There have been and will be thousands of threads about him until the end of time. He is a genius.

I think he personally is fascinating, Very smart guy. Gambled or still does. Once said he had basically turned A-Sexual. He's the kind of guy that many books will be written about.

He is a genius. I love that he always stays with the joke.

NM is in my hall of fame if only for one joke. He was doing the SNL Weekend Update in '95 or so and said this, in his matter-of-fact tone of voice and with an incredulous semi-smirk on his face:

"After the OJ Simpson acquittal verdict was announced, Washington DC mayor Marion Berry urged both white Americans and black Americans... To help get him some crack."

Just saw him on Letterman from last Friday. It's awesome.

He actually broke down at the end telling Dave goodbye. Wow.

You should really look up the youtube video with him at the youtube awards a year or two ago. He is so out of place and mocking everyone. It's great.

The reason? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.

His stand up about alcoholism, heart attacks and cancer are some of the funniest things I have ever heard:

Alcoholism

Heart attack

They should have never taken his show off the air.

Supposedly, one of the big reasons he got fired from SNL was that he kept making jokes about OJ on Weekend Update, and the head of NBC was one of OJ's best friends. I quit watching SNL for a long time after he was fired.

He reminds me of Super Dave Osborne.

Norm is the man.

i thought the roast he was on a couple years ago was a little underrated. Forgot who they were roasting.

eta: it was Bog Saget

I can't stand him. And I don't even hate his "brand" of humor as much as I just think he sucks (although I've mellowed on him somewhat over the years). But he is pretty well beloved, both on this site and IRL.

ETA: I can appreciate his always seeming to be brutally honest approach though...I can respect that.

There is only one man funnier. That man is, you guessed it, Frank Stallone.
