Anthony saying "I wish I'd been nicer to him" is exactly why Norm kept it private
Yes
Bingo. Perfectly said.
I think he was joking when he said that. If he had made it public he would have 100% turned it into multiple hilarious bits.
I'm holding out. I think this is Norms best joke yet. Tomorrow he'll finally be on Rogan.
No. Norm didn't want to garner sympathy so he kept it a secret. Not because of someone's opinion of him.
Cancer one of the top killers in the United States…
Another Top Killer : Oj Simpson
This comment needs to be higher
Norm's cause of death?
You guessed it. Frank Stallone.
He would have loved this.
Or so the Germans would have us believe…
I can hear it in his voice
One of Norm's many running jokes 'So and so died? I didn't even know he was sick."
Now he gets Howie to say it about him 7:05
Even in death Norm tells a joke by getting others to unwittingly say the punchline.
Absolute Legend.
I’m sure he only told this joke once. Name another time other than hitler
More he knew it was hacky and uncreative to just respond like that. If you actually knew them you would know. One of the few none Hollywood people to sneak through somehow not to mention he threw the contradictions in their faces constantly as you pointed out! Sad they did Anthony like this the producer should have first waited until the guest stopped speaking then just came over the headphones and warned them about some bad news they just received! Also posting this clip before the actual Podcast came out is trashy as well. But when you garner less than 30k in subs you have to do something to move content right?
That’s literally what everyone said, and it’s disrespectful and wrong to pretend he kept his illness quiet because he wanted people to say that joke. That’s just a dumb joke he made because he knew people would say it about him, it doesn’t have anything to do with his actual motives or how he felt. If you actually want that listen to when he was on Chris Hardwicks podcast. They TALK about people who died of illness and kept it secret from everyone, norm literally talks about his hero Richard Farnsworth who did that exact thing and he said how much he admired it and how it was the right thing to do. For fucks sake he even SAYS “I might have some life ending illness right now and you don’t even know” or some shit TO Chris Hardwick and he just laughs it off because of course he didn’t know Norm actually had one at the time. He kept it secret because he didn’t want people to speculate on it, or judge his work BY that. Which is exactly what people like you keep doing you act like he was some genius who kept his cancer secret Bc he was the best comedian ever. He kept it secret because of that idea, he had said how Richard Farnsworth would of one the Oscar if he had said he had cancer or whatever he had but he didn’t. Norm knew people would overate his comedy and big him up for having cancer after his death, and you people think you’re so much better then these comedians who actually did know him and respect him. Trying to shit on them when you’re taking his death and trying to make it this deep comedic statement just so you can feel like norms death somehow was a positive thing
I didn’t even know he was sick is a comment that’s an inch long and a mile deep.
It targets the deliverer, the deceased and is delivered in a way that leaves Norm in an unassailable position.
The GOAT
@@byHexted tldr
When Jeselnik said he would have treated him better, that's probably exactly why he kept quiet.
“and 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.” Norm MacDonald.
thanks for being the umpteenth person to say this today on youtube
@@TheImmortalLowlife It is also ironic that the bit is about the absurdity of heroism in relation to cancer and now people are using that quote to make Norm's death to cancer heroic.
He knew that too, it's still a UA-cam cliche for attention getters. Nothing to do with norm in the long run.
Wow....
I actually just thought it was funny not heroic, and yes no jokes or quotes on norm videos are (edit: acceptable to be) overused or said for the “umpteenth time”
Norm keeping this a secret because he didn't want the pity. A true legend that deserves the utmost respect.
He’s a hero or as a real norm fan would say he’s a school teacher
@@robertfrench8933 Goddamn, am I going to miss that guy. Celebrity deaths usually don't mean anything to me personally, but there's something about a great comedian that always hits me hard. Same with Robin Williams, Greg Giraldo, Chris Farley, Patrice O'Neal. To me, they provide us with the best kind of entertainment we can get. Laughter really is the best medicine, and the world got sadder today...
@@globalistgary213 all deaths have some meaning
He didn’t get the pity but for sure got the respect.
