I love Norm McDonald. I remember seeing him on Letterman years ago and he spoke about being fired from SNL because the president of NBC (the name Ebersole comes to mind but not sure)was great friends with OJ Simpson and the NBC president thought Norm was being to brutal to him so he was fired.

I think the NBC exec was Don Ohlymeyer. He didn't think Norm's jokes were funny so he had Lorne Michaels take him off the air. After it happened Norm went on Letterman and excoriated Ohlmeyer. It was great.
