      Norm never followed marching orders on the show. He became unpopular amongst the cast, the producers. Some think he was fired because he constantly made jokes about OJ Simpson, a friend of the president of NBC.

    Harry Caray is the dark horse best SNL character there’s been...

    Harry Caray died not long after this sketch aired. That soon put Will Ferrell's impression of him out of business, but it was damn funny while it lasted.
