Maybe so, but Norm MacDonald never gets the credit he deserves. A case could be made that he single handily kept that show afloat between the exodus of Phil Hartman to the arrival of Will Ferrell.
The show brought back so many great memories. I laughed hard. My biggest complaint was that the compilation videos were too ambitious. The 1-2 second snippets just got lost on top of each other.
I never knew that Chevy Chase was such an ******* and universally hated until I googled him. He was tough to see last night.
I always loved Dana Carvey but he didn't get much love in Rolling Stone's ranking of SNL actors. Bill Hader is very much underrated I think because he wasn't on the show during their more popular years.
Farley, as Matt Foley, IMO, is the greatest skit in SNL history. Will Ferrell playing cow bell is pretty high on my list too.
El Nino wasn't his best, but it's one of my favorites. I had a family member that was convinced the El Nino was going to cause apocalyptic weather, then I saw Chris Farley as "The Nino [video=youtube;IvmeUStFvz8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvmeUStFvz8[/video]
Thinking about the cultural impact of the show, with all of those legends in the same place, was truly remarkable.
Honestly, why do you give Rolling Stone a minute of your time? Between putting a terrorist on the cover and not doing any fact-checking with the UVA rape accusations, they need to be left to wither and die.
