The late comedian loved to make Weekend Update jokes about the actor, musician, and brother of Sylvester Stallone.<\/b>
\nSocial media on Tuesday was flooded with tributes to Norm Macdonald, who passed away after a decade-long battle with cancer that he kept private. People honored the comedian by sharing clips. They remembered how he (probably) got fired from SNL for doing too many O.J. Simpson jokes. Seth Rogen admitted that he \u201cessentially ripped off\u201d his deadpan delivery when he was starting out. But one of the most moving tributes came from an unexpected place: You guessed it, Frank Stallone. During his stint as host of Weekend Update, Macdonald would regularly set up an elaborate joke, usually about some calamity, but sometimes for a real accomplishment. And he would blame it on the actor, musician, and brother to Sylvester Stallone. The punchline was always the same: \u201cYou guessed it: Frank Stallone.\u201d Macdonald blamed Sly\u2019s brother for toxic waste in Los Angeles, the mass killing of fish in Maryland, and unemployment downturns in the mid-\u201990s. He also, for the record, once claimed he was the second most powerful person in show business (behind Rupert Murdoch). He did this over and over again, until he left SNL. Sometimes the jokes would get big laughs. Sometimes they\u2019d get confused shrugs. But there was one person who seemed to enjoy it: You guessed it, Frank Stallone. A post shared by Frank Stallone (@frank.stallone) \u201cI was saddened to hear that Norm MacDonald passed away today at 61,\u201d Frank wrote on Instagram. \u201cHe had a lot of fun with me on weekend update with, You Guessed It Frank Stallone. I thought it was funny. My only regret was that I never got to do the show with him. I thought he was an original and very funny. My condolences go out to the MacDonald family.\u201d Meanwhile, as of this writing, O.J. Simpson has yet to weigh in. But you can watch a half-hour of Macdonald O.J. jokes below.
