Not a huge surprise. I had his odds of being fired at 2-1 two months ago. In fact, my spellcheck still hadn’t learned whether it was one Es or two Es, and my spellcheck knows how to spell Dave Kneebone, a producer on Nathan for You.

Had a blast and loved every second of it. I'm totally honored to be able to make this next joke… FIRED FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!
