls), wherein, during a Weekend Update story about Tabitha Soren, he accidentally coughed in the middle of a sentence and, live on the air, muttered, "What the fuck was that?" The audience applauded, and Macdonald laughed the error away (saying at one point "My fare

Norm's exit from SNL has long been debated. Who was behind it? Why did it happen? For me the answer is quite obvious: it was the stealthy, unfunny, control freak Lorne Michaels who did not have the guts to admit that Norm's weekend update was the best part of the show. As Norm's genius exposed how unfunny the rest of SNL was, Lorne started to freak out. Norm is a nice guy so he never openly outed Loren, but you can hear in his voice the truth... I hope you enjoy my video, thank you for watching.

Famous quotes by Norm Macdonald:
"I would love to stay at SNL forever. But you can't stay in the same place. People think you're a loser."
"Scientists believe they may have discovered a primitive form of life on Jupiter's moon Europa. That primitive form of life? You guessed it, Frank Stallone."
"I'm not gay, so I don't know much about Broadway musicals."
"I was in my peak physical condition when I was about like, uh... one. Oh God, I looked good, young and fresh! You wouldn't know me now if you'd seen me when I was one, you know?"
"I've just seen really, really funny guys, and if I didn't know them, I wouldn't know they were funny from the television. I don't know what it does, it just sucks it away."
"It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude."
"When I hear a guy lost a battle to cancer, that really did bother me, that that's a term. It implies that he failed and that somebody else that defeated cancer is heroic and courageous."
"I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world."
"I always told everybody the perfect joke would be where the setup and punch line were identical."
"Comedy is surprises, so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny."
"I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone."
"I like doing a funny show where I don't have to act and fall in love with a girl."
"I think clever people think that poor people are stupid."
"I just like doing standup, that's all I'm interested in or good at."
Norm MacDonald

Norm MacDonald Exposes Lorne Michaels and SNL: Why Safe Comedy Sucks!
Norm's exit from SNL has long been debated. Who was behind it? Why did it happen? For me the answer is quite obvious: it was the stealthy, unfunny, control freak Lorne Michaels who did not have the guts to admit that Norm's weekend update was the best part of the show. As Norm's genius exposed how unfunny the rest of SNL was, Lorne started to freak out. Norm is a nice guy so he never openly outed Loren, but you can hear in his voice the truth... I hope you enjoy my video, thank you for watching. -

He is noted as a favorite talk show guest of David Letterman, Howard Stern, Dennis Miller, and Conan O'Brien. His brother is Canadian journalist Neil Macdonald, of CBC News.[3][4]
Macdonald was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada,[2] and raised in Ottawa, Ontario.[citation needed] Macdonald has a brother, Neil Macdonald, who is a journalist with the CBC.[4]
Career[edit]
Macdonald's first performances in comedy were at stand-up at clubs in Ottawa. He appeared at the 1987 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.[5]
Saturday Night Live[edit]
Macdonald joined the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) television program in 1993, where he performed impressions of Larry King, Burt Reynolds, David Letterman, Charles Kuralt and Bob Dole, among others. Following Kevin Nealon's departure from SNL, Macdonald anchored the segment Weekend Update. Chevy Chase, the first anchor of Weekend Update, has quipped that Macdonald was the "best Weekend Update anchor since – well – Chevy Chase".[6] Current Update anchor and head writer Colin Jost named Macdonald as a primary influence on Jost's own work behind the "Update" desk, explaining that Macdonald's tone was one that Jost grew up with in high school.[7]
Macdonald's version of Weekend Update often included repeated references to prison rape, crack whores and the Germans' love of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff. Macdonald would occasionally deliver a piece of news, then take out his personal compact tape recorder and leave a "note to self" relevant to what he just discussed. He commonly used Frank Stallone as a non sequitur punchline. Macdonald repeatedly ridiculed public figures such as Marion Barry, Michael Jackson and O. J. Simpson. Throughout Simpson's trial for murder, Macdonald constantly pilloried the former football star, often heavily implying Simpson was guilty of the brutal slaying of his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. In the broadcast following Simpson's acquittal, Macdonald opened Weekend Update by saying: "Well, it is finally official: murder is legal in the state of California."
During the February 24, 1996, episode, Macdonald made a controversial joke about the sentencing of John Lotter, one of the two men who committed the notorious murder of Brandon Teena: "In Falls City, Nebraska, John Lotter has been sentenced to death for attempting to kill three people in what prosecutors called a plot to silence a cross-dressing female who had accused him of rape. Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story deserved to die."[8][9]
After the announcement that Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley planned to divorce, Macdonald joked about their irreconcilable differences on Weekend Update: "She's more of a stay-at-home type, and he's more of a homosexual pedophile." He followed this up a few episodes later with a report about the singer's collapse and hospitalization. Referring to a report of how Jackson had decorated his hospital room with giant photographs of Shirley Temple, Macdonald remarked that viewers should not get the wrong idea, adding, "Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile." The joke elicited audible gasps from some audience members. He responded to this by saying, "What? He is a homosexual pedophile."[10]
Another uncomfortable moment occurred during the April 12, 1997, show (host Rob Lowe, musical guest The Spice Girls), wherein, during a Weekend Update story about Tabitha Soren, he accidentally coughed in the middle of a sentence and, live on the air, muttered, "What the fuck was that?" The audience applauded, and Macdonald laughed the error away (saying at one point "My fare

