But I wonder if if people, uh, like you say you don't like people who are not hardworking. I wonder, are there people who work and worked as hard as Steve did? And does, um, I was thinking when I said it that there's an exception. I know we're both admirers of Norm Macdonald, and he seems sometimes like someone who has something. It's his cadence. It's the way he talks. I don't know if he's a hardworking comic, but God, he makes me laugh. And his cadence, something is just wrong about, you know? But I, I, I, I love Norm. And, uh, my guess is, uh, what I know of Norm is that he may not be working hard, no. But, but that what he has, um, is the same result as somebody who's worked hard. Yes. Yeah. Uh, which is again, enviable, admirable. But God, he, uh, he makes me laugh. And, uh, I, I happen across some, some of his time on, uh, Weekend Update.
Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. When you watch it now, you realize Norm just didn't care if it got a laugh. No. No. No. And he didn't. He didn't care. And he had a joke. I think Downey wrote the joke. It was during the OJ trial, and there's a picture of Johnny Cochran holding up the knit cap with OJ sitting next to him. And God, no one could do this but Norm. Norm said, uh, "A little bit of a wrinkle for OJ in the trial today. Johnny Cochran, uh, stood up and held the knit cap that was, uh, found at the scene of the double murders. When OJ jumped up and said, 'Hey, careful with that. That's my lucky stabbing cap.'" Who else could do that? And, and he doesn't. And if it got nothing, he would stare. Yeah. And, and tell you your problem. I thought that was one of the best, uh, I mean, dark, but fantastic. And, and also, no one could do it but him.
No, that's what I was going to say. I would, if somebody had pitched that joke to me at the height of the OJ trial, I, I would have laughed and not done it. Would you have done that, Jay? I would not have done that. Yeah. I would have been queasy. And well, you know, it's tragedy. And, uh, it was theater of some kind. Theater of the absurd. But the delivery, the, the persona, and, and the material, it's powerful. Yes. In a brilliant move during closing arguments, Simpson attorney Johnny Cochran put on the knit cap prosecutors say OJ wore the night he committed the [Music] murders. Bringing the energy for the Queens of the Festival. Can you see with the Queens of the Festival here? The r the St dropping beats and make everybody engage from sunrise sunset.

That's my lucky stabbing [Laughter] hat."
