(7,817 posts)On SNL. I remember in junior high kids talking about it. Of course he did "the news", but his imitation of JF was so over-the-top slapstick and it just had an electric vibe at the time. Of course, 'Caddyshack' and then 'National Lampoon's Vacation' put him in the top tier. Temporarily of course. He is insufferable.

I'm surprised they're doing a special about him. He doesn't seem to warrant it.

(6,385 posts)Yep, he has been a jerk. But not all the time. He was sometimes brilliant. He was such a layered character in Community. With all the offensiveness, there was always a wisp of vulnerability. I think it will be worth watching.
