Norm Macdonald, in an interview with Time Out New York, says that when he was hosting "SNL's" "Weekend Update" segment he once almost got away with a joke that featured the famous war photo of a naked Vietnamese girl running for her life after a napalm attack. His plan was to show the photo and say, "Woody Allen is dating again."
"We did it in dress rehearsal, and... they didn't boo, but there was this noise, like shock, for literally 30 seconds," says Macdonald. "They couldn't believe it. And then I tried to explain that the lady was fine, because now she's living in New Jersey somewhere. They really hated it."
