I was hooked on Norm ever since I saw his first HBO special in 1991. Had just a unique perspective and off-beat delivery that was all his own. Loved one of his lines about comedy (paraphrasing) that a comic "should go for laughs and not applause." There's video online of Norm on Conan's show when Norm and Conan assisted (or tried to assist) Gordon Ramsay in cooking segment. One of the funniest things I have ever seen.
