Looking back at the life and legacy of my dear friend Norm MacDonald. Love you forever, Norm. Listen to Bob Saget’s Here For You now: bit.ly/BobSagetsHereForYouPod
@@siriush100 every year there’s always going to be bad news no matter what. We can’t control it. Its important that we embrace it and focus on the good things in life and the good things to come. We got one life that’s it, and we have to make the most out of it.
@@musiccalgary I can hear his voice in that. Bet he'd be making so many jokes about it with him. Edit: I can see his fucking smile and squinted eyes too after saying it ahaha
@@HughMorristheJoker Exactly. So one can hope that there is, because thats just it, we don't know. Realistically I'd assume we just die and thats it, but since we can't really ask the dead what happens after, neither side can really prove what happens after we die, and it gives a lot of people closure to hope that they still live on somehow. At the very least, they live on in our memories.
@@iona6489 I'm glad you've discovered Norm finally. His comedy is brilliant. Watch as much of his stuff on CZcams that you can. He's my all-time favorite. The same happened to me when I saw a comedian named Mitch Hedberg. Saw him and said, oh Ive gotta go see him! Little did I know, he passed away years before I knew about him. It's never too late to appreciate a comedic genius.
The fact that comedy central cut the bits of Norm roasting Bob where they felt it bombed is the most damning bit of evidence that comedy central never got Norm at all, and now 10 months later we're mourning both of them. 😭
When my son died, would lie down day after day, month after month with my dog and every Norm clip I could find. Only Norm could drag you out of that hell. Thanks, Norm. 💕
OOF. lady. *(or bud) Oh God, that's nuclear winter. I was *already* crying. 🤦♂️ Im going to go open my wrists in the bathtub 🛀 excuse me.. No, I'm really super sorry, that literally is the saddest thing maybe I've ever heard. Norm meant a lot to me too, but, I feel like you win this one.
Looks like some of us immediately went here when we heard the news of bobs passing. We loved both norm & Bob as fans but they felt like close friends. This hurts. I cried when I first listened to this. Now..just 3 months later, crazy. Rip Bob & norm
2 legendary comedians that many of us grew up with when people actually watched tv and not streaming. These guys made so many of us laugh and there won’t be more like them thanks to the “ woke” culture where everything is offensive and not funny anymore. RIP Norm McDonald and Bob Saget . Thanks for all the laughs
I’m so grateful that Bob left us this wonderful gift, shortly before his own time was up - not just moving tribute to Norm, but bearing his soul and showing the world who Bob Saget really was - deeply compassionate, concerned and loyal to his friends, and valuing the little things above everything else. To me, a deserved punctuation for a life lived with kindness. Rest in Peace.
I watched this a few months ago when Bob was remembering his friend Norm Macdonald. And now just a few months later after Bob recorded this on CZcams, we’re now remembering him. Rest In Peace, Bob. You were America’s dad and the best host America’s Funnest Videos ever had. You will be sorely missed, but not forgotten.😢🌹
"Honor him by getting him", Norm was a guy who would look into the camera from behind that news desk, definant and looking for his people, like he knew, despite the dead audience in the room, he had you going at home. He always made me feel special, just for appreciating his talent. No other performer has ever done that and I'm gutted for all those who knew the man. If he could make me feel like that, how did he make you feel? Thanks Bob, for sharing and honoring.
I ran into Norm on Queen west in Toronto back in the 90’s. I was walking west, he was walking east. I looked up, I was a bit startled and said “Hey! Norm!” He replied “Hey!You!” I loved that moment. We made eye contact. It was really neat. All of you folks who actually knew him are really lucky people.
The picture at 14:08 fucking kills me. In less than a year, we lost three of those four guys. Norm, Bob, Gilbert, the only one left is Jeff. Shit's fucked up, man, three phenomenal talents.
