Our whole community shares in your sorrow, and we hope we can comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time. We are grateful that you shared him with us and with Norwood. While a family always knows a person the best and closest, Bernie is such an important part of so many of our lives and has impacted so many people. To Connie, Sam, Alisha, Josh, Amelia and Michael, we grieve with you in the loss of your husband and father. Bernie means the world to so many of us, and the coming days and months will be hard for all of us. We've lost a wonderful person, a dedicated employee, and I have lost a best friend. When I spoke to John last night, he said his heart was completely broken I think we all share in that immense broken-heartedness. Bernie has been my rock since coming to Norwood, and he was John Carroll's before that. SNL, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Jive, Bad Movie, Podcast, A Night At The Roxbury, Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, Colin Quinn, Molly Shannon, Mark McKinney, Superstore, Lorne Michaels This week on Saturday Night Jive we're talking about an actual SNL movie. I'll miss his smile and his friendly attitude, his advice and his knowledge, but most of all, his good nature - Bernie simply was the absolute best a human being could be. During all of the storms, all of the meetings, the lunches with Tom (McQuaid), Bernie was always there. Calls in the evening, early morning, every weekend and most holidays. From first thing in the morning to walking out to our cars together at night, the number of times we talked and saw each other throughout the day was probably over a hundred. Greg drove to Center Street in West Roxbury and parked behind the Pleasant restaurant.

Bernie and I had become such close friends, attached at the hip six days a week. While many of us will mourn the loss of a colleague and a dedicated public servant, I know I am among many mourning the loss of a beloved friend.

He is everything we know and love about Norwood. Steve and Doug Butabi dream of opening their own club as cool as the Roxbury. Vivica, a gold-digging supermodel, and her friend Cambi try to work the Roxbury Guys for their money, only to find out the pair is broke. He leaves behind Connie and his four children Sam, Alisha, Josh and Amelia and her husband Michael.īernie is the heart and soul of Norwood. The Roxbury Guys, Steve and Doug Butabi, want to get into the best club in town, and also hope to open their own club.

Yet time after time, with the exceptions of features like Wayne’s World and The Blues Brothers, SNL often failed to deliver even mediocre comedies out of their once-glorified skits.The full statement reads: "To All, it is with great sadness that I have to let you know that our friend Bernie Cooper passed away last night. Chicago music producer Carolyn Albritton said she was Bernie Macs first. To the credit of all SNL films, good and bad, these sketches were classics that showed this promise.

Without said fanbase, the film has little influence in proving its saleability to a national movie audience.

The initial requirement for adapting five-minute sketches like It’s Pat, Coneheads or Wayne’s World into feature films is a loyal fanbase. SNL has an interesting history with its sketches-turned-movies. Anyone who wasn’t living in a cave during the mid/late ’90s can recognize the song forever immortalized by Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan’s popular “”Saturday Night Live” skit. Then, the unmistakable song pumps through the speakers: “ What is love? Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more,” Haddaway sings in his emotionally tinged dance hit. The Paramount logo kicks up, followed by the opening credits.
