Watch Colin Jost and Michael Che pay tribute to former Weekend Update anchor Norm Macdonald on SNL's season premiere.
Following jokes about the R. Kelly trial, the Met Gala and a masturbating chimpanzee, Che and Jost devoted the final minute of the segment to vintage Macdonald clips: zingers about President Clinton’s marriage, a poorly planned airport and a French building-climber known as the “Snakeman.” But it was Macdonald’s favorite target that wrapped up the homage — a barb about O.J. Simpson.
“It is a bittersweet night for us tonight,” Jost said to introduce the tribute. “Norm is the reason that I ever wanted to do Weekend Update and so tonight we thought we’d turn the last few jokes of Update over to Norm.”
