Norm McDonald, pretty young to go.
He didn't have to do much to make me laugh, one of my favorite comedians

Yesterday my aunt died of cancer. Today Norm died.

Language warning.

Fawning over celebrities and mourning their deaths like they're family has always been cringy in my opinion. That said, this one hurts. He was the last remaining comedian who honored his craft through his willingness to slaughter sacred cows and never bend the knee. He never sold out. Never pandered to a narrative. It feels like he was the last breath of true comedy and something larger died with him. I was fortunate enough to see his show when he came to Kelowna several years ago and it was a real treat, the time flew by way too quickly.

I find it hard to believe that anybody hasn't seen the moth joke he did years ago but if not, it's by far my favorite moment in late night talk show comedy.

I have read many of the tributes out there about Norm Macdonald from his peers.........I thought this one from Jay Mohr was quite accurate......."In a business filled with rock and rollers, Norm Macdonald was playing jazz."

I love that - thanks for posting
