Actual article title: O.J. Simpson, former football star acquitted of murder, dies at 76.
In an odd coincidence, the real killer reportedly died at the exact same time.
Norm?
Norm Macdonald loved roasting OJ and did it every chance he got.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer.”
Asked to comment, the cancer claimed innocence and vowed to catch the real killer.
(that one’s for you, Norm)
If the cancer type does not fit, then you must acquit.
I was looking into the people involved, and Don Ohlmeyer, the guy who had Norm fired from SNL in 1998 for his OJ jokes, died of cancer in 2017. Norm did in 2021. And now OJ. Fuck cancer (and also OJ).
Man, jokes aside, fuck cancer.
Amen/Fucking-A.
I couldn’t help it and had to edit in one more joke.
Finally, OJ can rest knowing his wife’s killer is dead.
That’s gold, Jerry.
GOLD!
This just makes me miiss Norm McDonald
How many of the weekend update jokes did he write? I assumed they mostly came from the writer’s room (and that he may or not be there, but it at least wouldn’t be all or maybe even mostly him)
He had writers too, but he was largely in charge of Weekend Update, I believe. There are some good interviews with Jim Downey, who worked closely with him.
Here he is on Conan’s podcast: https://youtu.be/OPjqzMl2VX8
Nice, thanks for that link!
Rest In Piss
Me in high school watching the Bronco chase:
“Fuck, this asshole is going ruin the Naked Gun movies for me now.”
I used to worry about that too! Thankfully Leslie Nielson always was the true star so the movies hold up
The other thread got deleted but @[email protected] threw down this gem that cracked me up
“If I Did It” by CANCER
Bye Norbert. Too bad you turned out to be a cunt.
I know, it sucks. Naked Gun is one of my favorites, and he was great in it. Too bad he turned out to be a shithead.
I’m just going to pretend his role in Capricorn One was a government conspiracy.
One of the few times where you root for the cancer
It will be interesting to see what the Bills do. He played a bit before my time, but he was a big part of the Bills identity in the 70s.
I’ve heard lots of stories about how good OJ was at knifing through the backfield…
Oh nooo……who will the news channels reach out to now when they desperately need legal advice on critical issues like should it be illegal to pay hush money payment to a pornstar to influence the election outcome?
Such a tragedy
Good riddance.
Did he ever find the killer like he said he would?
He did though! Every morning when he got up, he stared him in the face as he brushed his teeth
They finally squeezed the Juice.
Good.
