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.

Thanks, I was just going to correct myself. Googling Norm MacDonald I see I few interesting facts among which is that indeed it was Don Ohlmeyer who axed him.
Norm will be on Letterman Nov 10 (Barbara Bush on Leno Nov 4)

I remember that.
One of the things I googled up just now about Ohlmeyer is that he is (was??) on the Board of Advisors to Salon.com!! (year 2000).
I stopped watching SNL after they canned Norm.
