: The Norm Show has been renewed for the 2000-2001 season, but will be seen at the odd time of 9pm on Friday night. Why ABC? Why would you do this? TGIF will never return to the greatness of the Urkel days, it's time to move on. Please put Norm back on Wednesdays, maybe after Drew Carey, like it was before, remember? Back when it got ratings? The Survivor show will be gone in the fall, Millionaire will be on top again, please ABC, do it for Carl.*
Screwed Update: Norm's most recent foray into the world of feature films was a box-office bomb, not even recuperating it's $10 million production costs. But if you like Norm, you'll like the movie, especially if you're a fan of body hair. It probably won't be long getting to video, so if you missed it at the theater (and I am guessing you did) don't despair.
* There is no actual Carl, per se, it's just the label I give to the viewing public.
Norm's Career in a Nut Sac(I mean Shell)
Norm MacDonald is a stand-up comedian turned actor, but you should already know this. He started out in Ottawa, then realizing that there is no money to be made in Canada, he wisely moved to L.A. to further his career. He wrote for Roseanne for a while and continued his stand-up. Then one day around 1993 he showed up on my TV on Saturday Night Live. This was possibly the greatest day of my life, but since all the votes are not in yet, I'm not totally positive. Norm was a bit player in sketches before taking over the hallowed Weekend Update anchor position in 1994. He sat behind the desk for 3 years, polishing his trademark humor and acerbic wit. His Rat Bastard delivery spawned many running jokes and loveable catchphrases such as "or so the Germans would have us believe", and "Michael Jackson is a homosexual pedophile", and who could ever forget about the all-purpose gem, "Crackwhore". Norm never ceased to amaze , delight and offend. He was the king of SNL. Then, the dethroning. During SNL's Christmas hiatus Norm was informed he was no longer WU anchor. West Coast NBC president Don Ohlmeyer decided Norm was "not funny" and wanted him off WU. This is when I decided Don Ohlmeyer is the biggest idiot alive, and this belief has only been reaffirmed over time. Don would not release Norm from his contract , forcing him to remain on the show as a sketch player. It became apparent quickly that Norm would not be cooperative in this role, and after meeting with Ohlmeyer, he was eventually freed. Norm fled like the wind, making appearances on Letterman and elsewhere discussing his situation. Since "leaving" SNL, Norm has starred in two, count em, two, feature films, most commonly known as Dirty Work and Screwed. He also has his very own sitcom, Norm, on ABC, which will be returning for a third season in the fall. Norm is doing some stand-up touring this summer, check ticketmaster.com to see if he is coming somewhere near you. If you get to go to a show, please video tape it and send it to me. I will give you a present if you do. No word yet on his phantom comedy CD, although he has mentioned it a few times, emphasizing that it will be "very, very dirty." Good ol' Norm.
PS-Norm has recently given up his life-long addiction of gambling. Let's just hope he's not planning to go cold turkey with the Crackwhores too.
THE NORM CONSPIRACY
Norm has been the victim of a cruel cruel conspiracy of hate. INWOsuxRED has been kind enough to shed some light on this situation, and expose these worthless people for who they really are. Click on the title above if you know what's good for you.
Norm has recently spoke about which Superhero he would like to be, if he was a Superhero. At the time he said Mr Fantastic, of The Fantastic Four, but that was obviously a lie, to conceal his REAL Superhero identity. ClickHERE to get the real low-down.
