I think of all the SNL people, Norm fascinates me the most. He is always funny and doesn't play down to the room. You either get it or you don't. Sometimes it's low brow stupid humor and other times you wonder how he comes up with it. But he is funny as hell and his unique storytelling makes him stand out.
Norm also didn't give a frick and was the one guy Lorne couldn't control. The one joke that Lorne had to revoke from Norm putting on the air was Norm starting off with a picture of naked Vietnamese children running from a napalm blast, and then Norm says "In other news, Woody Allen is dating again."

I saw Norm MacDonald and Kevin Nealon in Springfield, MO last year. It was without a doubt the funniest comedic performance I've ever seen!
Kevin Nealon was just flat out funny. There wasn't a moment when Kevin was onstage that you weren't laughing.
When Norm came on stage, he didn't start off well. Or, rather, many people in the crowd weren't familiar with his routine. He seemed like he was drunk or on drugs (or both). He was slurring a LOT and wasn't making sense.
However, about 5 or 10 minutes into his routine, the entire place was cracking up and the laughter never ended. Many people just had to take 5 or 10 people to figure him out.
At the end, both he and Kevin came onstage together, sat in chairs, and took questions from the crowd. This was unscripted. And, it ended up being more funny than their individual routines. They were playing off each other, razzing each other, razzing the crowd, talking about their SNL experience, making fun of Chris Kattan (apparently they think he's gay and don't like him because he was a punk), they deftly glossed over Chris Farley's death (the one moment they got serious), etc.
They hit the ball out of the park when they were onstage together. It was as if magic was happening. It was like having a mini-SNL backstage pass, or like watching an audition.
Highly recommend their tour.
