yeah, I thought about that, the brother does have some pull but lobbying on his end ''publicly'' can't hurt. At worst it's gonna make him trend a bit on twitter.

I'd acutally love to see his brother get an interview show. He's smart as hell and been everywhere.

Saw Norm in Cleveland last night. Excellent as always. Funniest part was how he kept pretending he was about to light a cigarette the whole time. At first we thought it was just supposed to be funny because he'd start to light and then go off on some tangent, but we later figured out it was because he wasn't allowed to smoke in there and he was just loving with the management.

I don't know. My sister only found out about it two days before the show because she follows a local comedian on twitter who opened for him.

How famous is Norm, I live in europe and only know of him because as a student I used to watch a lot of late night tv which included I think it was The Norm Show.

The question we're constantly asking ourselves.

Norm fans are the most masochistic fans in Hollywood, Norm is famous for flaking on shows and obligations all the time. He's like some insane genius that can be hilarious when he wants to be, but is rarely motivated for too long. Your guess is as good as ours. The guy takes so many hiatuses he makes Artie Lange look reliable.

It is interesting to see people like Norm who in all rights is a celebrity, and worked with them for decades, still be amazed by it all. He tells a good story, even through the terrible medium that is twitter.

I wonder how Jeselnik and Norm will do in tandem. I reckon Jeselnik will be the mean one, I just can't see Norm tearing into someone in earnest. I can see him very sarcastically commending awful comedians, however. He'll also have the tremendous opportunity to set up Roseanne Barr to say increasingly (yet hopefully innocuous) crazier things as the season progresses, which is a plus.

I'd wager he makes it half a season before publicly shitcanning the show and getting fired. Or Don Ohlmayer will fire him before it even gets off the ground. Either way is exciting because Norm's take on it will be hilarious as always. Still really surprised Norm is back to work for NBC, though.

I really can't see Norm enjoying himself under the restraints of network TV again. He just seems to have so much fun making homophobic Adam Eget jokes and holocaust denial jokes. Can he even work family-friendly anymore?

I guess he was well behaved and funny on the snl reunion. There was only one norm-like weird moment on it, thought.

I am not sure what is stranger, an unjaded Letterman or an extremely handsome young Norm. Either way, the quickdraw-Weatherman won the day for me!

That was pretty good comedy, though. I wonder if the shallow grave joke here was the catalyst for 'Janice'
