On March 27, 2010 at 7 p.m. former Saturday night live cast member Norm MacDonald will perform at Miami University Middletown. Macdonald joined the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL) television program in 1993, where he performed impressions of Larry King, Burt Reynolds, David Letterman, Charles Kuralt, and Bob Dole, among others. Following Kevin Nealon's departure from SNL, Macdonald anchored the segment Weekend Update. Chevy Chase, the first anchor of Weekend Update, has opined that Macdonald is the only anchor since his own tenure to have "done it right". Macdonald's time with Saturday Night Live effectively ended in late 1997, when he was fired from the Weekend Update segment upon the insistence of NBC West Coast Executive Don Ohlmeyer, who pressured the producers to remove him, explaining that Macdonald was "not funny." Some believe that Don Ohlmeyer's friendship with O.J. Simpson — a celebrity whom Macdonald often antagonized on the show — may have fueled Ohlmeyer's decision. MacDonald’s Celebrity impersonations include: Al Michaels Andy Rooney Alan Driscoll Allen Funt (as his character Todd Deal) Barry Scheck Bill Cosby Bob Dole Burt Reynolds Charles Kuralt Clint Eastwood Craig Reid from The Proclaimers David Letterman Dr. Jack Kevorkian Flea George Burns John Gray Juan Peron Slim Pickens Larry King Lou Gehrig Marv Albert Michael Richards Quentin Tarantino Rod Serling Rowan Atkinson (as his character Mr. Bean) Burton Gilliam, though erroneously referred to as Slim Pickens Tommy Lee |

This should be a hilarious(but pricey) evening.
HOWEVER
Once again, MU-M has scheduled their artist series on the SAME NIGHT that the John Cowan Band and the Qeebe Sisters play to a sold-out house as part of the extremely successful MU-H artist series.
This is like the third or fourth consecutive time for this to happen. Prior, it had been with the same genre of music at both locations, with MU-M suffering because most followers are season ticket holders to the
MU-H series.
My wife and I would love to see the SNL star(and my wife may do so), however I already have season tickets for MU-H, and the Cowan Band shows are legendary.
Hopefully these two series will be synchronized next year under one leadership. This would eliminate the un-necessary competition and bolster the local attendance.
