RIP Norm Macdonald

love to hear that, but let's establish right now that "doco" is decidedly NOT the shorthand for "documentary". is that guy british or something?

The memorial service will also be a part of the documentary. Spade made it sound more like a roast.

I don’t know what he’ll say after the first long pause, but it will be devastatingly funny

[clapclapclap 9000]

Really looking forward to his autodocography.

ah shit, it's up - I meant to watch it tonight, but forgot about it until just now. It's called "Nothing Special" and it is on Netflix.

i feel the same way, i don't know if i can lose the same person twice.

It's very weird to watch - no audience and he's just working through material. But the interview with Conan, Sandler, Chappelle, etc at the end is amazzzzing. 

[Celery Man 21095]

I think it was this article I was reading recently where it explained that he basically called up his neighbor/producer and said "we're shooting this tonight", and they just set it up in the living room or something. Still haven't seen it but yeah it sounds like production value was at a minimum. Definitely looking forward to Letterman and Conan.

when he’s interviewing them are they aware of his condition?

[Celery Man 21095]

I still have not seen this but my impression was that it was interviews with these folks immediately after they’ve watched the material (recently, after his death).

Post-death. The "special" is ... not good. But it had no time to be, still amazing he did this.

The last bit about his mom was the perfect ending of his life

[Nicole44 22309]

Just finished it! Loved it! 

['stache 22131]

It was clearly material he was still working on and would have been honed by the time it was ready for a real special or large audience. Plenty of gems in there that would have killed. You could tell his delivery would have changed on some of it given more time and some jokes that felt incomplete and which you know would have been perfect eventually. Very enjoyable. I’ll buck the trend and say the thing at the end felt unnecessary. It was stuff everyone had already shared after he passed, very little about the new jokes. I enjoyed it, but Norm’s set was the highlight for me.

During the conversation afterwards, they mentioned his standup show on the evening of March 13, 2020, which was the night before everything shut down. Basically, it was his last gig. Found a couple of clips on YouTube. SIAP

Joke Norm would have been proud of.  

 

reminds me of the OJ joke at the Espys.  Just a great crowd for this.

Norm vs. Bob Bowlsby. Lulz.
