What's the showbiz equivalent to serving jury duty? Being a panelist on
Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect." And apparently Norm couldn't get
out of it -- making his third appearance on the program. Bumped to
ungodly hours in most major markets, this former Comedy Central
powerhouse lost its thunder after the '96 presidential race and a move
to the alphabet network. Maher reverently apes a politically savvy Johnny
Carson, while moderating debate between often amusingly dissimilar panelists.
Last night, there was political columnist Ariana Huffington, B-movie
mogul Lloyd Kaufman, socially-conscious actor Edward James Olmos and
good ol' Norm. The biggest happening of the night was the verbal
brawl that got rather heated between Olmos and Maher, who differed on how
affective Ghandi would have been in dealing with the turmoil in Kosovo.
The two made up, but Norm was a little rattled (while sporting his new,
closely- cropped hairdo.) Another topic was the Littleton tragedy, which
also made for some pins-and-needles moments. ABC has
provided a transcript and we have our abridged version, which has been Normanized for your protection. MORE NEWS

I'M BOB DOLE!: Norm's probably most well known for his impression of Dan Aykroyd's impression of Bob Dole. You know, I know it and the American people know it. But Norm's finest Dole moments weren't on "SNL." Nope, they were on "The Howard Stern Show."
