Like 3 jokes followed by a CRAZY WACKY GUEST appearance, followed by another crazy wacky guest meant to deflect from the fact that none of their staff or cast members are funny. Norm churned out dozens of jokes week after week, it was remarkable.
I would put a randomly selected compilation of Norm's weekend update jokes against any other standup's body of work. |

There wasn’t much funny about Reagan, either, but Phil Hartman got at least one hilarious sketch out of his impression (the one with the Girl Scout cookie sellers).
Norm MacDonald did a Bob Dole so funny they kept it going after the election.
Darrell Hammond nailed Al Gore.
None of these people were inherently hilarious, the cast was just better and PC hadn’t taken hold. |

Date: February 11th, 2019 11:45 PM Author: Wild razzmatazz parlour Women can certainly be funny in the right forum, although it’s rarer than men. Both of them were excellent on SNL in a variety of sketch settings, and were also both great in their sitcom vehicles.
Not sure either would be quite as amazing at standup, which is really a different kind of humor I think.

Date: February 12th, 2019 10:55 AM Author: Chartreuse rigor home there are plenty of funny women, but they are much, much rarer then men. Adam Carolla's take on this is 180:
"The "are women funny" debate has grown very contentious. You're not worried about reactions to this?
I don't care. When you're picking a basketball team, you'll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you're playing the odds. When it comes to comedy, of course there's Sarah Silverman, Tina Fey, Kathy Griffin – super-funny chicks. But if you're playing the odds? No. If Joy Behar or Sherri Shepherd was a dude, they'd be off TV. They're not funny enough for dudes. What if Roseanne Barr was a dude? Think we'd know who she was? Honestly." |

Date: February 18th, 2019 10:57 AM Author: Canary Nubile Milk It’s basically the test case for “can an impressionist make it as a one tool player?”I’m 100% with you on this, but arguably the show has always made clear that it wanted cast members to be more than great impressionists, see Jay Pharoah. Another way to make the argument is that while Hammond’s Clinton was clealty elite the show would not have missed him that much of Hartmann had lived and done his Clinton through 2001. It’s analogous to closers and kickers/punters getting into the HoF I.e. should be rare. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4199905&forum_id=2#37801517) |

|
Date: February 18th, 2019 11:02 PM Author: Wild razzmatazz parlour I can't even believe we're discussing Jay Pharoah and Hammond in the same breath here.
Pharoah is a one-trick pony they brought on to save Fred Armisen the embarrassment of black-facing to play Obama because they didn't have another skinny black guy in the cast. It's not an accident that his years in the cast are precisely the last 6 of the Obama era.
The sheer diversity of Hammond's impressions, many of which went beyond mere impressions into their own characters (I would argue that his Sean Connery, the absolute star of the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches, meets this standard) put him in his own league. I mean hell, he played Clinton, Gore (absolutely key as the straight man to Will Ferrell's slapstick GWB during the campaign), AND Cheney. The political skits alone put him among the greatest.
If your point is that Jay Pharoah wouldn't deserve to be in a HOF, yes you are correct. He was entirely forgettable and his most memorable character (Obama) is memorable primarily for not actually being a very funny portrayal of the person. |

Date: February 18th, 2019 11:13 PM Author: Mahogany hell clown He also did trump. He is a great impressionist. I just don't hold doing convincing impressions in that high of a regard.

|
Date: February 18th, 2019 11:37 PM Author: Wild razzmatazz parlour It’s not that they’re convincing. It’s that they are hilarious.
They managed to make Pharoah look and sound kinda like Obama but it still sucked because it wasn’t funny. All of Hammond’s impressions are very funny.
We are just 180 degrees off on this, I guess. The Dana Carvey GHWB and Perot impressions are some of his finest work in my view, Norm Macdonald’s wacky Bob Dole was probably the best thing he did outside of Weekend Update (and the best sketch of that recurring character, by the way, involved Norm opposite Hammond as Ted Koppel, whose timing was perfect), and I think GWB is what puts Will Ferrell over the top for SNL GOAT POTUS, too. The impressions, in particular the political impressions, were regularly the best part of the show in the 90s and early 00s, not because they were convincing but because they were very funny. |

