* On that note, his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIsgBAXQxR4 Turtle Joke]], perfectly showcases that when he told a classic style of joke, the journey was even more fun than the destination. Only Norm could've made the scenario of a drunk eating a turtle alive into one of the funniest anecdotes you'll ever hear.

* One of Norm's most famous moments happened during a May 1997 appearance on ''Series/LateNightWithConanOBrien.'' Courtney Thorne-Smith was being interviewed about her new film, ''Film/ChairmanOfTheBoard'', in which she was co-starring with noted prop comic Carrot Top. Courtney put on a brave face and tried to look enthusiastic about the movie, but unfortunately for her, Norm sensed that she was less than proud of working/starring in the film, causing him to...well, intervene. For what it's worth, Norm was right on the nose with some of the jokes: ''COTB'' would turn out to be a '''major''' BoxOfficeBomb, effectively ending Courtney's movie career.
