Yes, Norm MacDonald WAS the BEST SNL Weekend Anchor.
I think Lorne Michaels removed him from the position because every once in a while he made fun of a liberal sacred cow.
I spoke to Norm here in Hollywood a few times with Jay Mohr, Jim Brewer etc. They lean to the right. Period. They just pretend to be middle ground to lie low before the screaming banshees called liberals.
Yep,he was good.
Don Ohlmeyer,head of NBC west coast,was old buddies with OJ.
Norm M. was merciless attacking OJ Simpson with joke during his trial.
Norm eventually got forced out of SNL because of this clash.
