RIP Norm. You were one of the great comedians of the last 30 years. You were never afraid to tell it like it is, even when it cost you your job on SNL.

As someone who had successful cancer surgery yesterday this hits deep. It just reinforces how fleeting life is. I didn’t know he had been battling cancer for 9 years. I bet he was taking Prednisone steroid which would explain why his face got so puffy the last few years.

RIP Norm, you were one of the greats.
His intentional bombing at the 1997 White House Correspondents Dinner was comedic gold.

I hate to hear that. He was so weird (in a nice way) and quick witted in his delivery. I really liked him. RIP

I loved all of his stuff. I quote his routines about wiener dogs often.
( going from memory )
“Yeah, a wiener dog can rip your throat out. Of course you would have to be laying on the floor and it would take it a couple of weeks.”

Truly sad news. One of the best comedians of all time.

Yes, his pointing out that Michael Jackson was a homosexual pedophile was the beginning of the end for Norm. And he did this ruthlessly.
Also his “gay” jokes were funny AND to the truthful point. Look up his bit on “gay pride” if you want an example.

On Dennis Miller’s show, that was great.
He has good clips on Conan as well.

Apparently he had a long battle with cancer but he never wanted it to interfere with his comedy while the battle was going on.
