OK, over/under on how many times the Norm MacDonald ‘chairman of the board’ bit shows up in this thread!
He seemed to go out of his way to confuse the audience, just to see if he could get them back on his side.
I loved his roast of the roast of Bob Saget.
He’s no stranger to making us feel awkward about death.
“Please don’t make me laugh at this.”

Norm’s loss will be lamented by some, just as Conan’s abbreviated stint on The Tonight Show is lamented by some.
I bet it’s spelled B - O - R - E - D!
Jesus. RIP.
He later apologized for his comments.
I remember on his podcast show that he looked somewhat bloated in the face and thought he might be on steroids. But it was confusing because he didn’t seem sick.
Was he a heavy smoker? He always had a cigarette in his mouth/fingers (unlit) for his podcasts. Sad news. He really was a comedic genius.
So much, this. It does go fast even in bad times.
RIP, Norm.
Norm’s sense of humor in a nutshell:
I agree with Conan O’Brien. Norm was a unique voice, often imitated but never equaled. Like Jon Stewart, I often found myself laughing at Norm bits that in the back of my mind I knew I shouldn’t be laughing at, and yet, there it was. He will be greatly missed.
