    If I'm having a bad day, I'll go rewatch his SNL 'shitting on OJ' clip collections....the thing that apparently lost him the job.

    I didn't know him by name, but recognised his face as Larry Sander's guest (along with Henry Winkler) when Hank's sex tape has been leaked.

    I started watching some clips that people had posted, very very funny https://twitter.com/PrayForPatrick/status/1437859870120849412

    and the 'Moth joke' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3LMSflEN54

    Not a name that meant anything to me but the Daytona Tortugas play-by-play announcer cut through the game last night saying how much Norm and his comedy meant to him and his family.

    I was reading on another forum that his book is very funny:

    A write up in Variety
    https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/nor...kes-1235064624

    Makes the good point that he tended to zag where others zigged. Also contains some funny links.

    A great shame. On the 'battle with cancer' thing - a phrase I've never liked - Norm had this to say https://twitter.com/byDavidGardner/status/1437850987155361795?s=19

    If that's a nod to his bit about Hitler being dead then bravo.

    I'm beginning to think that this cancer is a real jerk.

    RIP Norm Macdonald.

    He didn't look great in recent years, but obviously no one knew he was sick.

    Such a unique comedic voice, there really was no one else out there like him.

    Nobody did, apparently. He kept it quiet.

    Really sad to hear this. We used to tape the Norm Show because it was on in the middle of the night and then watch it at lunchtime.

    We still laugh about Billy who stole a comb.

    "Well, Billy, I might be a disgraced ex-hockey player who was banned from the sport and sent to prison for betting on my team's performance, but you stole, Billy! You stole a... comb!? Oh well, come back when you stab someone."

    And wiener dogs were never the same again.
