By 1984, he spent four months opening for the comedian Sam Kinison. His sense of humor sometimes got him in hot water. A 2018 article about him said “The dedicated fan will identify two patterns in his television work: It is invariably funny, and it is invariably canceled.” He became familiar to millions as the Weekend Update anchor on “night-live-season-premiere.html">Saturday Night Live” from 1994 to 1998. Today’s dead celebrity is Norm Macdonald.
