Old Macdonald

Back in the days when Saturday Night Live wasn’t 90 minutes of digital suck, Norm Macdonald hosted “Weekend Update.” His onscreen gems include, after the announcement of a Kenny G./Michael Bolton Christmas album, saying: “Happy birthday, Jesus. Hope you like crap.” And after the O.J. Simpson acquittal saying: “Well, it’s official, murder is legal in California.”
