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.

Anyway, totally worth it for this joke.

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!

According to my calculations, announcements on John Milhiser and Noel Wells will probably be next.
