Stormin Norman Nutrisystem commercial

From 1986, here's Sacramento's favorite disgraced weatherman, KTXL's Stormin' Norman Jacobs, for Nutri/System Weight Loss Centers! Norm was TV40's weatherman until he was busted in 1987 for 'lewd conduct' in a mens' room at Macy's! I heard he killed himself afterwards but haven't found anything confirming or denying that. The incident happened when I'd just about given up on TV40 anyways since they started cutting their movies. I have some weather updates with Norm that I'll put up as soon as I find them.

Incidentally, that is a young and yet-to-be famous Rush Limbaugh on the tag.

When the Senator Larry Craig incident became public, all I could think of was Stormin Norman.

He was arrested at the Macy's in Sunrise Mall for attempting to engage in oral copulation with another man in a restroom stall. Did not kill himself that I am aware of. In Spring or Summer, 1989 I was in a Fair Oaks restaurant when none other than Stormin' Norman came walking in with, amazingly, his wife and kids!

Um, you completely rule for posting this. No one seems to know what happened to him after his arrest. Sounds like he probably left town. He spoke at our junior high in the 80's, and it was even more obvious in person that he was gay. Poor fella, had this happened a few years later and I'm sure he'd still be on the telly.
