Editing Weekend Update (section)

====Colin Quinn (1998–2000)====
Macdonald was replaced by [[Colin Quinn]], who started on the first episode after Macdonald had been removed and served through the 1999–2000 season. His first edition of ''Weekend Update'' began with "Have you ever gone to a bar and found that your favorite bartender was replaced with a guy named Steve?" He would pause for a beat before continuing, "Well, I'm Steve; what can I get you?" His sign-off, borrowing from a [[Collin Raye]] song, was "I'm Colin Quinn, [[That's My Story (song)|that's my story and I'm sticking to it!]]"

For the first half of the 1998–1999 season, Quinn would do a pre-desk monologue, where he would provide commentary and rant about the week's biggest news stories. This feature was discontinued after the January 16, 1999, episode.

Quinn stepped down from ''Weekend Update'' after 1999–2000, when he left ''SNL'' at the end of the season. He anchored the segment for two-and-a-half seasons.
