Still has a Covid-19 "official information" label on it. Stay classy, Youtube

A warped, witty and brilliant mind.
Godspeed Norm.
Check out his last performance on Letterman. It’s toward the beginning.
And his time on the Conan O’Brien show were not miss TV.

He went after the Clintons, especially Hillary on mainstream TV constantly. Its why he got fired from SNL, he refused to let go of that bone.

Also a chick I know from Kailua lived in LA for a few years said he came up to her and asked point blank 'How much money would you need to sleep with me? Just kidding ... Sorry Bad Joke ... but how much money would it take? Just pick a number you would be comfortable with ... just kidding ... I do have quite a bit of money on me right now, you dont have to answer this second ...just kidding .. you can think about for a few minutes ..."

she said she because of his famous dry delivery she couldnt figure out if she was actually being propositioned or if he was just messing with her, she was pretty stunned and didnt say anything.

We need more politically incorrect humor in the world.

Nothing beats the wife jokes.



In retrospect, we all get married for respectability, i.e., to be a conformist. Nobody ever warns you about it being comparable to being in prison, at times.

Just showed the wife Celebrity Jeopardy.  Then stumbled onto Black Jeopardy which is pretty funny.  Not as good, but still gave laughs. I really stopped watching SNL when all the greats left, pretty much early 2000s.

Yup
SNL is pretty junk now. The guys that do the weekend report are super lame.  Most of the skits are useless.
I don't know anybody that likes the woke SNL.

I don’t know.
When they swap jokes it’s pretty funny. To me.



Not like Norm though.

Sometimes SNL is funny, especially when the guest is good and helps to write the skits.

Yup.
Some surprise you and are hilarious.
Some are wet rags.
SNL is a slot machine.
I still watch it every week when it’s in season though.

But there won’t be another Norm.



I had a disagreement with the management over there at the NBC.
I wanted to keep my job.
And they felt the exact opposite.
…
How did I suddenly get so god damn funny.

Norm opening monologue hosting SNL year and a half after he got fired from SNL.
A classic Norm.
