This one really hurts. Norm has been my favorite comedian since I was a kid. For years I'd see him live and almost always had the good fortune to get to chat with him after shows. I just looked at his tour schedule yesterday. RIP to a man that was truly one of a kind.
Norm MacDonald will forever be responsible for my favorite late night moment of all time.
When I talked to him after a show in San Antonio, he kept giving me shit for weirdly saying "my dad and I grew up watching you."
"Your dad and you grew up together? What the hell does that mean?"
"Your dad and you grew up together? What the hell does that mean?"
I probably text this one to @AlexBoniello once a year or so.
Here's Norm going on Letterman immediately after NBC execs fired him from Weekend Update.
Norm lost Mangrate as a podcast sponsor because of how he did the ad reads, but to this day he's still the only reason I know what the hell a Mangrate is.
YouTube put together some influencer-filled comedy awards show years back, and hired Norm for the pre-show. He showed up in sweatpants and smoking a cigarette and spent the entire time gloriously shitting on the whole thing.