Early in his career, he wrote for the sitcom Roseanne and made appearances on shows including The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio. He starred in The Norm Show from 1999 to 2001. Comedy Central named him #83 on the five-part miniseries 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. He is noted as a favorite talk show guest of David Letterman, Howard Stern, Dennis Miller, and Conan O'Brien. His brother is Canadian journalist Neil Macdonald, of CBC News.[3][4]
Macdonald was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada,[2] and raised in Ottawa, Ontario.[citation needed] Macdonald has a brother, Neil Macdonald, who is a journalist with the CBC.[4]
Career[edit]
Macdonald's first performances in comedy were at stand-up at clubs in Ottawa. He appeared at the 1987 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.[5]
Saturday Night Live[edit]
Macdonald joined the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) television program in 1993, where he performed impressions of Larry King, Burt Reynolds, David Letterman, Charles Kuralt and Bob Dole, among others. Following Kevin Nealon's departure from SNL, Macdonald anchored the segment Weekend Update. Chevy Chase, the first anchor of Weekend Update, has quipped that Macdonald was the "best Weekend Update anchor since – well – Chevy Chase".[6] Current Update anchor and head writer Colin Jost named Macdonald as a primary influence on Jost's own work behind the "Update" desk, explaining that Macdonald's tone was one that Jost grew up with in high school.[7]
Macdonald's version of Weekend Update often included repeated references to prison rape, crack whores and the Germans' love of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff. Macdonald would occasionally deliver a piece of news, then take out his personal compact tape recorder and leave a "note to self" relevant to what he just discussed. He commonly used Frank Stallone as a non sequitur punchline. Macdonald repeatedly ridiculed public figures such as Marion Barry, Michael Jackson and O. J. Simpson. Throughout Simpson's trial for murder, Macdonald constantly pilloried the former football star, often heavily implying Simpson was guilty of the brutal slaying of his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. In the broadcast following Simpson's acquittal, Macdonald opened Weekend Update by saying: "Well, it is finally official: murder is legal in the state of California."
During the February 24, 1996, episode, Macdonald made a controversial joke about the sentencing of John Lotter, one of the two men who committed the notorious murder of Brandon Teena: "In Falls City, Nebraska, John Lotter has been sentenced to death for attempting to kill three people in what prosecutors called a plot to silence a cross-dressing female who had accused him of rape. Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story deserved to die."[8][9]
After the announcement that Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley planned to divorce, Macdonald joked about their irreconcilable differences on Weekend Update: "She's more of a stay-at-home type, and he's more of a homosexual pedophile." He followed this up a few episodes later with a report about the singer's collapse and hospitalization. Referring to a report of how Jackson had decorated his hospital room with giant photographs of Shirley Temple, Macdonald remarked that viewers should not get the wrong idea, adding, "Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile." The joke elicited audible gasps from some audience members. He responded to this by saying, "What? He is a homosexual pedophile."[10]
Another uncomfortable moment occurred during the April 12, 1997, show (host Rob Lowe, musical guest The Spice Girls), wherein, during a Weekend Update story about Tabitha Soren, he accidentally coughed in the middle of a sentence and, live on the air, muttered, "What the fuck was that?" The audience applauded, and Macdonald laughed the error away (saying at one point "My fare

Norm's exit from SNL has long been debated. Who was behind it? Why did it happen? For me the answer is quite obvious: it was the stealthy, unfunny, control freak Lorne Michaels who did not have the guts to admit that Norm's weekend update was the best part of the show. As Norm's genius exposed how unfunny the rest of SNL was, Lorne started to freak out. Norm is a nice guy so he never openly outed Loren, but you can hear in his voice the truth... I hope you enjoy my video, thank you for watching.

