Former Saturday Night Live writer Tom Davis has died from throat and neck cancer at his home in Hudson, NY. He was 59 years old. RIP Tom Davis (1952-2012) one of the pioneers of NBC's SNL since it was NBC's Saturday Night because the late ABC Sportscaster Howard Cosell already got the SNL title in 1975.
