Subject: A clarification on Norm MacDonald

A while back, Mark Jennings Reese and I penned a skit in which Norm Macdonald was treated harshly. JPIII criticized us for treating him as a "prattling fool" and an "unfunny imbecille". I just wanted to finally state my position on Norm MacDonald; for all I know, he is a very intelligent man, but in my opinion he was never very humorous. All his impressions (Bob Dole, Marv Albert, Larry King) were done in the same voice, he had no modulation for his imitations like Darrell Hammond does. All of his Update Jokes were very weak, occasionally drawn out, and many of them had recurring unhumorous punchlines: Bill Clinton's ethical violations, O.J.'s guilt, Germany loving David Hasselhoff, Frank Stallone, ect. He did have a few funny lines, though I doubt he came up with those witticisms himself. If anyone wishes to see my evidence, go to the SNL transcript site and check the Norm MacDonald Weekend Update bits, you'll see that practically all of them aren't very funny. That's my opinion, and that's where I stand.

PS: I personally feel Kevin Nealon was the best Update anchor, second was Dennis Miller, third Jane Curtin, and then Colin Quinn.