@Fam Alam i always thought he was a deeply closeted homosexual.
His comment to Charles Woodson at the ESPY’s was pure gold:
“The Heisman Trophy. They can never take that away from you….unless you kill your wife and a waiter.”
I'm pretty sure Norms last words were a dig at OJ getting away with murder. RIP Norm.
@@126Swanky or Hitler being a real jerk.
Lmao it still hits every time.
After Norm died, Simpson's publicist delivered a statement on behalf of the Juice that read: "Mr. Simpson gives his condolences on the loss of Norm Macdonald, who was a thorn in my client's side for years but who had a long career as an much-loved but oft-misunderstood comedian. When Mr. Simpson learned of Norm's death, he was almost as shocked as Norm was when he saw OJ jump out of the bushes and stab him to death with his favorite knife, Cancer."
@@prometheuszero9 thanks . . . awesome.
Anthony stating, “I wish I had been nicer to him” is the reason that he kept it from people. He didn’t want to be treated differently because of his illness. I respect him so much more for that.
And his doing that teaches a good lesson. A final joke, with a sort of lesson at its core.
I respect him for being a private person. Brave in life and death.
@@JmO-ee1bi “He died? I didn’t even know he was sick” Norm set up his own passing as a grand joke.
Norm would have hated it if he went easy: HATED it
@@bernlin2000 Absolutely!
The fact that they were talking about cadence and originality in comedy just before finding out about Norms passing is beyond coincidence
yeah, i thought they were talking about Norm instead of Jeselnik
Are you implying that somehow they have something to do with his death?!!
@@filosofotacio8950 no its just norms comedic timing, dark or not, is always on point. may his soul rest in peace!
He needs to shut up and bring me a giant turkey leg.
@@filosofotacio8950 How do you even come to that conclusion based off this comment? To me it read as OP saying Norm embodied those qualities so much so that it's only fitting they happen to be talking about it prior to hearing the news
When Anthony said “I wish I’d been nicer to him” it reminded me of a quote by Robin Williams that goes: “everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”
Thanks iwuz, that’s a great quote
Good quote
Its ironic b/c that is exactly the type of statement that made Norm NOT want to make it public. He didn't want sympathy or to be treated different.
I think Jeselknik was joking when he said that.
robin also quoted Lord Buckley when he said " people are a lot like flowers, its been a pleasure just strolling through your garden.
Norm talked about his Dad's fatal heart attack. Well wishers said "He's in a better place". Norm said "I don't know about that? We found him on the floor and I think being on the bed with the orthopedic pillow that I bought him had to be much more comfortable"
@Dax Dexico But he's not in a box in the ground as a man of faith.
He was cremated.
@Dax Dexico His comedy is recorded, he'll live forever.
He talked about death a lot, said Anthony. Also, he WAS Death. In Family Guy.
Adam Carolla was Death, not Norm.
@@untilidie He was death first on the show, and honestly he was better for the role imo.
@@1iknow After that, if your real name is Kay, and you have one eye, well.... a pale shadow of Norm, but a fair enough salute.

I fink dats bad remember when *insert autistic joke here*
I like what Conan said - I will never laugh so hard again - generationally great talent....
Oh, he's easily one of the top 10 comics of our era in my mind. We'll say from 1980 to 2020.
True.
Don’t know why Conan didn’t have him on anymore tho.
@@Eric_the_miserable_midget conan is establishment
I saw that today. Conan and Norm were very close.
Who would have ever imagined Artie Lange would outlive Norm Macdonald? RIP Norm, legend.
Arte lost that bet!!
artie is only 53 so may not outlive Norm.
And so did Bob Dole
The inside of Artie’s nose is literally gone from all the coke and he’s still kicking
I was just thinking that. Watched the part in Dirty Work where Don Rickles is hysterically berating them and I thought Rickles would outlast Artie lol.
Anthony was truly blown away there for a moment. Mouth is literally agape.
