As a music teacher, I show West Side Story to my 7th graders each year, and explain why musicals have music and dance in them, when it completely defies reality. Music and dance are merely exclamation points in a musical drama. You never actually need an exclamation point. Exclamation points never change the grammar of a sentence, but they sure as hell change the ATMOSPHERE of a sentence, perhaps to drive home the message. All musicals are surreal - every one of them. My students always love West Side Story despite the surreality, and they're always devastated at the end. They agree that the impact wouldn't be there without the music and dance. I then immediately show them this sketch and we all laugh the hardest that we ever do all year. As soon as Norm says "What the hell was that?" the first time, we lose it. It reminds us how weird musicals are, even if we enjoy them.

Most of the guys who became "stars" from SNL were sketch guys, but Norm was a stand-up and Weekend Update was his wheelhouse. Those guys don't do many sketches to begin with and I don't think Norm had a whole ton of interest in sketch anyway.

It had more to do with the fact he was an alcoholic and gambling addict at the time, on top of conservatives at the time absolutely despising him because he loved to make religious jokes and liberals despising him because he loved to make sex and race jokes lol. So he was basically ratings cancer at the time lmao

Super animated and uninhibited, especially with characters that other comics may never have touched with a 10 foot pole - Mango and Mr Peepers are some of my favorites ever! Word is Norm relentlessly fu¢ked with him so bad though that it drove a serious wedge between em and made Kattan miserable. Office draaaamaaaaa 💅

This was many years after he was a cast member. He was 20 when he was in the cast, in his early 30's here. He definitely wasn't the worst cast member during the run of the show, been watching since the late 70's. His & Michael Hall's sense of humor didn't mess with Dennis Miller's, etc. Just bad chemistry.
