Rumor was he was canned from SNL for going after president clinton too much.He was actually "asked to resign" from SNL because OJ Simpson (a frequent Norm Target) was good buddies with a few of the NBC execs. Remember, Clinton bashing never got someone fired. It got them audited, investigated, and eventually killed.

Rumor was he was canned from SNL for going after president clinton too much.That was no rumor. He publicly called out O.J. Simpson on National TV regularly during the trial,and the President of NBC (who happened to be a personal friend with the murderer) took a big chunk out of Lorne Michaels ear and said "you do something about that guy",the rest is history. Someday, something horrible will happen to that guy,whateverhisnamewas for, as we say 'marginalizing' him, that type of behavior always comes back to get you eventually.

SNL has sucked for years, now that Hartman, Farley, Sandler, Nealon and GE Smith and his band are gone. Norm was the last really funny, really enjoyable member of the cast, and now the show just completely sucks. I haven't watched it since he was canned. Welcome aboard, Norm! Glad to have ya.

I hadn't heard that, but wouldn't be suprised at it.
What I do recollect is that he did loose a few blasts at Bill Clinton.
And I saw him on Leno's show this week.
He spent a lot of time talking about looking after his 10-year old son...
sounded like Mr. Suburban Dad trying to do the right thing...
and he was really funny (well, at least to me!)

"....canned from SNL for going after president clinton too much."
I think so too, but I remember his last gig on SNL's "news" when he did a report/joke on Flight 800.
Went something like this: "....Mean while, here in New York, the NTSB has found the definitive cause of the crash of Flight 800...............It was a freakin' missle".
