Title: RIP Norm MacDonald Post by: Rev. Powell on September 14, 2021, 03:03:21 PM One of my favorite comedians, dead from cancer at 61.
He was notoriously fired from SNL for insubordination (for telling jokes about OJ Simpson, who was a close friend of an NBC executive). He could make the lamest joke ridiculously funny through his deadpan delivery. Here's the famous "moth" joke he told on Conan: https://youtu.be/jJN9mBRX3uo (https://youtu.be/jJN9mBRX3uo) Lots of material here for fans: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJNky9LM9wx0cmWfrg5eUcw (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJNky9LM9wx0cmWfrg5eUcw) "The more I learn about that Hitler, the more I don't care for the guy."--Norm MacDonald Title: Re: RIP Norm MacDonald Post by: WingedSerpent on September 14, 2021, 03:10:09 PM I loved his jokes. He was my favorite SNL anchor. Best Bob Dole impression they had as well. Show was never the same after he left.
R.I.P Norm MacDonald. Title: Re: RIP Norm MacDonald Post by: Rev. Powell on September 14, 2021, 03:42:55 PM “I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw."--Norm MacDonald

Title: Re: RIP Norm MacDonald Post by: FatFreddysCat on September 15, 2021, 05:03:15 PM Such a bummer. I remember his relentless dragging on O.J. during "Weekend Update," and I was just talking about his movie "Dirty Work" to my brother a couple of weeks ago, saying that I need to revisit it, cuz it's been quite a while since I last saw it. R.I.P., sir.

Here he is as the last standup to appear on Letterman. Funny set with an ending that makes me tear up. https://youtu.be/mFjEvl43zYY Title: Re: RIP Norm MacDonald Post by: Olivia Bauer on October 21, 2021, 10:34:00 AM Never watched the guy but I've seen some funny clips on YouTube. If I wanted to get into his works where would I start?
