'Quite a week': Norm Macdonald delivers amazing memoir of SNL anniversary

Comedian Norm Macdonald is the quintessential story teller. Anyone who has seen him as a guest on one of the late night talk shows knows this. Tonight he recounted his week helping to write sketches for the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special. Norm’s stories have a rhythm which meshed perfectly with the 140 character Twitter format.

This post is longer than most you’ll read here at Twitchy because it was hard to weed anything out of what was really a beautiful stream of prose. Still it is somewhat abridged, so visit Norm’s Twitter page to fill in the blanks.

If you love SNL, you must follow @normmacdonald tonite – there is something pretty incredible happening there. Started two hours or so ago