Not like Anthony either I mean complete shock
Not the first time someone was blown with Anthony’s mouth agape
he talked about it on his podcast, he was definitely shocked but also pissed that Howies guys pulled that up on screen in the middle of the podcast, and then they put this clip up not an hour after the pod was done ... who wouldn't be pissed and shocked. anything to get some views
@@goosemack3587 That kind of thing should have been held until advertisement break. Told to them then, and let them decide how to break that.
His mouth isn't a grape
The end of the Cosby story was Norm continued to stand by the BS number, and only when Cosby heard Norm discussing his father's passing (on TV) did he realized what had happened. Then he sent Norm a room full of flowers at SNL with a note offering his condolences.
Thx!!
I believe Cosby called Norm and said something to the effect of, "I regret to inform you that your father has passed away some years ago." I think he sent the flowers, too.
Thank you
So he's not all bad...
"I'll bet board is spelled B-O-R-E-D" one of the funniest lines ever.
The funniest part about it is before he said that Conan said do something with that you freak. Then Norm nuked it.
Conan: "She's in it! (blatantly looks at card) Courtney Thorne Smith!"
Thank you. Hard to explain how fucking great that line was, all I could think of when I heard. But unless you saw it...
Specially coming right after Conan told him: do something with that you creep!🤣 rest his soul norm!🥲🙏🏼
The funniest line ever delivered
Anthony visibly shook. I know he was a huge admirer of Norm. Rip you ole chunk of coal. You're a diamond now, forever.
Those last two sentences you wrote were just awesome.
"I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you. Plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes. You're all diamonds."
@@james7275able thanks
No. Still very coaly.
I was crying in the street when i heard.
His genius clean set at Bob Saget's roast is legendary.
Never seen Anthony so shocked before. I'm surprised they didn't stop the interview for a moment or so for some silent reflection. I'd have to gather my gather feelings before just going into discussing him as a past-tense thing out of nowhere.
I bet norm was actually pissed he didn’t die on 9/11 just for the bit.
911? That reminds me of that tragedy.
not the greatest name for an airline
But 9/11 WAS a national tragedy…
@@dEcmircEd came in last for customer satisfaction
Norm walked through blood and bone on 9/11 in NYC looking for his brother. Brother was in northern Canada.😂
Norm cared about comedy so much that even til his dying day he told almost no one about his illness...he didn't want people and fans to worry about him...he wanted them to remember his comedy instead...he was protecting his comedy, and for that he deserves legendary respect... Thanks Norm for always putting the laughter of others 1st... RIP
It would also be funny if he told lots of people but then told them all to keep it secret
Maybe he didn't want OJ to feel too at ease.
Also posthumous joke. He got everyone to repeat his line "I didn't even know he was sick". I can't think of anyone else delivering a joke like that. So good.
“I wish I would have been nicer to him”
Precisely the reason he kept it a secret.
Total legend. Much Respect
Norm and charlie murphy both are strong men who didnt disclose their health problems at all. True legends. True men.
yeah, Charley too dude.
His moth joke on Conan,is one of greatest ever
I just re-watched that, so so funny
My favorite. “Gregario”🤣
It’s actually not his joke. It’s been around for decades.
I was watching that and a few other clips of his the night before he passed away...
@@PapagenoMF It isn't his joke, but his timing and delivery even just with that joke is unique
Another interview saved by Norm Macdonald!
This is really funny. Good one.
And RIP Norm.
Jeselnik talking about telling a 5 minute joke as the news breaks… Unbelievable.
I feel like Norm was watching this moment, and has that classic smirk on his face. RIP Mr. MacDonald.
Norm was such a genius that he got Jeselnick to make himself look like an ass without ever having to insult him
Hes an atheitard bogan
“I had perhaps the greatest Bill Cosby story ever, now it’s not in the top 10,000.”
"I idolized Bill Cosby growing up. I loved him, and I wanted to be just like him. I never liked his comedy..."
the more I hear about this Cosby guy the less I like him
Worst thing about him was the hypocrisy
@@treeheadz I mean, this guy was a real jerk.
@@EA-lc3ht I disagree. I think the worst part was the raping.
"Well, I'm no 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."
