Norm McDonald Fought an Intern
The Canadian humorist Norm McDonald graced the halls of Saturday Night Live from 1993-1999, a period filled with laughter and memorable antics. One such instance involved a spirited game of hallway soccer with the then-intern, Wyatt Cenac, a promising comedian and writer. The game took a hilarious turn when Cenac inadvertently kicked McDonald, prompting an uproarious reaction from the seasoned comedian.
In a lively exchange with Stephen Colbert, Wayne Cenac recounted his bizarre soccer experience. “Imagine this,” he began, his eyes twinkling with mischief, “this guy just latches onto me and attempts to hurl me across the room!” He chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. “Clearly, he’s unfamiliar with the basic rules of soccer. So, I had to retaliate and push him off me to restore some semblance of normalcy to the game.”
