something's definitely happened to his face - he really looks like he got a bad facelift, which in turn makes him look a bit older than he really is

i mean there's a marked difference in just the past couple of years. Compare an episode of Norm MacDonald Live from a couple of years ago (Adam Sandler for example, 2014) against the new one with Jerry Seinfeld.
I keep seeing the xanax rumor.

Apparently all he needed was a few sips of Jim Carrey's hyper intense coffee blend.

great interview, Carrey's comic spirit remains the same but he's more mild mannered

Very weird I was thinking about him just todayHeās not really a name at all in the uk, & a number of years ago a friend told me I had to watch the roast of Bob saget (who also isnāt) & I was watching thinking this is fucking dire, just total dogshit, why the fuck did he think I should see this, and then Normās bit came on and i absolutely died laughing. & Iām glad to have watched the rest of the show just for the context of the kind of shit that was expectedHave watched a handful of clips of talk show appearances &c but no real sense of what heās known for, will appreciate digging in to RIP clips

that Bob Saget roast was really the moment he became my favorite comedian. idk who else could've pulled that off.

simply no one funnier. very sad. strongly recommend his bonkers youtube talkshow to those who havent seen it, which (imho) achieves the impossible by successfully bottling the gidddy dgaf energy of his talkshow guest appearances. it didnt really translate when he switched over to netflix, but some of those youtube episodes are the hardest ive laughed in my adult life, like the culmination of all the different things he was good at: being a chaotic foulmouthed talkshow guest, long shaggy dog stories, weekend update-style non sequitur jokes. idk if its even still up or if it got wiped from the net, but worth searching for.
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Tuesday, 14 September 2021 19:45 (two years ago) link
I think about his very funny mildly racist appearance hosting the mtv vma red carpet a while back often
his older movies are all completely awful, I like the concept of the dude being around but it also doesn't bother me that he's dead, like in a way he represents something that had to die

This is still unlike anything Iāve ever seen, just a flatly extraordinary moment. On his Comedians In Cars.. episode Seinfeld says heād never known a set on tv get such a positive reaction among fellow comedians.

Dude had a pretty big rep among stand up comedians and they all seem to have at least one wild and weird story about Norm McDonald. Like some other comedians, far to weird and crazy to actually cash in as going for the joke would derail many of his attempts in Hollywood etc.
One of my favorite things he did in TV/movies was his bit role with John Cullum playing Neil Flynn's brother and dad on The Middle. Those three should have been a show.
