Comedy veteran Norm Macdonald revealed a hysterical story about Milwaukee Brewers' legendary announcer Bob Uecker and John Fogerty on an episode of "Late Show with David Letterman" in 2009.

Macdonald also added that he was best friends with Uecker while citing one particular incident between the pair and the American musician Fogerty. He said:

"Bob is a very very funny man and I often go to the booth with him. One time we were there and John Fogerty was in the house... So, Bob Ueker is a very interesting guy. He thinks that everybody is the same. He doesn't think of people as stars or anything like that."

Macdonald continued:

"So, he was talking to me and he's like, 'You know that guy? That's John Fogerty, rock and roll singer. I played in a golf tournament with him. You probably think of him as some ****** that likes to bite the heads of chickens. But, this guy can get it out of the sandtrap like nobody's f****** business."

Uecker is a former American Major League Baseball player and has served as a play-by-play announcer for Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcasts since 1971. For his contributions, he was honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 in recognition of his broadcasting career.

Unfortunately, Macdonald passed away last year after a nine-year private battle with cancer. He was a cast member of SNL from 1993-98. He was best known for his three seasons as the "Weekend Update" co-anchor.