R.I.P. Norm Macdonald
I'm cracking up with moist eyes. Thank bro. 😂
Jeselnik: When you tell a story you can have 5 minutes without a laugh and people still be interested in the story...
Norm: So this moth walks in a podiatrist's office...
Comment masterpiece.
Perfect comment! You made me tear up a little
Good call
This is absolutely a dream of Norms, the timing is absolutely perfect, I just assumed they were already talking about him because it was so related
”…and my other boy, Alexandria…Doc, this is the hardest pill to swallow - I think I no longer love him.” ”I sometimes think I’m a spider even though i’m a moth”
At first, I hated this, since his death was so fresh. Until Jeselnik said, "I wish I'd been nicer to him." Perfect Norm take!
Norm with the last laugh
What can anyone say? Seems that almost no one knew that Norm was ill, so his passing caught everyone unaware. We lost a unique talent, my thanks to Howie and Anthony for their fond memories of a comedy genius.
Damn Anthony looked completely rocked by the news. Everyone loved Norm. He really was the greatest.
He was thinking of all the times he was mean to Norm
I thought he seemed oddly blank
He seemed filled with genuine regret for his behavior towards Norm. I'm glad that he was honest about it too. Very real reaction.
Thoughts and prayers to Anthony
@Red River expressing sorrow for mistreating someone he admired that just lost their life is somehow “making it all about himself.” God, you must be really toxic irl and hate any showing of emotion or vulnerability, hope you grow out of it. And if anything Howie’s the one going “he was a fellow Canadian, we came from the same club” and making it about himself (still an assertion I’d disagree with, given the way they BOTH immediately pivot to fondly sharing stories reminiscing about Norm and sharing their deep admiration and respect)
No one is more of a comic's comic than norm. I've never seen any comedian say they disliked him.
All the best admit he was the best
90’s high school kid…SNL is where we first saw him. Followed him ever since. My favorite comic of all time. Thank you Norm
THE END OF THE COSBY STORY:
was that Cosby legitimately tried to call Norm’s father personally and eventually realized Norm was giving him the wrong number because he couldn’t admit to his idol Cosby that his father was dad.
So Cosby finally put it together and sent a enormous room full of flowers to Norm at the next gig he was hosting to Norm’s surprise, and left him a card that said “i’m sorry for your loss.”
- something to that affect
- what a life lived
It can be very hard to admit that your father is dad.
@@MrMotoflou LOVE this ;P
Cosby's a great guy...if you discount all the raping.
@@MrMotoflou hehe
@@brettbyrd8753 It was really the hypocrisy that got to me
Ending of the Cosby story for those that don’t know was that Cosby sent Norm a bunch of roses with a note saying that he was sorry to inform him that his father has passed.
That Bill Cosby is a stand up guy.
@@ErdricksArmor yes, but the hypocrisy
@@mikewatkins2659 you're right. They say that's the worst part.
Classic Norm Macdonald. The whole story was probably bullshit from beginning to end.
@@ErdricksArmor just ask the ladies
Keeping your struggles from those around you and not being a burden is TRUE COURAGE.
People often look for sympathy when illness comes .. Not our Norm ❤
Real moment from Anthony. He’s always brazen and to see genuine emotion is nice.
Norm had a direct connection to my funny bone. He was so unique, and fearless!
Same here. I always felt I got it when most people didn’t.
I love you norm. You will be missed. Thanks for all the laughs. Make God laugh will ya?
@@Taco_ocaT i’ve been watching all kinds of Norm videos ever since I found out.
@@Dee-gk6zg I remember when he got kicked off of SNL, when I thought he was the funniest guy on the show.
@@Russellsperry Same here.
I really feel like Norm Macdonald has a HUGE surge of young fans that started finding all of his work on UA-cam. I'm starting to look at some old videos of Norm and there was a time where he was way heavier than normal and he'd make fat jokes about himself. My dad was saying, "I bet he was on some sort of steroids while doing his cancer treatment". I bet that is correct.
