Considering this is a Norm MacDonald bit from Weekend Update, I'm pretty sure this is from the 90's.

It's text over a picture. That text wasn't there on SNL in the 90's.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not (Poe's Law and all), but Norm MacDonald told this joke (word for word) in 1996 on SNL's Weekend Update. Some social media account added the transcript of the joke to an old photo of Norm to post it as a meme. That says nothing about whether or not North Carolina is currently executing people; it's just someone retelling an old joke.
