Anybody see this? Norm McDonald blew the lid off of the Crocodile Hunter joke box. He killed Stewart. I buckled up and died laughing. Sample comment – “Fourty-Four is a ripe old age for a crocodile hunter.”

His bit about the crocodiles being embarassed because a “fruity fish” got him was immortal comedy gold.

“Hey, who got him? Was it Frank?”  
“Dude, you don’t even want to know.”

I loved it! I couldn’t stop laughing.

But all things being equal, I think MacDonald walked a fine line - I didn’t hear anything that was specifically disrespectful of Irwin, per se - more just playing with the name “Crocodile Hunter”

I thought the Brit fellow - John Oliver? - his bit was pretty damn funny, too. Better than the average Hodgman or Dmitri what’s-his-name piece…

Yep, that was funny as all get-out. It made me want to buy Norm’s CD when I see it in the stores.

I liked how Jon Stewart was embarassed to laugh, but couldn’t help himself.
