I never appreciated Norm or really knew he existed until a week ago when I discovered The Moth Joke and it floored me. (Seen him on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee but that doesn't count because it's a ten minute highly edited appertif amongst numerous other highly edited comics at their best).
One thing you notice about Norm, and Dave Chapelle is it's not the words, the delivery is everything. He knows exactly what to do at the Bob Saget Roast where he just stops and stares at Bob - who to his credit is "getting it" - or at the audience because that is what the joke requires to work. Other times his infectious mischevious grin would come on - any time he mentions O.J. Simpson for example, and he just ploughs ahead because to stop would be comedic quicksand.
