A conversation with Animalman just now brought back memories of "The Norm Show"(changed to just Norm after a comic strip writer bitched about it). I think it was really the best utilization of Norm MacDonald's style. Although it was kinda hard to buy him being a former hockey player(he's much more convincing as a guy who keeps getting thrown through windows), that did lead to my favorite episode, where everybody remembered Norm as "the guy who scored a goal with his ass."
