Saturday Night Live
for five years and the host of the show's Weekend Update fake news segment for three years. He was fired during the 1997-1998 season about halfway through. After he was fired, Norm was a guest on
The Late Show with David Letterman
, and he spoke about the firing. He said he had to call the president of NBC to find out he was fired. You're not funny, said the executive. Since then, the people have disagreed, rating Norm as one of the funniest people in the business for decades. He actually came back to host
SNL
