Here's something off the website:
Canadian Norm fans! Now, not only do you get free healthcare and ubiquitous hockey games, you also get reruns of ‘Norm’! Anyone lucky enough to live in Toronto, Ottawa, Kitchener, Central Ontario, Calgary, or Edmonton, your CTV station is running ‘Norm’ at 5:30 pm (except Edmonton where the show’s on at 4:30). Excited of Monday's announcement, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien announced, “I now invite all of you in American to come on up to Canada, we could really use the boost in population. And to all of you in Mexico, stay there.”
It also provides real news, and the old show is definitely dead. I don't know about Norm's chances with Lovitz. Jon was pretty bad on "News Radio".
Sadly we don't get it. Not on the Ottawa CTV station anyhow - not sure it was ever in that time slot but it is not there now. It plays "whose line is it anyway"..."Norm" would be better. These days the only sitcom i really enjoy is "Becker".
Norm and his wife Connie [separated/divorced, depending on who you ask] have a young son named Dylan. A middle child of three boys; his brothers Neil and Leslie are both newscasters for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Norm Macdonald is (~real~ news guy) Neil Macdonald's brother!?! Whoa, I need to lie down....
