Wow, that really sucks. One of the best comedians of all time. Did not know he had cancer.

 

[Gimlet]

RIP, I am such a fan

 

[Nacho]

RIP...one of the best.

 

[Bizet]

Terrible news to wake up to. Norm and Patrice O'Neal were my two favourite comedians. RIP.

Awe man, big fan.

yeah, I thought he looked horrible, and just aging poorly. They said he had cancer for 9 years.

Sorry to hear he lost his fight, but surviving cancer for nine years is actually pretty exceptional. God bless his family and loved ones.

He was one of the best to do it, and a real Canadian gentleman in a time severely lacking them.

RIP Normie. You will be remembered fondly and with love.

A comedian's comedian.



Another gem performance from Bob Saget's roast. Everyone one ups the other with dirty, nasty, denigrating jokes and here's Norm with jokes from the 1950s Catskill circuit.


One of SNL's best skits because of Norm. If you're a Letterman fan, this is incredibly and deeply hilarious on so many levels.



Closing David Letterman's run. Touching.

Norm was the funniest guy ever, and always seemed like a good man. I'm glad I got to go see him live once not long before he stopped doing shows.

Norm on battles with cancer:




If the 9 years thing is true he already had cancer himself at this point.

Norm MacDonald called out an edgelord anti-Christian comedian on "Last Comic Standing".

Norm was brilliant and a real comedic genius. A few years back, I sent a copy of his book to his agent's address I found online somewhere with the hopes that he could get it to Norm to sign, and included $50 for the effort.

I got my book back several weeks later, along with the cash, signed about 5 times... and this note: To (me), God Bless. Norm Macdonald.

Good man.

Norm was /ourguy/

So disappointed and sad to hear Norm died but then relieved and happy when I learned he was a Christian. Rest in peace Norm.
