I think he's pretty damn funny. However, I would love it if Nejad got that job! Dude cracks me up.

I really don't know why some people hate him so much. Honestly, I think he is pretty entertaining.

Norm doesn't go overboard with the poker analysis he keeps it real and isnt afraid to make stupid jokes and make fun of himself and other people.

Keep WSOP announcers as they are. Norman Chad is perfect for it.
As a matter of fact they replace AJ with Norman Chad. For HSP

How can he? He doesn't know anything. When he can win something at the poker table I will want to listen to him but until than give me Gabe or Mike Sexton.

Norman Chad has pounded Steve Begleiter so far into the felt, I'm figuring maybe Begs slept with one of his ex-wives.

Norman Chad is hit or miss but somewhat funny I guess.

If you watch the WSOP 2003 he seems way more calm and smarter back then in his hand analysis. Nowadays he does get a bit annoying but I still like him.

I love the Norm/Lon combo, but I'm the nostalgic type and it's like coming home when I hear the familiar music and the good old banter. Having said that, he does go into the recycle bin a bit too much. He could freshen his material year to year, but overall he's a keeper.

I do respect him for calling out the badly behaved players who berate/belittle others at the table. He doesn't give the stars a pass on that B.S. either!

Personally I find wamboozled hilarious, along with most of his other shtick. Constantly ripping into Begs warmed my heart... the crack after he asked Ivey a really uncomfortable question about the '03 ME killed me.

But his jokes dont change, and anything that can be considered remotely funny is so few and far between, the annoying commentary is all you hear these days. Think of going to a party and theres always that guy that hasnt changed his jokes in years. Everyone hates that guy at the party, because hes annoying. Thats Norman Chad these days, hes that guy at the party.

Look, it's kind of like going to watch a Steven Seagal movie. You know it isn't gonna win any Oscars, you know deep down in your heart it really isn't very good, but it's comfortable, there's entertaining moments, and it's a couple hours away from hearing your wife whine at you about taking out the garbage.

I think Norm is great. Very funny and entertaining, too. The WSOP wouldn't be the same without him.

He also attended the University of Maryland. I believe they are known as the Ragin Cajuns.
