 Norm died today after a private battle with cancer. He was 61. Sad news; he was one of my favorite comedians.

Dang, I remember Norm from The Middle and watching Fairly Odd Parents as a kid. He was pretty good in both those shows. Rest in peace.

:) Needs more... :sombrero: Not quite... :bigass: Perfect.

RIP to a great comedian. I remember his classic SNL sketches and of course doing voiceover in Fairly Oddparents.

This was shocking and sad; I loved him on the Weekend Update.

He got fired from Weekend Update because he wouldn't stop doing OJ jokes and NBC's president was a good friend of OJ's.

I knew him as the voice of Yaphit from The Orville.  There's definitely a piece missing now!

Another iconic Norm moment. For the roast of Bob Saget, he went on stage and told some harmless 1940s-era jokes.

I think this was peak Norm. Ostensibly bad jokes, but they work on a level only a comedy master could achieve–a true comedian's comedian.

I learned so much from him... 

"Most men will go farther to give advice than to follow their own opinion."
"Proper respect to others is the most prudent rule of directing the measure of reverence due to ourselves."
"Germans love David Hasselhoff."

(So long, Norm, you were definitely one of the good guys.)
...and then the psychiatrist chuckled.

He was hilarious as Burt Reynolds on the SNL version of Celebrity Jeopardy!

Uhhhh....that's not my name, Alex.

"Hitler... you know, the more I read about that guy, the more I don't care for him."

Also: hard to believe he was doing KFC commercials. It sounds made up.

One of the all-time comedic takedowns. (trigger warning: use of the R word, though that’s not the punchline or even related to it)
