20th Century Time Machine | Norm Macdonald Encourages Clinton to Inhale Medical Marijuana (1997) @20thCenturyTimeMachine | Uploaded September 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
President Bill Clinton was using a pair of crutches at the 1997 White House Correspondents Dinner, having undergone surgery the month before to reconnect a torn tendon in his right knee. Norm MacDonald, then Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update anchor, started bumpily but eventually won the crowd over.
MacDonald used the president's hobbled state to great comic effect, commenting, “You are handicapped and the President of the United States. You must have an unbelievable parking spot!” and encouraging Clinton to inhale medical marijuana: “It’s the only way you’re going to get better!” Other highlights: When he announced that guest Martha Stewart was “going to show us how to take those discarded fish bones and make a beautiful birdhouse,” and explained that no-show Al Gore had “broke down and they had to leave him in the shop.”