Date: February 18th, 2019 11:42 PM Author: Mahogany hell clown I'll try to find some darrel hammond stuff to watch but snl is really proprietary with their shit.
dana carveys impressioms were so hilarious in part because they werent very accurate. he would latch onto something about the person's demeanor and expand it like his george bush. more so he just absolutely killed it in every sketch. his comedic timing and delivery were unmatched. hartman had that too. I'm not gonna trash darrell hammond. rightly or wrongly i just don't hold him in as high a regard. |
|
Date: February 18th, 2019 11:50 PM Author: Wild razzmatazz parlour Just as a case in point, his Clinton is actually funnier AND more accurate than the Phil Hartman Clinton, even though the Phil Hartman Clinton is also rightly very well-remembered.
And he did exactly what you describe to create it, latching onto and using the ridiculous lip bite and thumb point Clinton did occasionally. Hartman imitates the voice (not as well as Hammond) but otherwise is just Phil Hartman dressed as the President. The “Warlords” sketch is probably Hartman’s best Clinton, and he’s great in it, but it’s funny mostly for the writing. |

Date: February 18th, 2019 1:43 PM Author: Canary Nubile Milk Lol at “Late Night was pretty cool.” This is how most people think about Conan, but it just shows how vastly underrated he will always be. People will also say “oh yeah the weird ginger potato nigger who couldn’t hack it on the Tonight Show.” But no matter what else he does Late Night is the first line of his CV. Letterman’s slow dissolution into irrelevance plus Leno building the ultimate nerf ball of comedy meant that Conan was the leading Late Night engine of comedic ideas (i.e. the most important comedy job on the planet) for almost a decade. It took until the Jon Stewart Daily Show came along and even that took until essentially 9/11 before anyone else came along to offer up an alternative. Not to mention giving people like Louis CK their first big jobs, and how well he collaborated with and showcased tons of other talents like Smigel. Conan at 1130 during the 90s was the longest stretch of that level of quality with those resources and at that volume of content that we have ever seen or will ever see in our lifetimes. He’s like the Andy Reid of comedy—always been physically repulsive and beta in a weird way that held him back from being recognized as the king, but he’s been this comedy nerd idol for 25 years.

Date: February 12th, 2019 2:32 PM Author: Hairraiser parlor fanboi ’s just been brought to my attention that, while they were Harvard undergraduates, Jeff Zucker ’86 called the cops on Conan O’Brien ’85. (I never saw previous reports about this.) According to articles in both the Harvard Crimson and Yale Daily News, handcuffsZucker, then president of the university’s Harvard Crimson daily newspaper, dispatched the police to the Harvard Lampoon office after O’Brien, who was president of the campus humor magazine, organized a prank on his college rival — stealing an entire print run of the Crimson before it could be distributed. “He only forgave me when I gave him The Tonight Show,” Zucker told a Yale gathering back in 2005. The Harvard Crimson described the incident this way in a 2004 article about Conan landing The Tonight Show courtesy of Zucker: “O’Brien cut his teeth in comedy as president of The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. In fact, O’Brien first met Zucker, his current boss, one day when O’Brien and the Lampoon editors stole all the copies of that morning’s Crimson. Zucker, then Crimson President, called the police and met O’Brien face to face while he was being arrested.” In 2001, Conan told The New Yorker this about the incident: “College pranks are supposed to be clever, but our rivalry with the Crimson had degenerated into us stealing something, Jeff calling the police, and the police making us haul it back,” said O’Brien. (Other Lampoon pranks on Zucker included “a fake phone-sex ad with Zucker’s dorm-room phone number. Zucker did not find any of this particularly hilarious.”) So what’s to glean from this Harvard history lesson? Yes, Jeff Zucker was a thin-skinned prick who didn’t understand comedy or know how to handle creatives even back then. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4199905&forum_id=2#37770614) |
