My all-time favourite Norm clip is a bit long but super worth it.

Really like Norm MacDonald. Sad to die at just 61 years old.
That's too young in nowadays world.

wasn't a big fan of his Weekend Update stint on SNL but found his Burt Reynolds impersonation, especially on Celebrity Jeopardy, to be hysterical

A bit raunchy but this monologue from the ESPYs is him throwing 100 mph heat.  Real good.

Watched that this morning. It's amazing. Hilarious and also amazing to have had the ability to stand in front of that crowd and tell those jokes (especially that closer) and keep that little smile he always had... I find it amazing. He was always a guy that kind of lived in his own timezone.  True original.

My all-time favourite Norm clip is a bit long but super worth it.

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

“I’m pretty sure, 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.”

This can be raunchy too, a clip form Deuce Bigalow, but lordy did he live up to his McDonald name with that Scottish accent.

TP...always loved the Celebrity Jeopardy skits. They were among the very best recurring skits in the shows long, long history of great recurring skits. I think I've seen most of them and whenever I re-watch them, it still makes me laugh out loud.

Ended up listening to Norm for a good 3 hours yesterday.

I'ma miss that dude.

There's some real interesting stuff he'd been saying about battling cancer. And about how he would do it all privately. Because he didn't wanna do that to his family, and he didn't wanna get any sympathy...

I appreciate that.

.edit: here's that particular video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAp-igcRhMQ
