This was a weirdly memorable moment for me in my SNL watching years- the replacement of Norm MacDonald with Colin Quinn.  I often paraphrase this introduction Quinn delivered to friends when there is some big change in life.  Not to mention I still am a big fan of Colin Quinn and all things CQ; Tough Crowd!-   Cheers.
 You know how you go to your favorite bar, and your local bartender isn’t there? You ask, “Where’s Jeff?” “Jeff no longer works here, I’m Steve.” And you’re thinking, “Hey, who’sthis idiot? I like Jeff.” But you still want your drink? And even though Steve doesn’t mix your drink the same way you’re used to, like Jeff, you still like the same bar, you don’t want to have to go to a different bar. And even Steve might feel kinda bad because Jeff trained him. Jeff showed him how to work the cash register, where the tonic was on the soda gun, who tips, who doesn’t….Well…I’m Steve. What can I get you?
