moduscheetotus Noooo, I thought for a second it was Noam Chomsky. Still, really sad for him.

He was clever

Oh man for a moment I thought it was Noam Chomsky.

RockyMntnMike One of the few good memories of my stepmom is that she embodies malapropism. Pronounced it “malatrop.' RIP, Norm.

Thanks 🙏 norm was awesome 👏 funny

😢😢❤️

That’s a shame. His crazy, mispronounced comedy was what I grew up on, plus his contemporaries. The big comedy club in the sky just got another act for the main showroom.

RIP and my condolences to his family and loved ones. 🙏
