I would have preferred more, too - although I wondered whether if they paid tribute to Pardo that night, they might have felt compelled to use up time paying tribute to lead camera operator Barry Frischer, who also died during the summer. And once you bring up crew members, that kind of opens the floodgates. As for Norm MacDonald, let's not forget that he guest hosted the show less than two years after he was fired, and that he was interviewed on the retrospective specials, so it looks like he's isn't holding a grudge. And hey, it's been almost twenty years, so if he were still holding a grudge, I'd be worried for him. -Tim
