      Because he was Canadian he had a very Canadian view of American politics, which in essence is "it's all a shitshow but I can sit back and laugh at it because this isn't my country anyways."

      It's so sweet, and it clearly makes Saget emotional.

    Norm MacDonald going on The View and calling Bill Clinton a murderer on national TV was nothing short of legendary. Also the fact that his bosses at SNL and the heads of the network it aired on told him to lay off on the OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson jokes, then he went out there on Weekend Update and doubled down on the jokes they just told him not to tell, which ended up getting him fired, was just epic. Though most people will know him because of his many hilarious Letterman and Conan Late Night appearances, my personal favorite Norm moment was during the roast of Bob Saget. They wanted Norm to go out there and be really raunchy and vulgar and drag Saget through the mud like everyone else. Norm said he didn’t want to do that because Bob was his friend, so he went out there and told some old corny dad humor jokes from like a 1950s joke book and bombed on purpose. The crowd was confused and the awkward silence was deafening, and the entire time Norm was relishing in it grinning from ear to ear. To go out there and intentionally do bad in front of a crowd of people and a group of your fellow comedians has to be the bravest thing I’ve ever seen a comic do. Greatest comedian to ever live in my opinion. Glad to see people still keeping his memory alive to this day. 🙌

      Those were always my favorite. He despised that specific type of bias and harpies that would peddle in pandering.

I have loved it a long time but right after Norm died I watched it over and over looking for one spot or blemish in the timing, one line that could have been edited out to make it better in the written word. I still haven't found it. From both a performance and written perspective it is the perfect joke and it is sustained for 12 minutes.

Afterwards it cuts to them and Norm chimes in saying, "it actually looks... easy." And I lost it.

I surprised her with the tickets one morning before I left for work, and only a few hours later the news broke that Norm had passed. He was our favorite.

      I wouldn't call myself "a lib" in the, ehh, uhh, colloquially sense but uhhh, I definitely don't own a, uhhh, red hat! And I have loved Norm's stuff since the Weekend Update days. He is/was the best to ever do it. If you have to prescribe to a tribe in order to like something great or define your personality, you are missing the point of Norm's comedy. If you only like Norm because you see him as someone who is "conservative" and "roasts the libs", you are missing the point.
      Your, and Logan's, prefrontal cortex, may still have yet to develop fully if you don't see the idiocy in both sides and the...hypocrisy...in ascribing by tribal politics, tribal thinking, and self-segregating along politically tribal lines. Everyone is an idiot, myself included. 99.98%+ of all humanity have been barely functioning proto-tards. We all ride the coattails of Copernicus, Einstein, Jonas Salk, Larry Flynt...Dick Morris...the list seems to be dropping off quite precipitously but, uhh, yea, you get the idea.

I also like the stand up where he talks about the disease of alcoholism and another one that's called the 12 minute joke about a missing woman named Janice. His last Netflix special he did from home was really good too.

I'm not an overly sensitive person who cries every time a celebrity dies or anything like that. Norm was very special to me, and he played a huge role in shaping my sense of humor. I stopped watching SNL when they fired him, and to this day he's still my favorite comedian of all time.