Feels weird shedding a tear over someone you've never met. You get the "what am I doing?" feeling in the back on your mind. But Norm was one of a kind, and it really sucks knowing that you're never going to hear from him ever again. All the insanity of the world seemed like calm cool waters when Norm was taking it apart, making you laugh, and smiling along with you. There will never be another comic like him, ever. Going to miss him.
100% I’ve been in a massive funk since I heard. I watched him since I was a kid and it feels like I lost a friend, a friend I never met. How crazy am I, huh? 🤣
Same man i'm balling my eyes out over here. Feel like he's the funny uncle i never had. So funny so so smart, omg so smart. "On an infinite timeline having nothing and having something are the same." Taught me alot, made me laugh more than anyone on this planet. RIP
I used to see Norm McDonald at Hennessey's in Manhattan Beach on random mornings. My husband and I often ate breakfast there. He was always sitting out on the front patio where we normally sat. He was always alone and always reading the paper. Always kind to his servers; a true gentleman. I was already such a huge fan because Norm was different. I loved his voice, his cadence and his nonchalant approach to any subject. He made me laugh all the time, but the times that I'll remember most were those times when my life was not that great, and he still made me laugh. At my darkest, watching him and laughing, I had an "aha" moment where I realized that I could laugh (out loud) while going through the toughest times, I would be okay. That if I could laugh while everything around me was falling apart, I knew I would ultimately be okay. Thank you Norm McDonald for the gifts you gave that you were completely unaware of . . . The world is definitely a bit dimmer without your human presence. Rest in Peace always. You were and are so loved.
The moment Bob said he got a text from Norm last week, that just read "I love you" - I completely lost it!! Waterworks activated... Norm was easily the funniest man alive, and the most genuine, caring person to boot! My favorite quote from Norm was when he said to Jerry "It's one thing to make people laugh, but it's another to make them smile." You will be sorely missed you old chunk of coal! Rest now.
I love that Bob said, "all of you who loved him" giving us validation for our feelings of loss. Which feels strange because I never even knew I gave Norm MacDonald that much thought! But I feel terrible, so I realize how much he DID mean to me. That must be a unique gift, to connect on a such a personal level with other people who literally just see you on a screen
I relate so much to your post... I felt like I knew him, like he was speaking to me alone, and that I would meet him one day. I know that sounds crazy, but he taught me a lot about comedy and about humanity and I will miss him terribly, even if I never did meet him in person. No new jokes, no new show makes me unbelievably sad. RIP Norm Macdonald and thank you for everything you did.
4 months later we would lose Bob as well… I can only imagine how norm greeted Bob at the Pearly Gates….. most likely grabbing Farley with him…. ❤️❤️ 😞😞
As you said, Norm texted you a week before he passed with, “I love you.” He was saying goodbye. And you had no idea. How incredibly sad, he didn’t want anyone to see him so sick, even his best friend, wow.
I've never heard Bob saget be so real and genuine and sincere. This is really hard to listen to at times because you could just hear the pain in his voice. I had no idea how close they were. Thank you for sharing this Bob. This is the best tribute I've heard.
Only God can determine where we go when we die. If we are not saved we don't go to heaven. I hope and pray that he was saved because I loved him and I'm really sad about this
I feel the same way. Norm was such a force, such a good influence to a lot of people. In this world today with all twitter trolls and fake people. Norm was always sincere, intelligent and his own self. I cried as an adult man to know we have lost a real genuine person that was funny as hell. I think norm said the following. Dont be sad that he died, be glad that it happened. The force of Norm Macdonald.
I came here because I heard the news. Bob was a caring and loving man. If norm was still here, he’d do something similar for bob. Such a tragedy, but somehow comforting to know he was such a good and loving comedian
"Last week I got a text, and it just said,'I love you'" That broke me... Anyone that has been with someone passing, or just before they pass on, knows that feeling that goes throughout your bones when that is uttered by the future deceased..
My mother passed away from cancer a couple weeks before Norm. The only comfort I can grasp is that my favorite comic is with my beautiful mother and hopefully enjoying each other's company. RIP to both of their wonderful souls.