Artie Lange is an American comedian, actor, author and radio show host, best known for his tenures on The Howard Stern Show and the sketch comedy series Mad TV. Born and raised in New Jersey, Lange first worked as a longshoreman and cab driver to help support his family following the death of his quadriplegic father. After making his stand-up debut in 1987, he began a full-time comedy career in 1992, performing stand-up and improv shows throughout the New York City area.
In 1995, Lange moved to Los Angeles to star in the first season of Mad TV before his arrest for cocaine possession caused his departure during the second season in 1997. After rehabilitation, Norm Macdonald chose Lange to star in his comedy film Dirty Work (1998) which secured Lange additional film roles and, from 1999 to 2001, a place on Macdonald's sitcom, The Norm Show. Lange returned to New York City to join The Howard Stern Show in 2001 which lasted for eight years. He pursued various projects during this time; he released the comedy albums It's the Whiskey Talkin' (2004) and Jack and Coke (2009), co-wrote, produced, and starred in his feature film Artie Lange's Beer League (2006), and co-wrote his first memoir, Too Fat to Fish (2008), which entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one. Lange left the show in January 2010 following a suicide attempt from a heroin addiction.
Lange resumed his career in 2011 as the co-host of a radio show with Nick DiPaolo named The Nick & Artie Show. After DiPaolo left in 2013, it was renamed The Artie Lange Show which lasted until April 2014. Lange co-wrote a second book during this time, Crash and Burn (2013). Lange started his podcast, The Artie Quitter Podcast, in January 2015 and continues to perform comedy and act in various capacities. His third book is set for release in 2017.
Macdonald was a guest character on My Name Is Earl in the episode "Two Balls, Two Strikes" as "Lil Chubby", the son of "Chubby" (played by Burt Reynolds), similar to Macdonald's portrayals of Reynolds on SNL. In September 2010, it was reported that Macdonald was developing a new series for Comedy Central that he described as a sports version of The Daily Show.[21] As of April 2011, the show was titled Sports Show with Norm Macdonald and premiered on April 12 on Comedy Central.[22] The Sports Show was not renewed, reportedly due to low ratings, after all nine ordered episodes were broadcast. Macdonald's first stand-up special, Me Doing Stand-Up, aired on Comedy Central on March 26.[23] On May 23, 2011 Comedy Central announced the release an audio CD and DVD of the special on June 14 on Comedy Central Records, and Home Entertainment.[24] It was also made available as a digital download. Both releases contain uncensored and unseen material from the special, and the DVD special features include the sitcom pilot Back To Norm, an animated featurette The Twelve Days Of Christmas, and Macdonald's appearance on The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget.[25]
On February 26, 2011, he became a commentator and co-host (with Kara Scott) of the seventh season of the TV series High Stakes Poker on Game Show Network. He hosted Sports Show with Norm Macdonald on Comedy Central, which began airing on April 12, 2011.
Macdonald says his influences include Bob Newhart,[38] Leo Tolstoy, Bob Hope, Sam Kinison, and Dennis Miller. Speaking about Canada's homegrown comedy industry, Macdonald reflected that he would have liked there to have been more opportunity for him to stay in the country early in his career, stating:

“The scariest [part about writing a book] is I have no education and so I really feel like to be a good writer, you need education,” the comedian, who never graduated high school, told Page Six on Thursday after hosting “Gotham Comedy Live.” “My son has [an] education.

“I’ve never worked so hard. It was very hard for me to keep a whole book in my head. I could keep a sketch in my head or even a movie … but a book. It’s so hard to keep that whole thing at once in your head,” he explained.
‘[I] feel like I’m losing my mind when I’m writing.’

