Unfortunately there's not much else to the story. What little else there is you can find in my ask me thread, which I will shamelessly plug
here. Feel free to bump, as I am a blatant attention whore.
For the most part Norm was pleasant to work with. He's eccentric but not a total dick. But I was only a PA at the time and didn't have much interaction with him. I do remember hearing that as the show was starting to go down (ratings wise) he chewed out all the writers on stage in front of some network people during a run-through. That's not really a cool thing to do.
My best guess at why he's not more popular is that he just doesn't have a broad appeal. He's snarky and dry and a bit weird but it's hard to picture him playing a sympathetic character in a lead role. He certainly didn't pull it off on the show I was on with him.