I’ve never been so affected by someone’s passing who I never knew personally, I think it’s a testament to the truth of Norms kindness that shone through even when he was making jokes about something serious. Over the years I’ve sought to watch Norm clips quite regularly, some new and some I repeat watch because he is so unique, funny and smart. He was the most intelligent person in the room even if he didn’t seem so, by purpose. RIP Norm, you didn’t lose.
Same here, Norm fan from birth. In high school I made my friends rent Dirty Work on VHS. I re-watch Norm clips for years and send to friends and introduce them to Dirty Work, SNL Update, The Middle, sit coms, Conan appearances, The View, everything. I finally saw him Live a couple years ago, my eyes never watered from laughter more than that night. A pure genius, but even better in person. He will be missed.
Bob - Norm loved & respected you. I have heard or watched everything Norm did that’s online & he mentioned Saget many times. he always referred to you as a very sweet man that happens to be a great comic. he mentioned you a lot on podcasts over the years. though I’m a total stranger, I hope you read this & grin. I’m very sorry that you lost a dear friend. I’m selfishly sad that I lost my favorite comic.
This makes me cry. I grew up watching entertainers take me out of my reality, and Norm and Farley were of the summit of 90s brand comedy. Robin Williams and Norm Mcdonald. These passings make me think about my life and what it means
The first time I heard Bob say "one of the greatest gifts of my life is that he loved me" I absolutely broke down. Such a raw and powerful quote I think about it daily
Fucking hell. 4+months later, and now Bob’s gone. When he initially posted this, I found great solace in it. Now I re-listen to honor Bob himself. Wow. A real serious loss. I currently have my tickets to see him Jan 28 here at Palm Beach Improv. I guess the show’s canceled. God bless Kelly and the family. This is a tough one. Bob was gifted. Edit: 1-9-22
"We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence." - Joseph Roux
I'm only 27, and I'm devastated I'll never get to meet the man who made me laugh no matter how tough life got. My first exposure to norm was in the movie Billy Madison, when I was a toddler. Ever since then I've loved the guy, and I've seen literally everything he's ever made public. My favorite comedian, and all around favorite famous person to have ever lived. My friends and I quote him all the time, and we will continue to do so until the day we too pass on.
I'm also 27 and Norm defied everyone and still made them laugh. He read Tolstoy and was a devout Christian. He was truly his own person and inspired me to embrace being unique. I'm glad he got to influence people our age in a time where conformity is encouraged and deviating is scorned. Norm did his own thing and never compromised. RIP battle axe 🪓 🙏 😢 😪 💔 😔
As a lifelong fan of Norm's, I've read and watched everything I could about him since his passing. Many kind and flattering words have been said, but nothing as heartfelt or beautiful as this eulogy. Thank you, Bob.
This is the closet I'll get to being at his funeral. Very touching Bob, thank you for sharing such a deep emotional moment in your and all of our lives.
The most striking thing with his death is I have never seen someone's passing draw despair and praise from the likes of senators, prime ministers of countries, news anchors of the largest news organizations, the most famous and respected actors and comedians to open micers, and a giant swath of the general public. To me, he we will always be the greatest for how effortlessly he was the funniest, smartest, and most compassionate guy in the room simultaneously. A seemingly impossible state of being. I'm sorry, Bob.
For me one of the craziest ones was TMZ. The kings of all tabloids actually wrote a very nice and meaningful memorial to Norm. They didn't just report his passing. They actually memorialized him.
"You don't know me from his wind, You never will,yoy never did, I'm the little Jew, who wrote a bible. I've seen the nations rise & fall, I've heard them stories,heard them all, but love is only engine of survival"R.I.P. Norm MacDonald & Leonard Cohen,2 greatest Canadians ever
I love all the great memorials from fellow comedians --- it was obvious Norm was admired by his peers and that is something everyone strives for in this life
RIP Bob RIP Norm I don't know what everyone's views are on the afterlife but I would really like to believe these 2 gentlemen are reunited and sharing a few laughs together. Grateful that both of them chased their dreams and made so many folks happy along the way.
