    I haven’t even thought about Norm Crosby since what?
Maybe not since the GHWB (Poppy) Administration.
He was fun in an understated way.

    Long life. Great and wonderful man. Picked a helluva time to leave. Say hi to Jerry for me.

    His schtick of butchering language was hilarious. I might have to look for some old videos of him.

RIP Norm

    In his honor, I will be reading those two great ancient poems, The Idiot and The Ostrich.

Yes, sad.   But it was joyful that you made that very appropriate tribute.   RIP to a clever man.

    I remember him from Carson and Dean Martin’s roasts. Very funny.

    His schtick of butchering language was hilarious. Now everybody does it, it's exacerbating...

Comedy from back when you could be funny without throwing around the F-word and hating on your political enemies.

    Saw him in When Jews We’re Funny, hadn’t seen him since the 70s, was horrified at the change. That’ll happen when you haven’t seen someone in a long long while.

    I was watching an Adam-12 episode a while back that he was on. He played a philandering jewelry salesman on a 4 hour sales call at the home of a married woman. Said woman’s husband filled Crosby’s brand new convertible with concrete.
