I have never seen an entire episode of The Norm Show because I have only seen a couple of clips which I didn't find funny at all... and I kind of don't want to ruin Norm for me. I don't think his humor translates well in sitcom form.

Apparently the show is good though? So I will start watching the first season I guess.

Stan Hooper I heard was terrible... like he plays the straight man in it... I think I will never watch that.

God I wish I could find a torrent of all of his Weekend Updates. That would be the most incredible thing ever.

Magic Johnson has received a $900,000 retainer to write a book on how not to get AIDS. Chapter 1: Don't have sex with me.

In Virginia, police are looking for a stripper who stabbed a man for telling her she was too fat to strip. Police warn that the woman is armed and extremely fat.

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a man allowed his eight-year-old daughter to take the wheel of his car, and an accident ensued that damaged seven other cars and injured six people. Which once again proves my theory - women can't drive.

Well, there may be trouble in paradise. Lisa Marie Presley confirmed this week, that she and Michael Jackson live in separate residences, 50 miles away from each other. Lisa Marie was quoted as saying, "I guess being married to a homosexual pedophile wasn't such a great idea after all."

O.J. Simpson's lawyers say they don't want the families of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman in the courtroom during the trial. They're afraid the presence of the family members will just remind O.J. of how much more killing he still has to do.

Beginning in March, D.C. Comics will change Superman's traditional red and blue costume to a new form-fitting bodysuit. The problem with the old costume? Not gay enough.

Thurman Thomas has just broken a few of OJ's records recently. He now leads the Bills in touchdowns, and yards. Next up... killing three people at once.

In New York, state-of-the-art self-cleaning toilets may soon appear on city streets. In a survey, New Yorkers expressed their enthusiasm for the outdoor toilets, noting that they are very easy to urinate on.

Meanwhile, with President Clinton's second inauguration approaching, the tension has turned to what the women will be wearing at the festivities. According to the White House, First-Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will wear a gown by Oscar Delorante; Tipper Gore will appear in a Jennifer George ensemble; and Attorney-General Janet Reno will be outfitted by Rochester Big & Tall.

A new survey by the Washington Post reports that D.C. Mayor Marion Barry's popularity among city residents has dropped to its lowest point in five years. However, Mayor Barry insists he has no interest in polls or, for that matter, anything else that isn't crack.

Who are safer drivers? Men, or women? Well, according to a new survey, 55% of adults feel that women are most responsible for minor fender-benders, while 78% blame men for most fatal crashes. Please note that the percentages in these pie graphs do not add up to 100% because the math was done by a woman. [Crowd groans.] For those of you hissing at that joke, it should be noted that that joke was written by a woman. So, now you don't know what the hell to do, do you? [Laughter] Nah, I'm just kidding, we don't hire women.

How can they call it the Ultimate Norm MacDonald torrent, when it doesn't have weekend update? Terrible.

Also he is doing an online show on SuperDeluxe.com called "The Fake News". I have watched two episodes and they are pretty awful, I don't know. It is like he didn't write them or something, and it's an animated dude and he's just doing the voice, which is a horrible concept.