Norms watching Bob get raped by the devil. Sorry, that's one of Norms jokes. I certainly miss Norm, and I am ashamed I missed Bob Saget. I only knew him from the podcast, and he was pretty good. I hope they're both skipping rope or whatever the fuck you do in heaven.
"This is a bad one." Yeah. It really is. He was SO fast and could get away with things that others couldn't. And that was because he just seemed like a nice, kind man who really enjoyed making people laugh. There was no 'mean' to him even though some of his stuff was edgy. And you could always tell he was really smart but played that down. And keeping cancer out of the public eye for nine years? That's a person of character. Thanks for this man. Appreciated.
Robin Williams shook me to the core, but this has been a close second. Absolutely deflating news for fans who had already gone down that Norm rabbit hole on CZcams years ago.
@@dudedurham Robin Williams was a huge shock but I had stopped liking him many years ago so ultimately it didn't matter to me. I came to Norm late. I stopped watching SNL before he arrived so I missed all of his shows and I've never seen any of his movies. But about five years ago I found him on CZcams and it's mostly him doing his routine on the interview couch on late-night talk shows. That's all I've ever known of him but I really enjoyed every 'interview' he ever did. And I especially loved how much Conan O'Brien would laugh. Norm brought joy to this world and we are all fortunate for having him in our Universe.
I hadn't felt this sad and shocked about a comedian since John Candy died. I had been watching Norm clips a lot over the last few weeks and did not see this coming at all.
This was really touching. I'm going through a hard time mentally right now and have been obsessively watching everything Norm has ever done. As others have said, he's such a bright light in this often dark world. I regret not appreciating him more when he was around. I'm so upset he and Bob Saget are gone now but so thankful they left us a legacy of laughter and light. Love you, Norm and love you, Bob.
RIP Vince Foster Let us never forget! Love you Norm and Bob. I just found out about Bob and for some reason, this makes me feel better. I just imagine Norm saying, "Hey Sagat, how did you like that whole cancer bit? People were all like, 'I didn't even know he was sick!' And did you listen to that CZcams video you made? The one you were crying and talking about Dirty Work? Man, and I thought I cried a lot on Letterman's last night."
For once, the CZcams algorithm got a suggestion right. This was a beautiful tribute. Thank you. It's been a long time since I've been this affected by the loss of someone I didn't know personally. Norm was a gift and I'm so grateful for his ability to quickly lift me out of dark places in my head. Love to you and to all those who loved him.
Resonating with what you wrote. I think it was the humanity of him that shined through, but the beautiful genius of his mind, and his complete lack of pretense.
@Solitude Standing11 Exactly right. He was an absurdist at heart. He would slowly and teasingly reveal how ridiculous the world was. He would present himself as a bit of an airhead, a country bumpkin from the frozen North of Canada. Yet beneath the facade was a giant, beautiful brain that brought laughter into this world. If you can bring laughter and joy into this world you are a real saint in my book and Norm is a saint. Please God, don't let the funny ones die.
Dude, this is one of the most human expressions of love and empathy I have ever encountered. I'm neither young nor old--38--, and I haven't really followed your own career much in the past several years. But I can't really express how powerful and impactful it is that you shared this with all of us publicly. Thank you, Bob. RIP Norm, and thank you for this expression of love.
J B Probably 12 or younger. Kids getting on their parents CZcams accounts are all over the place. I’ve seen some as young as 7 years old commenting on CZcams. It’s frustrating dealing with kids who’s brain isn’t even fully developed yet.
Norm wasn't just funny, he was real. Down to the bone. The world wasn't ready to lose a great man such as him.. I'm glad he was able to share his gift to us all.
"The world wasn't ready to lose a great man such as him" ... this is the kind of empty sentiment Norm would've hated. When would the world be ready? You are the type of person he lampooned.
