Some of you may not have been around during 96 but the reason Norm kept falling throughout the skit is that Dole actually had a nasty fall during a campaign rally just days prior to that broadcast. I remember watching this sketch and had howled with laughter! RIP Norm MacDonald.

Hey thanks for bringing this up! I was confused for a minute, but figured there must have been a real-life event that inspired the bit. The writers are/have been excellent with satirizing memelike moments in politics

Only when the GOP Convention commenced. He got a temporary bounce and I remember one poll where he was statistically tied with Clinton. That quickly evaporated and Clinton held leads of 12-27 points throughout the election. However, this sense of inevitability lead to many voters staying home and Dole over performed on Election Day.