“If you like a good old-fashioned tell-all bombshell about sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll, and if you like an unflinching account of how the dirty little business of big-time comedy works, then you will love ‘Based On A True Story,’” Macdonald wrote in the publisher’s announcement last December.
“OK, one time I do flinch. But only once. The rest of the time, unflinching. Also, there will be no mention of rock ’n’ roll. I was lying.”
The 250-page, 100,000-word book was “supposed to take a year” to pen, but it “took five years,” Macdonald revealed. “I’d read it and then as soon as I read it, rewrite it. Read it, rewrite it. Read it, rewrite it.”
But for someone who struggled with telling his own story, Macdonald’s found solace in the work of the greats.
“I just read the Russians. I don’t read anything modern. I haven’t read anything modern ever in my life. People try to turn me on to stuff and I go, ‘Well, I don’t know,’” he said. “If it’s happy, you call it classic. They call it classic if it’s around for a couple hundred years, so I’ve gotta catch up. It’s going to take me my whole life.”
He's fascinated, too! Howard Stern shared his many questions for Kelly Ripa with Jimmy Kimmel ahead of the late-night personality's stint as the first guest-host on Live with Kelly following Michael Strahan's departure last Friday, May 13.
Kimmel, 48, called in to Stern's SiriusXM radio show on Monday, May 16, shortly before joining Ripa in the cohost's chair on the syndicated program. Like other morning-show viewers, Kimmel and Stern discussed Strahan's dramatic exit from Live and the hullaballoo that preceded his transition to coanchor with Good Morning America full-time. As previously reported by Us Weekly, Ripa was blindsided by the news of the former NFL player's departure and was upset during an intimate meeting with her former cohost and ABC executives. She then took a sick day following news of Strahan's departure, and enjoyed a preplanned wedding anniversary vacation. She returned to the program that following Tuesday, when she spoke about "respect in the workplace" among other issues at Live. Below, Us lists some of the burning questions Stern, Kimmel and some of the shock jock's team had about Ripa.
1. "I want to know: Will she ever talk to Michael Strahan again?" Stern asked Kimmel. "But the real answer … because they're not talking to one another because we read it in the paper." And by logic, said Stern, "the paper never lies."

Norm Macdonald’s been dubbed a comedic genius for his subversive brand of comedy, but penning his forthcoming memoir reminded him that he’s had “no education.”
“The scariest [part about writing a book] is I have no education and so I really feel like to be a good writer, you need education,” the comedian, who never graduated high school, told Page Six on Thursday after hosting “Gotham Comedy Live.” “My son has [an] education. He’s a much better writer than I am, and he’s only 20.”
Starting from when Macdonald was born in Quebec City, Canada, and spanning his storied career — writing for “Roseanne,” appearing on “The Drew Carey Show,” becoming a household name as an anchor on “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live” to ultimately being fired in 1998 from the Lorne Michaels-created show — the 52-year-old certainly has plenty of material to work with.
“I’ve never worked so hard. It was very hard for me to keep a whole book in my head. I could keep a sketch in my head or even a movie … but a book. It’s so hard to keep that whole thing at once in your head,” he explained.
‘[I] feel like I’m losing my mind when I’m writing.’

Norm Macdonald is a Canadian stand-up comedian, writer, producer and actor. He is best known for his five seasons as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, which included anchoring Weekend Update for three years. Early in his career, he wrote for the sitcom Roseanne and made appearances on shows including The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio. He starred in The Norm Show from 1999 to 2001. Comedy Central named him #83 on the five-part miniseries 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. He is noted as a favorite talk show guest of David Letterman, Howard Stern, Dennis Miller, and Conan O'Brien. His brother is Canadian journalist Neil Macdonald, of CBC News
Artie Lange is an American comedian, actor, author and radio show host, best known for his tenures on The Howard Stern Show and the sketch comedy series Mad TV. Born and raised in New Jersey, Lange first worked as a longshoreman and cab driver to help support his family following the death of his quadriplegic father. After making his stand-up debut in 1987, he began a full-time comedy career in 1992, performing stand-up and improv shows throughout the New York City area.
In 1995, Lange moved to Los Angeles to star in the first season of Mad TV before his arrest for cocaine possession caused his departure during the second season in 1997. After rehabilitation, Norm Macdonald chose Lange to star in his comedy film Dirty Work (1998) which secured Lange additional film roles and, from 1999 to 2001, a place on Macdonald's sitcom, The Norm Show. Lange returned to New York City to join The Howard Stern Show in 2001 which lasted for eight years. He pursued various projects during this time; he released the comedy albums It's the Whiskey Talkin' (2004) and Jack and Coke (2009), co-wrote, produced, and starred in his feature film Artie Lange's Beer League (2006), and co-wrote his first memoir, Too Fat to Fish (2008), which entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one. Lange left the show in January 2010 following a suicide attempt from a heroin addiction.
Lange resumed his career in 2011 as the co-host of a radio show with Nick DiPaolo named The Nick & Artie Show. After DiPaolo left in 2013, it was renamed The Artie Lange Show which lasted until April 2014. Lange co-wrote a second book during this time, Crash and Burn (2013). Lange started his podcast, The Artie Quitter Podcast, in January 2015 and continues to perform comedy and act in various capacities. His third book is set for release in 2017.
Macdonald was a guest character on My Name Is Earl in the episode "Two Balls, Two Strikes" as "Lil Chubby", the son of "Chubby" (played by Burt Reynolds), similar to Macdonald's portrayals of Reynolds on SNL. In September 2010, it was reported that Macdonald was developing a new series for Comedy Central that he described as a sports version of The Daily Show.[21] As of April 2011, the show was titled Sports Show with Norm Macdonald and premiered on April 12 on Comedy Central.[22] The Sports Show was not renewed, reportedly due to low ratings, after all nine ordered episodes were broadcast. Macdonald's first stand-up special, Me Doing Stand-Up, aired on Comedy Central on March 26.[23] On May 23, 2011 Comedy Central announced the release an audio CD and DVD of the special on June 14 on Comedy Central Records, and Home Entertainment.[24] It was also made available as a digital download. Both releases contain uncensored and unseen material from the special, and the DVD special features include the sitcom pilot Back To Norm, an animated featurette The Twelve Days Of Christmas, and Macdonald's appearance on The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget.[25]
On February 26, 2011, he became a commentator and co-host (with Kara Scott) of the seventh season of the TV series High Stakes Poker on Game Show Network. He hosted Sports Show with Norm Macdonald on Comedy Central, which began airing on April 12, 2011.
Macdonald says his influences include Bob Newhart,[38] Leo Tolstoy, Bob Hope, Sam Kinison, and Dennis Miller. Speaking about Canada's homegrown comedy industry, Macdonald reflected that he would have liked there to have been more opportunity for him to stay in the country early in his career, stating:

