I’m devastated. Norm was a fantastic person and so funny. A master.

By sheer coincidence, I happened to watch several hours of his SNL weekend updates yesterday, including the one that got him fired.

Oh no, I hadn’t heard that. Damn. Is that his quote about “cis”? I didn’t know he weighed in on it either!

Must look for that one. I read Darrell Hammond's book, devastating.

He had to be a funny man to survive his ***t*** of a brother. Thanks Norm. Books. Check out his books.

Were you ever in contact with him, Graham?

No and by all accounts he was a bit of an ornery character so I’m glad. Means I can keep enjoying him without some shattering encounter weighing on me

Hah yeah, there’s more than a few stories of him being completely wild flying about.

I've been bummed out for days. He was mine and my husband's favorite comedian. I almost purchased a cameo for my husband over the summer and I'm kicking myself for not doing it.

He was a comedic genius
