    Norm’s last tweet.

    8CCBF3E5-556B-4AEA-B184-52F72B0C30CA.jpeg

    Other than the 160-odd tweets he made after that. This was his final one.

    The man was so funny.

    His hosting of the ESPYS in the 90s was gold. That OJ joke at the end was..... chef's kiss

    I find old Norm bits popping into my head at random intervals this last week. Last night it was this one:

    I'm going to watch a special of him tonight because I'm in the don't really find him funny camp too, but I tend to like every comedian talked him up after his death so maybe I need to see a whole show of his rather than clips on Youtube.

    But - no , seriously - I was never a fan. But gave it a concerted effort - and once you kinda realise what he's doing, it becomes funnier.
    I'd hate for anybody's first view of him to be that Bob Saget roast... where it seemed to be a long-running bit of deliberately making unfunny "roast jokes".

    I think the story was he was told to be offensive and didn't like being told what to do, so did a bunch of awful jokes from a "101 jokes" book his Dad gave him. So deliberately bombed the set.

    Yeah - I assumed there was some story like that behind it. Didn't bother researching the details.

    Norm Macdonald Shot Secret Final Netflix Stand-Up Special Before Passing

    Norm Macdonald Shot Secret Final Netflix Stand-Up Special Before Passing

    In a comedy first, the late actor-comedian self-shot a final hour of new stand-up to be released in the event of his death: "The material's fantastic. … I hope people appreciate that he did this."
