Norm MacDonald has passed away...

He had cancer for 10 years. Kept is secret from friends and family.

I've never been sadder about a celebrity passing away. For me, he was on a level way beyond any other comedian. It feels like I lost a friend of the family.

RIP Norm MacDonald.

Or that is what the Germans would have you believe.

Absolutely one of my favourite stand-up comedians of all time. RIP.

 

[GameBoy27]

One of the most brilliant comedians of all time. His voice and delivery were the best. What a loss to the entertainment world. RIP

I hear Frank Stallone and NAMBLA are really happy.

From Quebec City, his roast of Bob Saget was priceless.

 

[Brill]

He was an excellent Colonel Sanders.

Classy to the end. Norm was my favorite Canadian comedian. He never took prisoners, never pulled punches, never compromised on stage and was absolutely fearless as a performer. Job well done, Sir. RIP.

Sad feeling like when John candy died.

Quirky but not always cozy. I saw him for the first time in 1985. Loved the bit about quitting smoking. How it was going to make him a new man and everything would be different. Until you realize you are the same loser you always were but now you don't have any damn cigarettes.
He was sick for 10 years and kept it a secret. Stoic guy.
Amazing mimic. My fave was his Burt Reynolds.

Fav on comedians in cars/coffee

To reference one of his bits, I wonder if the cancer jumped out of his body and fu*!ed his wife.
RIP Turd Ferguson.

His classic final Letterman performance:

Note to self.
Don't... get... cancer.

Dirty Work: written by Norm McDonald, directed by Bob Saget remains an under appreciated classic. It gets funnier with repeat viewing...I nearly popped a hernia on the third viewing.
