    First off, I'm catching this news right now in real time. Second, I don't want to go to battle over who's the biggest Norm fan, but I've been spreading the gospel for decades. This is the first HH "sells the couch" thread that's actually made me sad. I'm not exaggerating at all that Norm Macdonald is in my top-5 comedians of all time. Not only is he (fight me) the best late night talk show guest of all time (and it's not even close), but his stand-up is incredible. If you haven't watched Me Doing Stand-Up, watch it. Buy it, find it, pirate it, whatever. Fuck, if you can't find it, let me know, and I'll PM you a link.

    Best Weekend Update anchor, and it's not close. Movies were campy but way underrated. Low key amazing standup.

    This one hit hard.

    My top 3/5 too. Robin Williams, Norm, Uh, trails off quick after that. Brilliant, subversive, insightful and still a certain genuine humanity too.
    You can add Dave Chappelle to that, but that's about it

    I’m going to confess I always thought young Norm McDonald was a total cutie. Not Raaawwwwrrr-worthy but I still had a crush on him.

    Chapelle is a national treasure. Norm......I dont even consider him funny in the least. Cringeworthy maybe but not a true talent like Chappelle.
    Dude was funny

    I don't disagree. I just didn't say anything because he died recently. Flag away.
