comment, as the comedian was reportedly fired from the show. Viewers took to Twitter to accuse Michaels of acting insincerely. “Issa Rae mouthing ‘didn’t he fire him?’ when Lorne Michaels brought up Norm Macdonald lmaoooooooo,” one Twitter user wrote. “Lorne Michaels on Norm Macdonald: One of the best we ever had.

Others talked about how Michaels supposedly fired Macdonald. “And Norm was so great you let the network fire him, you hypocritical little weasel, Lorne Michaels,” one wrote. “So SNL Lorne Michaels pays tribute to NormMcDonald [sic] as one of the best comedians. Thanks, Lorne, since you told Norm he wasn’t funny and fired him,” a second tweeted. “Lorne Michaels acknowledged Norm’s contribution to SNL. Norm probably just chuckled knowing the guy who fired you had to admit you were an asset to the company,” a third penned.

Of course, it’s important to point out that, during a 1998 interview, Macdonald denied Michaels fired him. Instead, reportedly, the late NBC exec, Don Ohlmeyer, was responsible.
