Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Norm MacDonald mercilessly trolled new MSNBC host Ronan Farrow on Twitter earlier this morning.
@RonanFarrow What? Is that a joke? Are you sure you’re Woody Allen’s son? Oh, that’s right. You’re not.

Farrow, whose MSNBC show is slated to launch in 2014, is the 25-year-old son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, though it was floated earlier this year that his real father may be Frank Sinatra. MacDonald continued his roast.
@RonanFarrow I don’t understand. why would one be better than the other. Seems like a highly racist remark, but I’m sure it was unintended. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) December 2, 2013
@RonanFarrow Brevity is the soul of wit. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) December 2, 2013
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, Farrow decided to let his left-wing freak flag fly. MacDonald made him pay for it.
@RonanFarrow It would indeed prove awkward, apologizing to a bunch of slaughtered people. I thought you went to a fancy school or something?

@RonanFarrow Next time just say 400 years. That way the writer does not intrude upon the writing, son.

MacDonald refused to let up on the alleged wunderkind, who graduated college at 15, Yale Law School at 21 and was named a Rhodes Scholar at 23.
@RonanFarrow Do yourself a favor and run these by Woody.

@RonanFarrow @FranFineJr @peoplemag Or maybe you’re angling to bump Bill Clinton off its Sexiest Humblebragger Alive issue.(its, not their).

@RonanFarrow Finally, someone has the courage to say something that has been said a billion times.

@RonanFarrow You make an excellent point of how are society overlooks the important to focus on vapid beautiful celebrities.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) December 2, 2013
@RonanFarrow Seriously, please stay away from Freddy Roman.
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) December 2, 2013
Ronan didn’t take the assault sitting down.
@normmacdonald Is that what happened to “Norm”?
— Ronan Farrow (@RonanFarrow) December 2, 2013
He even had one funny retort.
@normmacdonald Still a fan, despite your best efforts. Loved you on Conan in 1997.
