Damn...unexpected
-
So funny on Weekend Update and even funnier in stand up. RIP. :D
61 feels so young to me now. :'(

Loved Norm, one of my favorite comics. Even watched his show when it was on in the 90's.
He had his dog named "Weiner Dog".
Great on SNL (Burt Reynolds on Jeopardy, etc).
Norm invented the term "Fake News"...
-
Sad. All the non-PC comics are dying off. Soon all there will be is Jimmy Fallon comedy.
-
Sad news to hear. A nine year cancer battle. Will be hitting up YouTube for some classic clips.
-
RIP

dirty work is an underrated comedy

This is terrible. Who am I gonna steal jokes from now?
So long, Norm.
-
Loved his deadpan delivery. Crazy that he’s dead, I didn’t realize he was sick. Fucking nine years with cancer.
-
May he rest in peace.

I am genuinely sad about this. I fucking love Norm. Coincidental, I spent about two hours last night watching him on Youtube. I had no idea he was sick and then today I woke up to this bullshit.
RIP Norm. A few thoughts........
First, his book was great and I highly recommend it.

Secondly, he once said that this "was the only true picture ever taken of him"

Lastly, "The Norm Show"(1999) and the movie Dirty Work are both underrated.

maybe i am too much of a cynic, but i always felt a lot of people with cancer like the attention that comes with having cancer
most celebrities with cancer these days constantly post about their cancer on social media, i respect norm macdonald and chadwick boseman a lot for keeping it private

Honestly one of the best comedians to ever live, I was actually really caught off guard with this “celeb” death.

"Chairman of the board"
"Do something with that you freak"
"I bet that board is spelled b-o-r-e-d"

We gotta show Norm some respect and update the thread title to spell his last name correctly. It's Macdonald.
-
Larry King: "Tell us a secret about you-"
Norm: "I'm actually a deeply closeted gay."
Larry: "Wait, are you telling us you're actually gay?"
Norm: "NO! A deeply closeted gay would NEVER admit he's gay!"
LOL old Larry was so confused ;D

Total respect for not following the NBC president's ban on OJ Simpson jokes during the trial. (They were good friends).
I think it got him fired from SNL. :-\

Anyone ever watch The Norm Show? All the episodes are on YouTube, funny stuff. I’ve been celebrating his entire catalog, I am a Norm Macdonald fan.

I used to love the Norm Show. The Sports Show he did on comedy Central was funny too.
His best work might have been the show he did for free on Youtube called Norm Macdonald Live. Fucking hilarious and he had some good guests too.

Yes the episode with Super Dave was one of the best.

I heard him do his own play by play of one of the golf tournaments (Masters or US Open) and it was really funny stuff.
Just the idea to do that was pretty original.

Norm Macdonald Shot Secret Final Netflix Stand-Up Special Before Passing
One of modern comedy’s greatest talents made one final stand-up special before he passed away — and it’s been kept a secret, until now.
Norm Macdonald, who died last September at the age of 61, privately shot an unreleased one-hour stand-up special.
The acclaimed Saturday Night Live actor-comedian known for his deadpan delivery was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 but kept his illness private. He was working on new material for a Netflix special when he had to go into the hospital in the summer of 2020.
“His test results were not good, so during the heart of COVID-19 pandemic and literally the night before going in for a procedure, he wanted to get this on tape just in case — as he put it — things went south,” Lori Jo Hoekstra, Macdonald’s longtime producing partner, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It was his intention to have a special to share if something happened.”
The result was a stand-up special shot in Macdonald’s living room. The actor filmed the entire hour in a single take. “He looks great and the material’s fantastic,” Hoekstra says.
As it turned out, Macdonald made it through the medical procedure just fine and the footage was literally tossed in a closet. But Macdonald became very ill a year later, before his special could be properly filmed before an audience. “He ended up getting sicker last August and September, and he remembered he had shot this and asked me to find it so he could watch it,” Hoekstra says. “He ended up watching it before he passed away.” Macdonald even suggested a characteristically self-deprecating title for the hour: Nothing Special.
Netflix will release the surprise program — Norm Macdonald: Nothing Special‚ on May 30.
The stand-up hour is likely a first in the world of comedy — a postmortem last joke and testament from a comic who relished defying contention. “From the various conversations I’ve had within our circle of friends in comedy and producing, no one has heard of any comparison to this [situation] — not even close,” says Hoekstra, who in addition to Nothing Special, also produced Macdonald’s ABC sitcom Norm and his Netflix talk show Norm Macdonald Has a Show
The program will include clips of Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien, Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, David Spade and Molly Shannon discussing Macdonald during the recent Netflix Is a Joke Fest.
“It makes me so happy that I can share it, but also so sad that we can’t share it with him,” Hoekstra says. “He didn’t do this for the shock that it exists. He shot it because he loved his material and was so proud of his material. He worked so hard and it really would’ve bothered him to have done all that work and not been able to show everybody. He did it for the stand-up. I just hope people appreciate that he did this.”

Norm would have made a great addition to Curb Your Enthusiasm. He could have been a Funkhouser. RIP.
