Sounds pretty kick ass. I never even heard of that Schiller's Reel with Norm, and I thought I've seen everything Norm's done on SNL.

They've been uploading a lot of late 80s/early 90s SNL on there for the last few months.

What/where is 'my-spleen?' Google doesn't help me

EDIT I figured it out, do I need an invite or something?

EDIT I do need an invite, anyone care to spare an invite?

[ResetSmith]

I've actually got a few extra ones, I almost hate to post this becuase I'll probably get flooded with PMs, but I can send out ones to the first few people who PM me, as long as they're regular posters here and not just someone who found this post through google looking for an invite. Are you familiar with how to d/l torrents and stuff like that?

I'm not sure what kind of file the Norm torrent is, it says this in the description:
"I do have one request however, and that is to please don't compress (avi, xvid, mpeg or other)these files. I would like to keep this as a DVD-only download."

Some kind of burned DVD file I think, if you download that "VideoLAN" thing you should be able to play pretty much any kind of video file.

Yes, what's My Spleen and how do I get onto it?

[TheLazenby]

I downloaded "The Best of Norm MacDonald" - terrible editing job, but it's nice to see at least.

Among the writers and producers contributing to the show, Mr. Swardson said, were Horatio Sanz (of “Saturday Night Live”), Tom Gianis (“Human Giant”), Brian Posehn (“Mr. Show With Bob and David”) and Greg Cohen (“Late Night With Conan O’Brien”)

Just saw this a little while ago, Horatio Sanz is involved (writing and possibly acting?) in Nick Swardson's new sketch show on Comedy Central. It seems like it's been a long time since we've seen Horatio in anything. Sounds like it could be a good show, I've always found Swardson pretty damn funny.

[TheLazenby]

At least the Norm Update montage let me see something I'd never actually seen before -
"Last weekend in Washington, a new museum dedicated to broadcast jour.... *gags* The fuck was that?"

Honestly, I'm surprised Norm didn't end up in deeper shit for that. If anything though, it showed how easily someone can slip up.

It seems like it's been a long time since we've seen Horatio in anything.

He was in a short-lived sitcom, In the Motherhood, just this spring.
