   Indeed he did.  You know, I never saw it as being "in character" when   
   he'd stumble over the lines; I always thought it was Kevin Nealon having   
   trouble reading the cue cards/Teleprompter/whatever.  I never liked him   
   as the "Weekend Update" anchor because of that -- if his delivery had   
   been more like that of a typical anchorman, though, he would have been   
   perfect.  (Hence, I'm hoping Chris Parnell ends up being Tina Fey's   
   replacement in this coming "SNL" season.)