@@orange555 well then I guess I'm selfish for thinking he's great and missed dearly.. it comes with having a heart. An also being Canadian. We say sorry, but we don't really mean it, so sorry, not sorry.. also. I'm sure he meant he didn't want sympathy.. not that he didn't want be loved an remembered
I’ve watched countless hours of him on CZcams for the past few years and I rewatched clips over and over again, no one made me laugh as much as Norm. I’ve never been so sad for a celebrity death. He really was a gift to humanity. God bless him
My favorite deceased Comedians: - Robin Williams - Bob Saget - Norm MacDonald - Phil Hartman - Chris Farley - Louie Anderson - George Carlin Can’t believe they’re all gone, 6 of them way too soon. Rest in Peace gentlemen, there will never be people as funny like you ever, and you will be missed.
I can tell you right now, he did. Proof of that was how he would randomly contact people over the internet. Regular people who just posted a video of his and then had some nice things to say about it, he would contact them and tell them how much he appreciated that they liked his comedy. He contacted these two guys that do reaction videos and told them how much he appreciated them. They made a tribute a couple days ago and talked about it. The channel is "Frankenstein's lab" if you're curious. Also, Norm couldn't go anywhere without somebody showering him with love. He knew.
This has me so mad! Norm was comedy gold with every spoken word! We all have lost someone to cancer and nothing can ever replace those we have lost.. in 74 Nixon paid a medical university in Virginia to prove that cannabis was more harmful to the human body than tobacco and thru that research it was discovered that thc not only stops tumor growth on contact but it also kills cancer cells! But politicians buried that valuable information for their benefit and every cancer related death is on every government official who covered up and still continue to lie about this life saving medicine! I will miss watching and listening to Norm the king of comedy!!!! We love you Norm McDonald!!😪🤬💞
@@Sleepless4LifeBob is still here for us whenever we need an example of kindness, compassion, and love. I find inspiration in him every day. Bob Saget ❤
I still can’t believe we lost Norm, Bob, and Gilbert within 7 months. The world is now a little bit less bright without these legends.
Three of the smartest and most in-touch souls we had brother. They just simply got it. Forever, may the show go on!
Super Dave Osborne also
Norm MacDonald was a racist and a bully. It's really quite disgusting and disturbing actually "smh"
Yeah people die life and death can be real jerks if you let them .
Can’t believe we just lost bob. Hearing him talk about norm is exactly how I bet a lot of us feel about him. I hope he’s up there with norm right now.
😭♥️
It's just a fucked up world we live in.
Damn it.
So sad ..he was such a good actor and comedian .. R.I.P. Bob Saget
@@siriush100 every year there’s always going to be bad news no matter what. We can’t control it. Its important that we embrace it and focus on the good things in life and the good things to come. We got one life that’s it, and we have to make the most out of it.
Norm and now Bob also gone? My childhood slowly fading away. RIP to you both 😭
💔💔💔💔💔
I feel ya. Two of the greatest guys.
Shit sucks man. But they live in our hearts
Heartbroken
Did he off himself? Nobody knows?
I hope that Norm was the first person to greet Bob on the other side.
😭😭😭
@@musiccalgary I can hear his voice in that. Bet he'd be making so many jokes about it with him.
Edit: I can see his fucking smile and squinted eyes too after saying it ahaha
The other side? Come on, no one knows of there is anything over there.
@@HughMorristheJoker Exactly. So one can hope that there is, because thats just it, we don't know.

In hell
Bob words were beautiful like a flower, yeah cauliflower.
Thats right, Artonline. His words... were like... a cauliflower.
It's not the only thing he has in common with Rin Tin Tin!
Take it easy on Bob guys. He's got a lot on his mind right now. A hat!
No thoughts at all, just a hat!
Bobs words may be depressing, but at least he's not a hypocrite.
"One of the gifts of my life is that he loved me." You just don't hear men talk like this about other men. Even though we need to more.
Thank you. I didn’t know Norm until he died. He’s given me a new funny part of my life!
I'm guessing that you dont own a doghouse ?
