+ 1,000,000 RIP Norm
9 year battle. Damn.
berkeley cancer.
No E36 M3s were given when Norm tied into someone. No hostages.
His delivery took me quite a while to accept, but he was one funny SOB. Sorry to hear about this.
Jesus, didnt see this coming. So long Turd Ferguson.
P
His delivery definitely took some adjusting to but once you did, holy hell was he a funny dude.
RIP.
Wow, didn't expect that. Too young.
Man, he was one of my favorites. Cancer sucks. 
Great segment from Howard Stern and Norm there. I hadn't seen that so thanks John Welsh.
A true legend. The guy would steamroll anything and everything. One funny SoB. RIP.

Facebook had served me up that video recently. Upon reading this news I thought I'd post the link. I didn't realize that Letterman had been such a staple of his career.
Consider that this was a dude making cracks about dying from cancer, while fighting cancer. Damn.

He was definitely an acquired taste. I got him.
Big fan here. I still say he was the best Weekend Update host that SNL has ever had.
If you have Peacock, they have a collection of his SNL skits up right now. It includes 3 episodes of Celebrity Jeopardy.
Big fan here as well.. Norm Macdonald has been making jokes about cancer for a while, and him not really saying he was dealing with is very in character:
I'm totally ok with this becoming a thread where we just post funny Norm clips
The best part of the best comedians is that nobody is off limits
Definitely went on a Norm clip binge last night. Hilarious. Thanks Norm. RIP.
Yep, I was bummed when I heard the news yesterday. One of the all-time greats. His acerbic, deadpan style just killed me. RIP.
There was a story, I hope is true, that Norm wanted to play Burt Reynolds on Celebrity Jeopardy and have the real Burt Reynolds come out, coldcock Norm's Burt, and take his place. And be even dumber. Burt Reynolds was completely on board. And then Norm got fired.
What a skit that would have been.
In reply to Appleseed :
That would have been epic.
I keep hearing rumblings that a big reason he was fired was for calling out OJ repeatedly (which totally tracks with his personality). But ya know, this being the internet and all I have seen no actual proof.
In reply to iansane :
Its pretty much confirmed that he got fired over making more and more savage jokes about OJ. Some exec was friends with OJ and got all butthurt over it. Years later Norm Macdonald tried to get OJ on his podcast and I guess OJ was on board but then his lawyer put two and two together and wouldn't let him go on
