Will have to watch this.
Wonder if they'll get into real life facts and family, or if it will mostly be comedians saying what they remember about him.

That Count Choclula line is great.

I think I miss Norm and Ozzy the most.

I've been waiting for a Norm doc. I'm surprised it took this long. I'd've figgered Canadian TV would've done one by now. They usually do a doc on anyone who has the slightest connection to Canada.
There is a guy researching a Norm bio who has uncovered some unpleasant stories: stealing material, using people/making promises then tossing them aside and walking over their bodies on his march to success... The usual show biz.

He was pretty notorious for blowing people off after saying “sure, sounds good.” But I think we now know that had a lot to do with trying to keep his health situation secret, and not giving people explanations for why he no-showed or went radio silent.
Not sure about joke stealing, but he definitely loved recycling old timey material.

One friendship allegedly ended after he used the guy's joke on Letterman w/o permission and w/o giving credit
quote:the guy who helped him prepare his SNL audition says he was promised chances to submit his material and general recommendations from Norm. After the audition... silence.

After he died, I did a deep dive and found a Canadian newspaper article from about that time that said he had taken a year or more hiatus from standup. Think it was stomach cancer.
I’ll look later and see if I can find it.

I'll probably delete this later with 1000 downvotes, but I'm guessing they won't mention the multiple allegations of sexual harassment or the comedy clubs with rules about not leaving Norm alone with female employees. "They were lying!" Yeah, women love destroying their careers over lies. He's a genius talent, but I'm sick of all my heroes turning out like this.

9/11 was a national tragedy.

Wow. The worst part of now knowing this is the hypocrisy.

All that shite came out after he died, which is why I think it is all clout farming
He was never a powerful guy on the comedy scene.. .and he was off the circuit for years, until Hitler's Dog
There was no reason to refrain from going public, other than you were waiting until he couldn't defend himself

You're not wrong. But I'm not mad at them either.
Norm stories are amazing

I wonder if he ever hit on Laura Kightlinger? If you don't know her she was on SNL in the '90s. She gave an interview saying she didn't like Norm and that for fun he'd start arguments between the cast members. I don't know her from SNL, but I remember as a standup comedienne from a few years earlier. I always thought she was kinda hot.
