Jack Carter: We used to be friendly with the Norm Crosbys, but that friendship ended. Crosby turned out to be a real asshole and a real joke thief. He'll steal your act blind.

Kliph Nesteroff: Really?

Jack Carter: Norm Crosby and I were friends for a long time, but he is a joke thief and he stole a ton of material from me and many others. He's a reciter. He has no actual funny bone, but he knows how to put jokes together and blend them and do a half hour. Never in your life will you meet someone who says they're a Norm Crosby fan, y'know.
