I've seen this bit a million times. I have laughed -- hard -- at it a million times. And I'll laugh the next million times. ("What did I just say about ethnic slurs?")
What did Burt Reynolds think of the way Norm Macdonald portrayed him in SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy" bits? So says The Wrap:
According to a 2007 TV Guide interview, Macdonald revealed that Reynolds loved his impersonation and they had even planned to include him in a “Celebrity Jeopardy” sketch. The plan was to have the real Reynolds show up and knock out Macdonald, taking over as contestant. Unfortunately for Trebek, the real Reynolds’ responses would be even stupider. Sadly, Macdonald was dismissed from “SNL” before the sketch could be done.
