Don Ohlmeyer was born in 1945. He is a producer and director, known for Liberty Weekend (1986), NFL Monday Night Football (1970) and The Heroes of Desert Storm (1991).
Although he claims to have demoted Norm MacDonald on SNL for being "unfunny," many insiders felt that MacDonald's constant jokes about Ohlmeyer's friend, O.J. Simpson, were the real reason.
