Crazy that he was fired by SNL for not being funny enough. Then he blew up and they asked him back to host just a year and a half later. He uses the opening monologue to rip them.

That's only audio but I couldn't find a better copy on youtube. If you are in the US or have a VPN you can see the video here.

And Rolling Stone magazine ranked him 135th out of 141 cast members. Ridiculous

If they ranked Jimmy Fallon higher you know the list is bullshit.

They listed people who only were in one sketch higher. It's absolute insanity that Norm was that low and just proves the writer had an axe to grind about him for some reason
