Agree with this and the following FTA: 'Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”'

Meh. I disagree. He frequently made below the belt jokes about the appearance or attributes of others, particularly women and gays. He was pretty funny otherwise though.

Fully realizing this will be downvoted, but RIP anyway.

You know what they say... speak ill of the dead!

I don't believe in any of that, personally. I was simply responding to "he's the funniest man alive" or such.

I was merely referencing the bit from podcast episode with Bobby Lee -- where Adam Eget mentioned Robin Williams stealing acts/jokes in a conversation and he replies as I did.