@@FredGSanford. Hahaha! Only Norm could tell that joke the way he did. Im not understating it when I say he was the funniest man on the planet.
@@iona6489 I'm glad you've discovered Norm finally. His comedy is brilliant. Watch as much of his stuff on CZcams that you can. He's my all-time favorite.

Pretty rude of Norm not to return the favour now Bob has gone
When my son died, would lie down day after day, month after month with my dog and every Norm clip I could find. Only Norm could drag you out of that hell. Thanks, Norm. 💕
I'm sorry for the loss of your son.
Sorry you lost your son. I know what you mean about Norm’s comedy pulling you out of dark places. Healed my soul many times
OOF. lady. *(or bud)
Oh God, that's nuclear winter.
I was *already* crying. 🤦♂️
Im going to go open my wrists in the bathtub 🛀 excuse me..
No, I'm really super sorry, that literally is the saddest thing maybe I've ever heard.
Norm meant a lot to me too, but, I feel like you win this one.
M P, sorry for your loss. I unfortunately know your pain, I too lost my son 02/16/19, my only child. God bless Norm!
Paul Newman told me...
Looks like some of us immediately went here when we heard the news of bobs passing. We loved both norm & Bob as fans but they felt like close friends. This hurts. I cried when I first listened to this. Now..just 3 months later, crazy.
Rip Bob & norm

Where else can you go? This was a beautiful tribute.
I’m so grateful that Bob left us this wonderful gift, shortly before his own time was up - not just moving tribute to Norm, but bearing his soul and showing the world who Bob Saget really was - deeply compassionate, concerned and loyal to his friends, and valuing the little things above everything else. To me, a deserved punctuation for a life lived with kindness. Rest in Peace.
It's no surprise that it's by far the most watched video on his channel, even before he left.
well stated. i'm listening in joy, but there are tears rolling down my face.
Hopefully he's up there making dick jokes with Norm and they're cracking each other up.
I'll miss both of these guys.
He did always say he was a hugger
So well said, DoctoRhythm. You are a great soul as well for understanding these messages. I wish you well
I watched this a few months ago when Bob was remembering his friend Norm Macdonald. And now just a few months later after Bob recorded this on CZcams, we’re now remembering him. Rest In Peace, Bob.

The greatest comedian has died and this was his greatest, most heartfelt tribute.
Thank you Bob.
Rest in Peace Normie
spot on

@@onefoot7 You expect people to read your comment and automatically stop caring about people dying or something?
@@onefoot7 why bother commenting
And now Gilbert, too. That photo is getting real tough to look at. Hope they're having a ball together.
Norm and Bob are currently having a blast with each other wherever the fuck their disembodied selves are.
“I’ll try to keep it short” goes on to speak about Norm for 37 minutes. RIP to an absolute legend
He could probably talk about him for 37 hours, so 37 mins is fairly brief
Norm deserves every second.
Still short
"Honor him by getting him", Norm was a guy who would look into the camera from behind that news desk, definant and looking for his people, like he knew, despite the dead audience in the room, he had you going at home.
He always made me feel special, just for appreciating his talent. No other performer has ever done that and I'm gutted for all those who knew the man. If he could make me feel like that, how did he make you feel?
Thanks Bob, for sharing and honoring.
"...like he knew, despite the dead audience in the room, he had you going at home."
Exactly. Thank you for expressing what I also feel to be true.
Thank you for putting into words that feeling
Bob Saget just passed today at 65 , nearly 4 months to date from Norms passing. Rest in Peace
This is heartbreaking. Hearing how bad Bob was taking Norms passing and now Bob himself is gone. 😭
I agree
This is one of the best eulogies I’ve ever heard. Just a guy talking about his friend. Really moving. RIP Normie

@spj_7 I know it's impossible, but what if if were just like his Roast of Bob?
The picture at 14:08 fucking kills me. In less than a year, we lost three of those four guys. Norm, Bob, Gilbert, the only one left is Jeff. Shit's fucked up, man, three phenomenal talents.
