Pete Davidson wore a t-shirt emblazoned with the late comedian's face as the show aired a highlight reel of some of the former 'Update' anchor's best jokes.
Jost continued, “Norm was the reason that I ever wanted to do ‘Weekend Update.’ So tonight we thought we’d turn the last few jokes of ‘Update’ over to Norm.”
Opening with “this is the fake news,” Macdonald offered jokes about about former President Bill Clinton’s views on same-sex marriages , the O.J. Simpson trial and other topics before concluding with “that’s the way it is folks…goodnight and good luck.”
