Never heard of him. And never watched SNL


Thanks for sharing.

One of the few comedians who could make me laugh. A lot of them give political lectures for applause.

" Yes! Thanks for the reminder. Do you recall who did the Sean Connery impressions? "

No, but I was just wondering that myself. I just watched one of the skits. Absolute classic.

Sorry to hear that. He was funny, unlike most of the present bums.

“He was pretty funny on “The Middle” for a few episodes”

Yeah I have been recoding re-runs of the Middle. Saw just last week where Norm’s Character burned down his house at or around Thanksgiving. He played the main Character Mike Heck’s dimwitted Brother Rusty. he was in 10 episodes over the years.

Right. That character was a total loser — and hilarious. I think he moved into the Hecks’ garage or something. (It’s been a while.)

MacDonald was a very funny and entertaining guy, and I am sorry for what he had to go through with cancer, and what his family has to deal with going forward. 61 is way too young. RIP, Norm, and sincere condolences to your family.

I remember the name, but I don’t remember him. RIP.

Do you remember Turd Ferguson?

That was a funny compilation of skits, but I never saw SNL after Belushi died, while I was working in Midtown.

We got tickets to the show thru our ad agency whenever I wanted them; same for Broadway plays. I did miss a lot of years of SNL before moving to PA.
