      SNL writer Jim Downey deserves part of the credit. He was Norm's writing partner for Weekend Update and wrote many of the savage OJ jokes. In fact, according to Downey, it was originally only Downey who was going to be fired from Weekend Update but Norm chose to leave as well, rather than continue without him.

    I’m going to try to answer your question on the “Bill Clinton is a murderer” flare up on The View. First of all the ladies brought up politics when they chastised Norm for liking Republican Candidate Bob Dole. So Norm responded in the classic Norm way and double reversed it by bringing up the rumor that long time Clinton aide and confidant Vince Foster hadn’t committed suicide earlier in the year in a Washington park. The Clinton’s were facing criminal scrutiny of their dealings in Arkansas at the time.

Vince Foster, unalived himself by somehow shooting himself in the head twice. Walter Scheib, drowned under mysterious circumstances. Seth Rich, killed in a "mugging gone wrong" but nothing was stolen off of his body. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

    Decent is used to men two different things.

      The media tries very hard to maintain complete control over what's said and how it's presented. If they allowed genuine uncontrolled discussion and debate, their cherished ideas would lose and they'd be exposed as fools. It's very rare that something like this happens and someone sneaks through with something that challenges the narrative.

    About the clip of Norm on The View, he said years later on a podcast that they were annoying him (I think it was because they were lying about him to create controversy, or something like that), so he decided to f**k with them. And they brought up politics to put him on the spot, even though he is just a comedian, so since they wanted to talk about politics he just started calling the democrat candidate they supported a murderer xddd. He pretended it was a very well known thing and that he was surprised they didn't know about it, and he wouldn't get off the topic. Basically acting like a r3tard to annoy them (his words). At the end of the interview he also ruined a(n unfunny) comedy bit their producer had been trying to get him to do for weeks by just explaining it to the audience.
    There are very few comedians that would risk their careers that way just to f**k with people, not as a carefully crafted bit, but just because they feel like doing it. Even comedians that are generally known to be edgy don't really risk their careers that much, if you consider the specific jokes. Bill Burr said on a podcast that there are many comedians who dgaf, but that they all still kind of do, because you have to care if you want to have a career, but that Norm genuinely didn't. That is not the only reason, but it is one of the main reasons why he is a legend to many comedians.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.
    Also, not going to read through hundreds of comments to see if someone has already said this, but just in case. To be clear, Norm wasn't fired from SNL because he "wasn't funny". He was fired from SNL because one of the big wigs was friends with OJ Simpson and they demanded Norm lay off the OJ jokes and he refused to do it. Norm was the type of comedian who would always tell the funniest joke he could think of and never gave a single fuck who it might offend, even at the expense of his own job.

    Don Ohlmeyer was NBC’s West Coat president and a close personal friend of Oj Simpson. He ordered Norm to stop making jokes about his friend. Norm doubled down on them. He fired Norm mid season.
    He also later ordered Conan O’Brian to stop having Norm as a guest. Conan refused since Norm was not only a hilarious guest, but a personal friend. Ultimately Conan won out.

    the biggest misconception of Norm was that “he didn’t care”. He cared a bunch, he cared about comedy.

    Norm definitely had no filter. What is crazy is he is Canadian, and conservative at the same time!
