It seems the first couple of years he gained a lot of weight (meds? Depression?). Then for the past 3 or so years he lost a ton of weight and aged like 10 years in the matter of 3. You can definitely tell something was wrong. He also began to do bits about death and cancer, probably his way of facing the inevitable. He was my absolute favorite comic, there will never be another Norm.

Norm sat in a bomb like it was a hot jacuzzi. Norm didn't tap-dance to please Barbara Walters, or an NBC executive, or THE COUNTRY'S MOST NOTORIOUS MURDERER. Norm MacDonald taunted a MUDERER AS THE TRIAL WAS HAPPENING. Sorry for the caps, but I lived in that time, and it really was crazy and ballsy, like Evel Knievel. Norm MacDonald was brave, hilarious, and unrelenting. Norm defied cancel culture before that was even a thing; in that the "powers that be" rejected him, but he couldn't be stopped. NORM DEFIED CANCER. The general population didn't adore him like he deserved, but that man ALWAYS got his laugh. It could be one guy in the room howling, and you just knew it landed where it was intended. Late night hosts got him. WE got him. Norm loved us, and we loved him back. Some joke; somewhere; Norm touched us all.

Norm was an extremely intelligent, well-read guy and that comes across in interviews he did both as host and guest. The fact he never cared if he bombed (he'd work the bit ever harder if that happened) made him legendary, because you knew he trusted his material and was going to ride that pony off into the sunset. I was used to seeing his brother Eric reporting on the CBC, and it didn't come as a great surprise that Norm would likewise be smart as a whip. Back when he first started hosting "Weekend Update" he'd suddenly make jokes about anal rape in prison, and did so in such a casual manner that you knew this guy was going to go for the jugular without any regrets. I think his delivery changed how "Update" functioned. The news of his passing was understandably a gut shock to everyone, and I think if people had heard Norm died from having the biggest balls in comedy they'd pause and say "Yeah, I could see that." Farewell to a legend.

For most comics, a regular person could repeat the bit word for word for their buddies and it would still more or less land. Norm Macdonald could do a bit that would leave the crowd rolling, but if you repeated it for your friends at the bar, you'd just sound like an idiot. Even if you just read it in print, the bit where Norm described the unspeakable crimes of Albert Fish and then ended it with "He was a real jerk!" That's not funny.

He believes male comedians are funnier than female comedians, but does he hate women? No! He even gave shout outs to a couple he respects. Not everyone is going to think like him, or like you, and we should be celebrating that, not condemning it like what’s so prevalent in this collectivist hive-mind society.

Still caring about people but not giving a fuck for the right reasons is one of the best skills in life. It's probably why Norm was able to handle such a harsh disease with total privacy and grace. He wanted his life legacy to be one of pure joy and comedy until the the very end.

Bill Burr is one of the most genuine comedians out there. Keep in mind that comedians need angles to make some jokes work but he pretty much is his own angle. He can absolutely wreck a person, group, or concept. He can also have moments like this where he elevates people that deserve it and it is just as good.

I played cards with Norm for a few hours around 15 years ago at a casino in Arizona. I loved Norm, and I was incapable of being cool about it, and I guess I kept staring at him. At one point he caught my attention and just said, "C'mon man... it's just me." I felt like a jerk, and then he flashed that Norm smile and said, "Let's play some cards, huh?" And that was one of my very best nights. Later on that night I would also welcome my new son into the world amidst a barrage of unnecessarily angry questions like, "Where have you been?!?" And, "Why do you smell like smoke?!?", but that time with Norm was priceless to me. I don't know why she was so mad, there hadn't even been any abduction attempts yet... Anyhow, I'm just going to keep watching Norm videos over and over, and pretend Norm isn't dead, he's just disappeared, and is off somewhere serving a youthful porpoises.
