Yet another situation where the death of a star leaves me in shock but would not have been stunned at all if it was disclosed. I was surprised here because Norm was seen on SNL's 40th Anniversary special within that timeframe, though over 6.5 years ago.
I think I remember reading something on his health not too long ago, but I likely forgot about it. Also, I saw him every-so-often, but given how time flies, those appearances could've been no later than 4-5 years ago. Regardless, a rather underrated actor. Pretty close to Adam Sandler & Dave Letterman. Glad he returned to Saturday Night Live after his exit that wasn't on the best terms. At the time it seemed like an eternity when he left midway through Season 23, but it was about a year and a half upon returning to host in Season 25 soon after his segment with Chevy Chase & Dennis Miller on Weekend Update on the 25th Anniversary special.
Tough loss, and while it's been a couple of weeks, same goes for Ed Asner. Losing too many legends; it's not cool when you tune into something to see someone, and you won't be able to do that anymore. That's just the way it goes, sadly.