It’s going to be something else looking back now
@sfairraid 13 Indeed. Very wise man underneath it all. Its often said that he pretends to be the dumbest guy in the room, while actually being the smartest. I wasn't old enough to know of him during his Weekend Update era. But I'm glad to have found him on UA-cam.
For sure. The "I'm Not Norm" channel on UA-cam is such an amazing homage to him. I've watched countless hours of his talk show and radio appearances and he just never failed to entertain. So unique. I'll miss him for sure.
@Peter Evans, Norm taught me what mawkish meant that day.
Your dad wasn't even close to being correct. Macdonald had turned into a big fat slob because he was eating like a big fat slob. He and a couple of buddies would do live narration of the Master's, and he was on camera wiping out buckets of fried chicken. He first started getting blubbery in the late 2000s.
I will really miss his comedy; true legend and champion; can’t imagine the will power it took to keep this under wraps
As a Canadian norm did his country proud I grew up with his comedy always made me laugh
Norm was one of the few comedians that had zero fear of cancel culture and Still felt real. R.I.P. Norm
He also didn’t come across as someone trying too hard to be edgy or go for the shock value.
Norm was cut from a different cloth. A true OG.
Norm is up in Heaven picking blueberries with Henry Fonda.
Because who wouldn’t want to pick blueberries with Henry Fonda?
Beautiful.
Up or down
"This is the part of Heaven where we do jokes!"
I would pay to watch that
Naw, he's telling jokes to Nichole Brown Simpson.
Despite what Norm might have wanted, when Anthony says "I wish I had been nicer to him" it was a beautiful and heartfelt moment. His color changes and there's a bit of emotion in his eyes.
So fucking sad. Finding out while.on a podcast really sucks. You will never be forgotten Norm.
Seeing Jeselnik's raw reaction made this hit all the harder.
This is the first celeb/comic death that actually hurt to hear...We lost one of the greats in comedy today.... RIP Norm we will always remember the laughs
Robin Williams didn’t hurt? Chris Farley didn’t hurt?
Ralphie may?
@@rsoxfan123 I wasn't alive when Chris Farley died, and I liked Robin Williams but wasn't a huge fan like I am of Norm.
Greg Giraldo was probably the first celebrity death that made me shed tears. Norm was probably second. Robin Williams stand-up wasn't very funny. He was better in acting roles, but shocking that his death was suicide.
@@toastedjoe1013 don’t forget about George Carlin’s death
True shock in Anthony's face at 1:07 . He really was at a loss in that moment. RIP Norm McDonald. Such a sad loss
Anthony completely froze for 16 seconds after hearing the news.
This has got to be the first time his fanbase has witnessed him completely vulnerable.
I've been crying on and off all day whenever I think about Norm. I miss him so badly 😥. A giant of comedy and heart.
Me also.Ive never been so upset over the death of someone that i never met.Loved Norm since i was a teenager over twenty years ago.Best comedian of all time.
What about all the dying african kids we hear about. Do you cry for them or just a person you have never met that entertains you through screens. Sounds like your not crying because you had some type of relationship but because you lost a toy that entertains you. Did you cry for all the Afghans that have been and will continue to be slaughtered by the Taliban. Probably not. U need to stop the programming that they have over you
@@anthonywandowicz8084 people must love being around you
@@anthonywandowicz8084 Let people feel what they feel. You have no idea what kind of impact Norm might have had on certain people. You're really going to guilt trip and shame someone... because they're saddened over the loss of someone that brought a lot of joy into their life?
@@anthonywandowicz8084 telling other people how to feel...how authoritarian of you
How many comedians could you rewatch doing the same joke over and over and laugh harder every time? Nobody could touch him.
How many comedians could simply say "9/11" and make you wet yourself?
You said it perfectly and accurately.
Been doing that myself for years. Norm was one of a kind in all the best ways.
I watch the "b-o-r-e-d" clip, the super Dave episode, the moth joke and and a few others at least once or twice a month and still laugh my ass off every time. We'll never have another comic that can compare to that ole chunk of coal.
