    Goddammit. Fuck cancer.

    Still the best late night interview I’ve ever seen.

    Oh no. Loved him on SNL. Me and a friend have been trading Norm's lines as Larry King in USA Today's "News and Views" for 25 years.

    This immediately comes to mind when I think of Norm.



    Of course, VERY NSFW and very un-PC.

    He was never my cup of tea, but that is terrible news. And 61 isn't that old anymore.

    I also think he got a raw deal getting kicked off Weekend Update because Ohlmeyer didn't like his OJ jokes.

    Wow, RIP. Always made me laugh hard.

    Not sure it holds up, but 16-year-old Pilot thought “Dirty Work” was the height of comedy for awhile.
