You probably know Ian Maxtone-Graham as the villain from all those articles about what the fuck happened to The Simpsons to make it suck so bad. Well, apparently he used to write for Saturday Night Live... with Norm MacDonald!

In December, Ian Maxtone-Graham, a self-described anti-smoking zealot, complained about Norm MacDonald’s lighting up in the writers’ room. MacDonald shrugged it off. So Maxtone-Graham extinguished the cigarette by squirting MacDonald in the face with a water pistol. MacDonald punched Maxtone-Graham in the head, knocking him to the floor.
Awesome. Here's one about Laura Kightlinger:
New York Magazine, March 13th, 1995 wrote:
The show hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker, in November, included a song contrasting love’s higher and lower impulses. Michael McKean sang chastely to Parker, plunking an acoustic guitar; then Sandler cranked up his electric guitar to underscore sophomoric lines like “I’m gonna give ya the wood!”
During rewrites of the piece, Kightlinger jokingly suggested to the group that the song be made even more explicit—and found herself the target of a crude barrage. “A couple of them turned on her,” says a close friend of Kightlinger’s, “with these really vicious, mean sexual things. . . . She’s one of the strongest people I know. Very tough to faze. And it made her cry.”
That's pretty good, but imagine how much better it would be if she were crying because Norm MacDonald punched her in the head. |