He is noted as a favorite talk show guest of David Letterman, Howard Stern, Dennis Miller, and Conan O'Brien. His brother is Canadian journalist Neil Macdonald, of CBC News.[3][4]
Macdonald was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada,[2] and raised in Ottawa, Ontario.[citation needed] Macdonald has a brother, Neil Macdonald, who is a journalist with the CBC.[4]
Career[edit]
Macdonald's first performances in comedy were at stand-up at clubs in Ottawa. He appeared at the 1987 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.[5]
Saturday Night Live[edit]
Macdonald joined the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) television program in 1993, where he performed impressions of Larry King, Burt Reynolds, David Letterman, Charles Kuralt and Bob Dole, among others. Following Kevin Nealon's departure from SNL, Macdonald anchored the segment Weekend Update. Chevy Chase, the first anchor of Weekend Update, has quipped that Macdonald was the "best Weekend Update anchor since – well – Chevy Chase".[6] Current Update anchor and head writer Colin Jost named Macdonald as a primary influence on Jost's own work behind the "Update" desk, explaining that Macdonald's tone was one that Jost grew up with in high school.[7]
Macdonald's version of Weekend Update often included repeated references to prison rape, crack whores and the Germans' love of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff. Macdonald would occasionally deliver a piece of news, then take out his personal compact tape recorder and leave a "note to self" relevant to what he just discussed. He commonly used Frank Stallone as a non sequitur punchline. Macdonald repeatedly ridiculed public figures such as Marion Barry, Michael Jackson and O. J. Simpson. Throughout Simpson's trial for murder, Macdonald constantly pilloried the former football star, often heavily implying Simpson was guilty of the brutal slaying of his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. In the broadcast following Simpson's acquittal, Macdonald opened Weekend Update by saying: "Well, it is finally official: murder is legal in the state of California."
During the February 24, 1996, episode, Macdonald made a controversial joke about the sentencing of John Lotter, one of the two men who committed the notorious murder of Brandon Teena: "In Falls City, Nebraska, John Lotter has been sentenced to death for attempting to kill three people in what prosecutors called a plot to silence a cross-dressing female who had accused him of rape. Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story deserved to die."[8][9]
After the announcement that Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley planned to divorce, Macdonald joked about their irreconcilable differences on Weekend Update: "She's more of a stay-at-home type, and he's more of a homosexual pedophile." He followed this up a few episodes later with a report about the singer's collapse and hospitalization. Referring to a report of how Jackson had decorated his hospital room with giant photographs of Shirley Temple, Macdonald remarked that viewers should not get the wrong idea, adding, "Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile." The joke elicited audible gasps from some audience members. He responded to this by saying, "What? He is a homosexual pedophile."[10]
Another uncomfortable moment occurred during the April 12, 1997, show (host Rob Lowe, musical guest The Spice Girls), wherein, during a Weekend Update story about Tabitha Soren, he accidentally coughed in the middle of a sentence and, live on the air, muttered, "What the fuck was that?" The audience applauded, and Macdonald laughed the error away (saying at one point "My fare
