Norm, I didn’t just like you.
I loved you.
You didn’t just make me laugh.
You made me cry with laughter.
I’m still crying today.
But when I think of you,
my tears will run down my face with all the memories of all the laughter and all the joys that you brought to all of us.

I can watch this another 1000 times, and still laugh at Norm Macdonald’s Burt Reynolds like I’ve never seen it.

Norm is widely regarded as one of the best comedians of all time, globally adored, and regarded as a true “comedians’ comedian.” MacDonald eschewed traditional jokes in favor of what he and others dubbed “anti-jokes.” Where the comedy wasn’t so much about what was said as it was about how it made the audience feel.
And here is Norm’s final standup on the Letterman Show.
And in one of his final performances, Norm even crushed the coronavirus.
Classic, all the way. Our condolences to Norm’s family, friends, and fans. May he rest in peace.
