Ping. I always liked Norm. He is a funny guy. Kind of like Dennis Miller and Denis Leary.

I love Norm. He wouldn't kow-tow to NBC about O.J.'s guilt, either.
Norm rocks.

Me too, always always liked him. :)

Norm does not seem to pull any punches. His punch lines on SNL would draw a number of oohs and ahhs, but they were quite funny and to the point.
Love that guy's humor.

Rumor was he was canned from SNL for going after president clinton too much.

Anyone else noticing that the first people BRAVE enough to say publicly that they are Republicans are the comedians?
And the smart comedians at that?
I just find it interesting.
Anyone know if Denis Leary is a Republican as well?
To: Lost Highway
LMAO!

More Norm:
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a1417874830.htm From the thread:
In answer to initial question upon introduction said something like "I'm sure [or, I hope] the Democrats will manage to steal this election from the winner."
In response to "Oh you like George Bush don't you?" he responds "yeah, I think he's a decent man."
Continues that we need new blood in White House with a comment to the effect that "We've got to get the murderers out of the White House."
One of the View is aghast and he responds, "C'mon, Clinton ... he killed a guy, you never heard that?"
When Babs Walter told him under no uncertain terms that this was live and not the place to make such accusations and he could not speak thus, he came back with: "Oh, all right, manslaughter, how about that?"
All women were furious and began insulting him ... joking how his career was over, he'd po'd all three, he'd never be on the show again, etc. and he finally shook his head, looked at the camera and said something like: "Man, everyone always told me that Hollywood was leftist liberal place ... I don't know where they got that idea. I guess that's just not true."

I love Norm McDonald. I remember seeing him on Letterman years ago and he spoke about being fired from SNL because the president of NBC (the name Ebersole comes to mind but not sure)was great friends with OJ Simpson and the NBC president thought Norm was being to brutal to him so he was fired.

He ain't the only Canadian starting to feel this way. Maybe I'll request refugee status at the border. You guys do take Christian, white, male heterosexuals in don't you? Cuz Canada sure doesn't anymore.

It's actually MacDonald, not McDonald.
To: I_Love_My_Husband
Anyone know if Denis Leary is a Republican as well?I believe he is a libertarian.
To: flashbunny
Thought so, but didn't do the IMDB check.

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.
