Norm MacDonald was removed from Weekend Update in the middle of the 1997-1998 season at the insistence of NBC Executive Don Ohlmeyer, who said MacDonald was "not funny". MacDonald left the show at the end of the season. Rumors spread that Ohlmeyer did not like MacDonald's jokes about O.J. Simpson, who was a friend of Ohlmeyer's. MacDonald has said that he does not believe that was the reason he was fired.
