Well, more O.J. Simpson news. On Friday, the Juice officially endorsed Bill Clinton for President, adding, “I’d like to help him any way I can.” To which the President replied, “Well, there is one thing.”

In dramatic testimony this week at his civil trial, O.J. Simpson said he didn’t commit suicide only because, “My mother told me you don’t go to heaven if you kill yourself.” Oddly, his mother did say, “It’s okay to kill other people.”

In a sworn deposition this week, OJ Simpson claimed that he never ever beat, choked, or hit his ex-wife with a closed or open fist. Luckily for OJ, lawyers forgot to ask if he had ever cut her head off.

These jokes are why Norm McDonald is a fantastic comedian. Underappreciated by most people.

OJ said in his new book “i would have jumped in front of a train for Nicole.

Man, that’s bad luck when the one guy who would have died for you, kills you.

In his civil court disposition this week, OJ Simpson denied under oath that he ever punched, kicked, or slapped his ex-wife Nicole... Oh great, as if OJ isn’t busy enough tracking down the real killers, now he’s got to track down the real wife beater too! This guy, it’s crazy!

I would say he's appropriately appreciated.

His time on Saturday Night Live is certainly some of the better days, and he's one of the more underappreciated cast members. But all in all he's had more years of irrelevance than mainstream or even moderate success.

McDonald has some great bits out there, but how come nobody ever talks about anything outside of the OJ jokes if he's a well of hilarity?

That shite is funny. What is also funny are the comments in his twitter post.

The Moth joke? His Letterman performances? The Dirty Johnny Joke? Do you listen to podcasts at all? Everyone has their own Norm story that they can’t shut up about. I saw him do stand-up in person last month, and save for Louis CK it was the funniest performance I’ve ever seen.

Norm is a low-key, understated savage. Top five on my favorite comedians list.

Yeah, I listen to plenty of them.

I would just prefer Norm Macdonald's career highlights be something more than a ESPY hosting gig and played out OJ jokes from 25 years ago. He is very talented, but that seems to be all everybody talks about.

I'm certainly not going to listen to podcasts just just to listen to stories about Norm McDonald.
