Meyers, an emotional Fallon and Stephen Colbert all recalled working with the comedy legend during their stints on SNL (via toofab)
"He told me his favorite thing about 'SNL' is that it's the last place on TV where you can bomb. He just didn't care if he was bombing. If he thought the jokes were good, he had exactly as much fun telling them to a dead audience as one that appreciated them," Meyers explained.
"I started at 'SNL' in 2001, and I remember one time, Norm walked back into the studio to visit. I don't remember how old his son was at the time, but his son was young and someone said, 'Hey Norm, how's being a dad?' And he said, 'It's going great. Still no abductions.' That's the first thing I ever heard him say in-person."As another fellow"SNL" alum, Fallon held back tears as he called the late comedian an icon.
"I liked that he told jokes, that, in the nicest possible way, he didn't seem to care if the audience liked them," Colbert continued."But he liked the joke. They were sometimes dark, sometimes even too dark for me. But they were dark and strange and he had a wonderful presence."
