Norm MacDonald says the F-word on live television

[webb428]

He wasn't fired just for this but it was one of the reasons

[bulletproof2353]

the best was the conspiracy theory rock skit that robert smigel did in protest, that they pulled from all reruns ,at the end they say why he was fired ,its in my channel favorites

[kdemon17]

Lol

[zackhanscom]

he's able to take shitty obvious boring jokes and make them funny

[matttatum4]

now i know why he was fired....michaels a homosexual pedofile, o.j's guilty, and an f-bomb on live t.v when u wernt even aloud to say bitch LOL norms hilarious

[thSubliminalCriminal]

no he wasn't fired for this supposed f-bomb it was just an excuse since that bald headed fat fuck was oj simpsons homeboy and norm couldn't let a double homicide slide like ito and the blacks could so he attacked the best way he could with murder jokes and disrespect. besides in the end that cunt simpson showed the world just what kind of ruthless thug he really is.. fucken black cunt

[kalel0192]

Man, that was hilarious!

[donnieaveryfan17]

I've been looking for the first joke forever! Thanks!

[joekoe97]

He knew he was fucked. He didn't care.

[SweetPea2288]

Actually, he did get fired for this!

[randomuser942464]

@SweetPea2288 no he didnt

[Mundane05]

Did they fire that chick who said fuck in SNL too?

[CoolerKing37]

@Mundane05 Jenny Slate? They just didn't renew her contract (which I guess is really a nice way of saying fired...)

[pagan667]

He actually was fired because of this, and after this SNL was no longer aired live. Such a shame...

[aldec5baseball7]

@pagan667 snl is and always has been live. The f bomb has been said on snl like two or three times since this, along with things like the ashly Simpson insident. So yea, it is stil live.

[GTinATL100]

Norm was the best Weekend Update host EVER!

[TheTravisChannel]

this was good!

[KyleAKAHerm]

fuck was that?

[KopaleKopale]

F-word? What are you gay? ;D FUCK!

[nabradcliffe]

only some sketches are funny in snl. wasnt as good as it was a long time ago. just like 'in living color'. i think the best season is season 2. then when it comes to season 5, new actors came n it was disappointing

[failmore]

American tv is fucking retarded

[ivorybanger88]

that first joke was frikin funny

wat was it taken from?

[cbaile]

@ivorybanger88 These are clips from when Norm did Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.

[TheCottonTop]

@ivorybanger88 SNL Weekend Update. I watched that show live and I remeber thinking. "Did he just say fuck?" But then thought nothing of it. This sort of thing happens from time to time, right? It's funny that I can remeber him saying "My farewell performance." And thinking thats funny. But Larne Michaels thought otherwise. He must have told Norm and every other cast memeber. "If you ever say fuck while we are live, you're out of here." Norm and Lorne knew he was fired before anyone else did.

[Ujak118]

@ivorybanger88 . weekend update with norm

[LillianIsMyName]

@ivorybanger88 SNL weekend update

[Ecksntrick8]

Charles Rocket got fired, but Norm's you could barely even hear..but wasn't fired for this.

[xxxxdarksidexxxx]

its a god dam shame to take a legend off air because of there ideals rather then their context

another media fail, let me count the ways

[adawg37]

He got fired cause of all his OJ ripping. Apparently Lorne or some other his up likes wifekillers.

[xxcharmed1xx]

@adawg37 i believe it was b/c he called michael jackson a homosexual pedophile

[Pullmeahoot]

@adawg37 wrong its cause he said fuck on live tv.

[unmemorablehero]

He got fired for this?!?! I always new he'd been fired for dropping a fat f-bomb on tv but Wow! I wouldn't doubt that if that happened now, he'd be just fined, not fired, I mean Jenny Slate says it SO much louder than that, and from what I've heard is still good.

[armysniperman80]

He wasnt fired for that!

[unmemorablehero]

Well I know it wasn't JUST that, but it definitely had a big part in it.

[armysniperman80]

Actually that had nothing at all to do with it if you know the whole story.

[cussler7]

"my farewell performance" lol. norm was the best anchor they had, way better than meyers or any of the newer ones.

[CreepyEyeFilms]

Hell yeah he was. Though I'd like to say Tina and Amy were good too, not as good as MacDonald. The worst two that I've seen were Colin Quinn & Seth Myers. I haven't seen any of those short lived ones from the 80s.

[mase5701]

Kevin Nealon was by far the best ever.

[TimThomason]

He tells the same joke in his White House Correspondents' Dinner, with Matt Lauer as the "pretend news anchor." I'm not sure which was first though, but it's a good joke.

The late Charles Rocket, according to some, was fired over the f-bomb in a sketch, and I'm sure MacDonald received a harsh word or two, especially since the audience took clear notice of him saying it. I'd love to see the video, although it's not really necessary.

I don't think broadcast delays existed much before 2004.

[armysniperman80]

Rocket didnt say it in a sketch - he said it at the end when everyone was on stage saying goodbye and all of the cast that season(except murphy, piscapo and maybe another) were fired at the end of the season.

[djHaQ]

I still thought they broadcast on a delay.

[jackgray18]

He pretty much WAS fired for this joke, actually.

[StephenCreech12]

no... no he didnt. it was most likely because he so often cracked jokes about OJ Simpson and the president Don Omeyer (sp?) was a friend of OJ

[PowerfulDragon]

no, he was fired because he was the best thing about the show.

[armysniperman80]

actually he wasnt, considering he was on the show for 9 more months after this.

[wertytrewqa]

lol

[John966]

OMG!Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111­

[dk212]

haha awesome

[MrNobodysPinealGland]
