He may also have been fired because he said "
fuck" on
live network television.
Or so the story goes.
Norm always went for the
obvious joke.
If the
headline had something to do with
Marion Berry, the punchline was
crack.
If he was talking about either
Clinton, the punchline was all about
sex, drugs, or marital woes.
If the joke had anything to do with
murder, surely Norm would lead it back to a very
obvious O.J.-related comment.
And
so it goes. In fact,
give me a day's worth of news and I'll tell you exactly what Norm would do with it.
What's worse is that his successor,
Colin Quinn, who has exhibited talent in the past, follows the
same schtick....only his delivery is
worse.
Sniff sniff.
icicle spends a lot of time watching
older episodes of
Saturday Night Live and
lying prostrate at the gravesite of American satire.
