    @@Smorgasbord. the whole thing that makes him a comedy legend is A) his SNL role B) his ability to just ramble and talk absolute nonsense and still make it entertaining and hook you.

I'm sure Conan reached out and was probably one of the few that was clued in on the fact that Norm was not doing well. Even watching one of the last videos Norm posted on his instagram, it's clear he was sick. Norm was a GOAT and he'll be missed. RIP. I'm glad Conan and his team are uploading these gems.

    What's noteworthy isn't just that he gave the punchline. We all learn as little kids not to do that. But Norm gets away with it because he waits until he's sure _everyone_ gets the joke, they've processed it, they're ready for the next thing _and then_ Norm tells the punchline. It's the subversion of expectations at such a high level.
