We all remember when Norm MacDonald was fired from Saturday Night Live in 1997 after making too many “O.J. Simpson is guilty” and “Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile” jokes. But it's not like that killed his career or anything. He went on to star in such hits as, ahem, Dirty Work, and then voiced a talking animal in Dr. Dolittle 1, 2, and 3.

Oh, well. The guy's deadpan sarcasm is still funny and he'll certainly bring some laughs to the Tempe Improv.