It’s weird how Howie was just talking about Anthony but he was even more talking about Norm about style
Yeah I figured they were already on topic, didn’t expect the news to break mid convo
@@jvincemusic Same exact thing here.
A good friend of mine has stage four cancer and probably doesn't have much longer. I'm one of the only people she's told because she doesn't want people treating her differently. I totally understand and respect Norm's decision. I'm deeply saddened by his death. He was my comedy idol. It's just so heartbreaking.
Lets hope no one reads ur post as u have just told everyone about ur best freind, remind me to never tell u a sectret
Jeselnik's face of absolute shock is exactly how I reacted when I found out
"You're kidding me!"
"NO!"
Two comedy legends in their own rights hearing about a legend of legends being gone.
How many times can one heart break?
One more counting me.
Mmm, one comedy legend 😉
✌
2? Patrice call jesilnik an open mic’er in my world. That was 15 years ago I guess. Lol.
Anthony isn't a legend lol
Shut up….
Even from beyond the grave, Norm continues to be a genius of comedic timing.
Norm's passing is resonating with people the way Alex Trebek's did. His old talk show appearances are lighting up
on UA-cam.
You know, Alex Trebek was a large part of my growing up and I really loved watching him, his death made me very sad. But Norm hit me harder. There are few comics that can make me laugh as hard as Norm had over the years. I have never been happier going into a handbasket on its way to hell than laughing at a Norm joke.
I never really watched Jeopardy. But Still, Alex's Death Deeply touched me. (it was Actually on my birthday. But that had nothing to do with it) and Now, Norms Death is so very sad. Only a few celebrity deaths have really gotten to me, John Candy, Robin Williams, Darrell Abbott (dime) and Randy Rhoads. It's just sad to lose these talented people who gave the world so much without being able to say a proper Goodbye.
@Hunter Bidenscrackpipe I can Assure you, that they truly Do.
“Yeah she was a good girl…mommas apple pie, the 4th of July…SHE WAS A HOOKER!!!”

My obituary to Norm:
[read as Norm on Weekend Update]
Comedian Norm Macdonald, former Host of SNL’s Weekend Update, passed away. Famous for his dry humor and his love of gambling.
He leaves behind a 1996 Honda Civic, a 2001 Winnebago, fifty tree dollars in cash and 5.6 million dollars in debt.
This joke is dedicated to the memory of Norm Macdonald
well done sir.
Nice tribute!!!
I cried a little.
@@ducky1x3 I don't blame you. Norm is worth tears. 🙏
No dog house either
Huge loss, extremely under rated and under appreciated! Rest in peace Norm
I believe Norm said that seeing Letterman when he was young was a major influence on his getting into comedy. I'm sure the bonding with his father was an influence too
I'm not going to lie I cried like a baby when I found out norm passed,comedy will never be the same. The doghouse joke is my favourite joke ever
You cried? I love norm but I was more shocked cuz I never knew he was sick. But I didn’t know him so crying seems pretty retarded.
You are not the arbiter of when to cry or not, or attachments people make to things that moved them in life. Just because you are closed off doesn't mean those that aren't are "retards". Mirror would do you good. Don't look away for at least 10 minutes.
@@Dem0n_baby Wow, I wanna be just like you when I grow up...you seem so cool!
In honor of Norm I beseech everyone to check his Make a wish kid vid on YT.Darkly hilarious.
@@morbidmanmusic I guess Mike was trying to be funny. They say timing is everything in comedy and he failed miserably. Nothing wrong about getting emotional about someone dying even if you don't personally know them. Try and come out from behind that tough guy shell you live in once in a while. You'll feel better.
Huge shock. What a brave man Norm was, like a dad who doesn't want the kids to know when anything's wrong 🥺🙏
The fact that they found it out as they were doing the live interview shows how authentic these guys are. They had no time to prepare anything and they gave a great tribute despite that
I can’t stop watching “little one liners YOURE KIDDING ME”.
Norm’s fans, friends and family appreciate Anthony’s thoughts and prayers!
