Macdonald remained on "SNL" as a cast member, but disliked performing in regular sketches. On February 28, 1998, in one of his last appearances on "SNL", he played the host of a fictitious TV show called "Who's More Grizzled?" who asked questions from "mountain men," played by that night's host Garth Brooks and special guest Robert Duvall. In the sketch, Brooks' character says to Macdonald's character, "I don't much care for you," to which Macdonald replies, "A lot of people don't." Macdonald was dismissed shortly thereafter.
