Norm Macdonald
The Shaggy-Dog Storyteller of Weekend Update Anarchy
I told a joke once. It took an hour. They laughed. Maybe.
They gave me a desk, a camera, and a nation watching. I gave them shaggy dogs, awkward silences, and the occasional, deeply buried laugh. I didn’t rush. I never smiled much. I believed in the story, not the setup. Some called it sabotage. I called it comedy.
What I'm Into: long pauses, O.J. Simpson, baffling the producer's notes, the setup that never lands, stand-up in the back of a van