I didn't even know about this until just now.. This is devastating, man. I loved Norm, fantastic comedian, amazing storyteller. He had so much presence, even if he wasn't being funny. This is horrible.
Snl and most humans couldn't handle Norm. He was too great for such an average world.
Anthony experienced that uncomfortable moment where he was differentiating his style comedy from ‘story telling’ comedy (which is exactly Norm’s exaggerated style) just as he learned of the news. Ouch - ‘wish I would have been nicer to him’…. All good homey - everyone knows everyone loved him;)
Damn.... Had a rough day, And it just got worse. Been watching alot of Norm lately.. the world needed his humor, especially in this age. Love ya Norm McDonald, where ever you are
Awww man just found out right now through this video. Oh man…. Gonna miss that unique voice and his perspective on life
To see Anthony Jeselnik, of all people react like that, let's you know we have really lost somebody important. He was and will continue to be a legend...
"How long did he have cancer?"
"9 years."
"When did you do Last Comic Standing with him?"
**Anthony nervously doing math in his head**
Gonna miss you Norm
Love listening to you every night for the last 2 years. Fact you loved Norm too makes me respect you even more. 💯
@@Celtic_Iron hah hey! thank you! Yeah, huge Norm fan.
I am about to start listening to your channel and subscribed to it because of that comment
@@PianoMoverSmith1 thank you for subscribing! That wasn't my intention at all with commenting here, but I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the stories
Subbed.
"Laughter is the best medicine," and we just lost a doctor. RIP Norm.
Letting no one know you have cancer for 9 freaking years is pure stoic Norm McDonald. RESPECT. RIP Norm.
0:46 You can see a bright light shining on Jeselnik which I can only assume was a large screen with the story of Norm MacDonald's passing.
I think the control room did the right thing by showing the story as they did. The reaction from both Howie and Anthony was authentic. They were able to pivot for a few minutes and talk about how great Norm truly was. You know who else thought he was a once in a generation talent? You guessed it, Frank Stallone. RIP Norm
The fact that Norm hid his illness from friends and even his own family is heartbreaking. I wonder why he never told anyone? I know he is a very private and shy guy, but... I'm just deeply saddened
His brother said his family knew. Bad reporting.
ua-cam.com/video/vAp-igcRhMQ/v-deo.html
Some people don't want people to know that kind of thing. They hate pity and don't wanna be seen differently than they are used to.
I don’t know the exact quote but in an interview in the past he talked about how he thought it was braver and more respectable to not force your family and friends to suffer with you if you’re terminally ill. Now we know he was apparently talking about himself.
He didn’t want pity or to financially gain from sympathy
Comedy just lost a step. A giant just passed.
It's absolutely heart breaking for all of us. This one hurt.
I cried actual tears for Norm, and I am a freggin android.
"I wish I'd have been nicer to him." That's funny. Norm would laugh.
Imagine keeping it secret from everybody for 9 years. Doing stand-ups, being guest as well as host of talk shows knowing about the cancer is so tough for me. But it is completely unbelievable to me making jokes and laughing about the cancer on stage for years knowing you are dying from it. Huge respect.
This is a seriously sad day that no one saw coming. Norm was a genius who brought nothing but joy and laughter throughout his entire career.
RIP Norm. Nobody better. Someone check on Artie. ♥️
Oh Geeze!!!! You made me remember Artie!!!! Dude! Seriously! You are so right! Someone literally needs to be checking on Artie! Dang… I bet Artie & his constant issues this last decade made it easy for Norm to keep his issues quiet. I have brain cancer & it sucks to bring it up. I’m not ashamed but it just steals the conversation & shuts it down. I have so many stories of learning this lesson when my tumor first happened. I am pretty sick now & I have tried my best to hide it. I am not dealing with that freaking light on me again.
@@nessa2481 I wish you the best with your cancer. I’ve had cancer in my immediate family a few times. I know how difficult it is both physically and mentally. A positive attitude can really make a huge difference. Sending you good healthy thoughts. 😆
Artie put up a video bout an hour ago.
@@Latabrine - Do you mean this one? It’s really just audio but yes, it’s new.

