1. He sux!

[Ariana Celeste]

2. He was one of the worst on SNL, period.

:thumbsdown:

3. Not as bad as the fabulously unfunny Colin Quinn.

[WhollyHeretic]

8. I'll agree with that. I never understood how he was thought of as a comedian

He just seems like that annoying guy sitting at the next table at a bar.

[Bryan]

4. You might think better of him if you'd seen Brad Hall from the mid-'80s

Horrifying. Norm McDonald wasn't that hot, either; he ran a handful of jokes so far into the ground he hit lava ("...You guessed it, Frank Stallone!", "or as I call it, Nazi Germany!", "Germans love David Hasselhoff", "once again, the worst job in America... crack whore!"). Ugh.

9. Brad Hall...from "the dark years."

I was never crazy about Norm either, but some people seemed to love him.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. How did Jimmy Fallon get to where he is today?

I mean, like Seires-ly! Just how many degrees is he from Kevin Bacon?

6. Lorne Michels thought he appealed to the teenybopper crowd.

IIRC, Fallon didn't even audition for Weekend Update.

7. Not my favorite, but I liked him.

One of my favorite jokes of his involved creationism. He said dinosaurs will now be referred to as "Jesus horses."

:rofl:

10. But did he write that joke or did Tina?

:D

11. Don't know, but the delivery was great.

My personal favorite, though, was Norm MacDonald, even though he's a RWer. :(
