Norm MacDonald, the original gangster SNL Weekend Update anchor who shared the screen with Chris Farley and talked a bit about him on the new Chris Farley biography, is back on the comedy circuit doing standup. "I’m somewhere every week, but I can’t remember the exact dates," he said. "It would take me a full five minutes to tell you that." MacDonald told us he loves TV and watches 16 hours a day. Here's his list
All Time Favorite Shows:
1. Fawlty Towers is my favorite because it’s the funniest one.
2. The British version of The Office is my second favorite because that’s the second funniest.
3. The Honeymooners because that’s the best American sitcom.
4. Sargeant Bilco or You’ll Never Get Rich because that’s the best show.
5. I never really thought it through past number 4…
The Best Show He's Never Seen
The Sopranos: I’ve never seen the show. It kept going but I didn’t want to see it in the middle.
Most Under-Rated Show:
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew: I love that show. Listen, I’ll be honest, I’ve auditioned for that show over and over again. I don’t know how much goddamn Oxycontin you have to eat to be on that thing. And, I really like Jeff Conway…I think he’s the most explosive performer on TV today.
