In a Twitter monologue that gave remarkable insight into what it was like backstage at the all-star SNL 40 special, Norm Macdonald, the former Weekend Update host and the man known as Turd Ferguson, spent two hours and over 100 tweets detailing his experience from the reunion. Macdonald covered everything from writing the “Celebrity Jeopardy” sketch and making amends with Lorne Michaels to taking umbrage with Rolling Stone‘s SNL cast member rankings and, most surprising, trying to recruit Eddie Murphy to portray beleaguered comedian Bill Cosby.
