Comedian Norm Crosby, The Master of Malaprop’, dead at 93 after suffering heart failure
Comedian Norm Crosby has died at 93-years-old.
The funnyman suffered heart failure, according to his wife who spoke to TMZ.
Norm’s schtick was fumbling with malaprops, or using the wrong words. His goofy style of humor propelled him to fame, making him a frequent guest on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson.
He recently appeared on screen in 2013’s Grownups 2 and before that was in the animated Adam Sandler Hanukkah movie 8 Crazy Nights.
Crosby is survived by his wife Joan, two children and two grandchildren.
