No better way to do comedy," (viaThe New York Times).

Considering Macdonald had been fired from SNL in 1998, Twitter was quick to point out the hypocrisy.

Anothertweeted, “This was terrific to see.

Maybe Lorne is finally regretting that horrible decision.”

And yet anotherTwitteruser wrote, “The guy you fired?

Anothertweeted, “Lorne Michaels pays tribute to [Norm Macdonald] as one of the best comedians.

Thanks Lorne since you told Norm he wasn’t funny and fired him.”
