One of my favorites. He could literally make me laugh without saying a word. Just the anticipation of what he was going to say was good enough

Discovering Weekend Update with Norm set me on a path. I'm not sure what kind of path, but it set me on it. I'm really bummed out. He was one of the very best.

I swear to God that duffel bag joke is my favorite one ever. I could watch it over and over.

It's so simple but so brilliant in the delivery.

He made it look so easy. Every time he would pause, you knew something good was coming.

The pace of his delivery was incredible. I've been listening to his stuff ever since I saw this news.

You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don't care for him.

Same man. Not only one of the best, and I guess this goes hand in hand with that, but one of the most truly unique. He was one of the rare folks who had a 100% universal approval rating it seems like. Well, except for badrogue, who needs revenge for being born.

Norm was just fearless. I love the gay son joke he had. Funny no matter who he pissed off.

Big agree. People say he was fearless but he never beat George Floyd jokes into the dirt.

He was what Andy Kaufman would have been if Kaufman was funny.

He was a great social commenter as well and he did it with subtlety. He might be tweaking you and you wouldn't even recognize it.

Big, bad gambler. I imagine he and Artie Lange made some bookies and drug dealers very wealthy.

He seemed almost like a slow adult in his delivery, which made it funnier.

I would have sworn I watched that last show, and that it ended with the freakin' Foo Fighters. What am I misremembering?

Norm was something else that night, for sure.

"B-O-R-E-D"

Credit to Smith as well. Maybe she didn't totally play along, but she didn't turn it into Marc Summer vs Burt Reynolds either.

She did an interview today about it saying it was the greatest interview she was ever involved in.

She loved every minute of it.

I did this joke in which I showed that picture of the girl running away from napalm in Vietnam. I said, “In gossip news, Woody Allen’s dating again.” Lorne told me not to do it, and I told him he was wrong, that people would like it. Then I did it in dress rehearsal and there was this insane audience reaction that went on for two minutes: hate. I was completely wrong.