No-fukn-good. Norm deserves a two hour special or even longer.
The best thing about Norm was that he was always Norm. He wasn't afraid to rub people the wrong way, and never gave in to the pressure to be something else, even when he knew it would cost him. That level of integrity and authenticity is a rare thing for anyone, let alone someone in the ever so image conscious world of show biz.
The timing and subject of the conversation when they found out was uncanny.
Yeah for real. Norm was definitely one of those comedians that didn't sound like other comedians in his timing, his cadence. His jokes rarely sounded like jokes. At times you know what the punch line is going to be early on, then he would make you forget about it with some wild story, and then boom there's the punchline. He was so clever, and made it seem effortless. A comedian's comedian.
We’re saddened by this news here in toronto Canada. Loved Norm since we were young, he was the best, and a national treasure, so sad. Condolences to his family, a real man who paved his own destiny and made us wonder and laugh and imagine. RIP Norm
One of the only comics I genuinely wished i would’ve met, a truly stoic and pure comedian, a comedians comedians comedian
His death hit my hard. RIP Norm
It's almost like losing family. We get to know these comedians when we really watch their body of work and feel like we know them. Norm was the comedian's comedian. I have tickets to see him October 9th and Boston and now I'm wearing the shirt today, that I was going to wear to that show. His picture with the words " the old lump of coal".... like we'll all be at some point. We'll miss you Norm, hope I see you on the flip side.😪
I wish I could be a fly on the wall in a room full of his friends and just hear them share all their norm stories. Comedy is so much more than just jokes to me, it’s the lens of which I see life through and selfishly I wish that norm would always be around. I hope his family and friends can find peace as they go through all of this.
I wonder if Jeselnik will send his thoughts and prayers to Norm’s family
Heart broken. Just.....geez. Every time I've sat and watched Norm, in movies, tv, comedy skits, showcases, specials....he has made me laugh more than any other person in the cast or on the bill. The world just got a lot less funny. There are still funny people around but Norm made humour an art which all people could relate to. What a shock. I am so pleased that I have sat watching a true legend for so many years and, honestly, Norm never failed to make me laugh in that way where you watch the bit over and over and it's still as funny as the first time you saw or heard it. Crushed.
I wish I had been nicer to him was a funny line. Norm would’ve approved of that reaction
@Jay people said Patrice was “too confident” (or just a flat out asshole) too. Quit taking roast jokes seriously and bring me a gigantic turkey leg, you fucken nothin’
@Jay yea....that’s kind of his act. I can understand if you don’t like it, I personally have a hard time watching his specials due to his formulaic (albeit funny (subjective, ik)) writing style; innocuous set up, dark turn for a punchline. Innocuous setup, dark turn for a punchline - over, and over again. The act (even for a fan) definitely wears thin after a while. But I do also think it’s good for Anthony that a lot of people aren’t fans of his act, Patrice once said [this is paraphrased] “comedy shouldn’t be everyone in the room laughing: it should be half the people laughing, and half the people horrified” imean look how hated Fallon is, largely due to his unyielding desire to be ‘like-able’
@Jay true true. My personal all-time favorite was Greg Giraldo - another naturally funny, real, genuine, authentic comic with little to no act at all, just him being funny. And there are old tough crowd episodes where you can see him and Patrice going back-and-forth with their shit talk, but it’s clear through all of it that both comics truly have one another’s respect. There’s even an episode where Greg and Patrice are on the couch next to one another and I’ve honestly never seen Patrice talk so calmly, politely and respectfully as he did to Greg in (parts of) that episode
Yea I agree it was a Norm line for sure
Norm is not just a person, he is a symbol. For ingenuity, inocence, honesty, kindness. When people feel sad about his death they are feeling sad for all those things diying as well...
I love how he roasted SNL as a host a year later after they fired him.
I loved Norm. I'm from Ontario, near the greats in comedy from there. Norm, Howie, Harland, and many more. I'm around the same age as these guy. It's sad to hear he's gone, but we must celebrate having the pleasure of his comic genius in our lives.
