Norm: The Tale of Norm MacDonald

[trackwhack]

Netflix is premiering this on 16th. Its probably just gonna be a mishmash of what is already out there and maybe a few new excerpts from those who were close.

I'm from halfway around the world, just want all you folks to know how much he is loved back here too.

I remember the day he passed, I teared up so bad (I'm in my late 40's), then spent the next several days just reading obituaries, watching everything and anything Norm on YT.

He never got his due, like every true hero I guess. I remember Carlin getting old and I'd have a silly grin thinking of the goodies in store when Norm got older, but alas. We were robbed.

When I think Canada, I remember Norm, sometimes Leonard Cohen. you guys do have some absolute treasures.

Reminds me of that tragedy!



My all time favorite is the homeless guys dog joke - I could do this myself.

What's yours?

Turd Ferguson was genius. The fact he could do jokes and not show it. He had an impact.

I took my oldest son to see Norm when he was performing at The Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon.

I think I have seen/heard almost everything he's been involved in that's available online.

His appearances on Conan are some of my favorite. Of course, the Moth joke is legend.

How about his anti-roast of Bob Saget?

His appearance on The View talking about the Clintons.

Another favorite is when he did his opening monologue as host of SNL after being fired from the show because he was told he wasn't funny.

He is quite often mentioned as the favorite comedian of other legendary comedians of his era.

Them is means streets for wiener dog in a cardigan.

Young Norm with the innocent boyish shtick was brilliant, cynical old Norm didn't suit him as much imo ... but overall one my all time favourite comedians.
