"I didn't even know he was sick" Norm, you genius! You have us all repeating your punchline.

[@GeoffNelson]

I used to think Norm was fearless, then I saw Jeff Ross wearing those shorts and crossing his legs.

[@MASJYT]

He shaves his legs and wears pink shoes, what a fruity guy.

Can we all thank him for not wearing a mini skirt ?!

[@ylette]

I just love imagining a young Norm saying goodbye to everyone after having bombed, and enjoying the awkwardness.

[@alvareo92]

You can just picture him saying it with that genuine smile in his eyes, must’ve confused the fuck out of everybody

I just bought his book and I came here to find someone talk about that.

I snort-laughed snot out of my nose when he said that. 😆 Goodnight. Thanks for coming.

[@eviloverlordsean]

My fave Norm bit was when he went on the Daily Show in '06, and immediately started riffing on the DEATH of Steve Irwin, "The Crocodile Hunter"... and Jon stifling laughter, going, "please don't make me laugh at this..."

[@roems6396]

“You know who’s really pissed about it? The crocodiles....because he was killed by some fruity fish.” FFS Norm is effortlessly hilarious.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

You hear who died?? THE CROCODILE HUNTER! Can you believe it?!

When he said "did you know he was sick?" Just made me instantly laugh. Norm was a genius. Bigger man than any of us.

[@daveminion6209]

Norm, a great legend in comedy, will always be missed. But his life and his fearless determination to his craft and blaze his own trail will always be celebrated . A true treasure who took no prisoners. God bless him.

[@mattkess3156]

Everyone who has a personal Norm story is always completely in awe of him. Greatest standup, joker writer, etc. to ever live. No one compares.

[@InsidePhil]

I know.. he really understood the inner mechanizations of the character and what makes him click and how he got his scars. There will never be another like him.

Jeff Ross: Tells a Norm story about playing the clubs with him Howie Mandel: Tells a Norm story where he describes a famous Letterman appearance he saw

[@Pat10Ireland]

Thought to myself "Someone could have a very popular podcast if all their guest just told their own Norm MacDonald stories." Howie has done it!

[@JeffreyGillespie]

It says so much about Norm that every comic who speaks of him reveres him and gets choked up when they do. Truly the 🐐

[@UltraInstinctLink]

"I wonder if he's doing it now?" Norm's in his prime up there right now telling God a joke that goes nowhere and he has eternity to drag it out. Bless that man. Truly a legend amongst the greatest of comedians. I'm gonna miss that ole chunk of coal ❤

[@fezzik7619]

If only those Bronze Age fairytales were true. In Norm’s case I almost wish they were. He exists now only in the memories of thousands of adoring fans. Thanks for everything Norm

[@UltraInstinctLink]

@@fezzik7619 Yeah the religious stuff really isn't my bag of tea, but Norm believed in it, or at least in God. I can respect that in a person, particularly people like him who don't force those values/opinions onto others.

[@fezzik7619]

@@UltraInstinctLink unfortunately as an atheist, people constantly force their beliefs on me they “worry about the damnation of my soul” and warn me to repent because I’ll be judged blah, blah blah.

[@leopoldstotch7711]

I can tell the I'm not Norm KZbin crowd will *LOVE* this video, Jeff Ross explaining everything we love about Norm and then hitting us with that "funny how he's gone NOW" referencing cancel culture was just so deep Great video Howie and team, you're adapting to the podcast game seamlessly

[@daBEAGLE1017]

I think its wonderful. Love Norm, Jeff and the Im Not Norm channel.

Norm and Patrice 2 of the best to ever do it, taken too soon and admired by all other comics around them.

I have Norm jokes swimming in my head 24/7, and the other day my mom was making Ham for dinner. It took a lot of self-control to keep the joke inside all day, but when dinner was ready I said, "My doctor said I need to get healthy and that I should start juicing. I don't think he meant ham juice though.".

[@moira6443]

Me too and I'm an old lady. I have been shocking all my fellow bridge players at the bridge table with Normisms!!!

I actually forgot Norm had passed away, like double bummer, the 1st time I found out in September 2021, and today because I'm 48 and have short term memory loss, RIP NORM McDonald, a true legend of a comedian, and human being!

[@wittkrieg]

That reminds me of this other thing that happened a score years before......

[@drewprotzman5957]

As a late beginner in doing Standup comedy I spent many nights sick with a sickness watching Norm MacDonald clips/bits. He provided a lot of healing to so many. He was an “against the grain” comic and we loved him for that. I just wish/hope he could hear somehow on how much he means & meant to so many

So glad I got to meet him at my job before his passing. I almost called him Turd Ferguson when I was checking him in at the gate at my job. He has such a great warm presence, even for the short time we met.

[@Itelkner]

That's great. Norm exuded that spirit. I walked right past him once without realizing it until later. He was by himself fiddling with his phone. I wish I had noticed him earlier so I could have shaken his hand and told him how many moments of uplift he gave me and thank him for it.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

Norm roasting the Clinton's. To their face and not committing suicide shortly after. Is the greatest norm story of all time IMHO.

[@joeburton1232]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@PowerfulKundalini]

Norm was a true man of his time. The world was absurd to him, and he accepted whatever was reality when most people would not. For example being fired from snl. He took everything in stride.

[@MrHitfromthabong]

great job howie, talk about Norm more and your show is actually funny!

If you look at Don's wikipedia, thefirst and most notable thing mentioned was his firing of Norm. What a thing to be remembered for.

[@huohization]

I can imagine a genius like Norm playing cards and Vos going "Heresh the thing..."

[@TheGroundskeeper]

Howie, Groundskeeper here. In the spirit of Norm and his Andy Kauffman-esque ability to always have an outer layer to the story you see, I invite you as my sole witness to a courthouse wedding (we each bring one and sadly we both have no family). I will offer her no backstory, and I will never explain it. Show up, shake a hand and hug, sign, and leave. Confuse her for the rest of her life. Or at least, get me over the first six months of her second guessing her huge mistake in saying “I do”

I recently heard Downey say that Norm was fired from SNL, because they threatened to fire Downey but Norm responded with I won't do Update without Downey, so they responded with well you're fired too. Downey said Norm only told him years later Norm was not initially the one being fired. But yes, the OJ jokes is what got the whole move to fire going. Stand up guy that Norm (double entendre intended).