“I love you.” When you hear that from a guy like Norm, you know it’s real. That got me. Great tribute Bob.
When I heard Norm died, I was so heartbroken - but the worst part is the hypocrisy.

Crazy how Artie Lange out lived both Bob and Norm, wow just wow.
Well he is a lot younger
@@Analoguebubblebath89 the drugs and diet aged him
Comedy is almost dead now too. Gilbert is one of the few left who isn't afraid to say whatever's on his mind. RIP
welp thats aged poorly too
I love that Bob touched on Norm's childlike quality. A lot of geniuses are really just big kids.
Norm would always tell his jokes with a boyish smirk & innocent eyes. Was wonderful
Feels weird shedding a tear over someone you've never met. You get the "what am I doing?" feeling in the back on your mind. But Norm was one of a kind, and it really sucks knowing that you're never going to hear from him ever again. All the insanity of the world seemed like calm cool waters when Norm was taking it apart, making you laugh, and smiling along with you. There will never be another comic like him, ever. Going to miss him.
Exactly
Well said
100% I’ve been in a massive funk since I heard. I watched him since I was a kid and it feels like I lost a friend, a friend I never met. How crazy am I, huh? 🤣
Same man i'm balling my eyes out over here. Feel like he's the funny uncle i never had. So funny so so smart, omg so smart. "On an infinite timeline having nothing and having something are the same." Taught me alot, made me laugh more than anyone on this planet. RIP
Same dude. He was an AMAZING man. Truly a man I felt connected to without ever met him.
I used to see Norm McDonald at Hennessey's in Manhattan Beach on random mornings. My husband and I often ate breakfast there. He was always sitting out on the front patio where we normally sat. He was always alone and always reading the paper. Always kind to his servers; a true gentleman. I was already such a huge fan because Norm was different. I loved his voice, his cadence and his nonchalant approach to any subject. He made me laugh all the time, but the times that I'll remember most were those times when my life was not that great, and he still made me laugh. At my darkest, watching him and laughing, I had an "aha" moment where I realized that I could laugh (out loud) while going through the toughest times, I would be okay. That if I could laugh while everything around me was falling apart, I knew I would ultimately be okay. Thank you Norm McDonald for the gifts you gave that you were completely unaware of . . . The world is definitely a bit dimmer without your human presence. Rest in Peace always. You were and are so loved.
I so love your beautiful tribute.
@@andrewthomas891 Thank you Andrew. That's very kind of you to say.
loved this comment. thank you
There’s gotta some type of meaning when a person makes a video remembering a friend when also passes away shortly afterwards
The moment Bob said he got a text from Norm last week, that just read "I love you" - I completely lost it!! Waterworks activated... Norm was easily the funniest man alive, and the most genuine, caring person to boot! My favorite quote from Norm was when he said to Jerry "It's one thing to make people laugh, but it's another to make them smile." You will be sorely missed you old chunk of coal! Rest now.
What bothers me about that part of the video is Norm probably knew he was going to die soon.
I love that Bob said, "all of you who loved him" giving us validation for our feelings of loss. Which feels strange because I never even knew I gave Norm MacDonald that much thought! But I feel terrible, so I realize how much he DID mean to me. That must be a unique gift, to connect on a such a personal level with other people who literally just see you on a screen
I relate so much to your post... I felt like I knew him, like he was speaking to me alone, and that I would meet him one day. I know that sounds crazy, but he taught me a lot about comedy and about humanity and I will miss him terribly, even if I never did meet him in person. No new jokes, no new show makes me unbelievably sad. RIP Norm Macdonald and thank you for everything you did.
You just put words to my exact feelings. I cried for the first time over someone I never met. I realize now I did “love” Norm. This is just brutal.
100% There are legions of us who watch/listen to Norm everyday. He is so meaningful to us. It was so kind of Bob to give us a word during this time.
Feels like a friend died. It’s weird. I don’t usually feel anything when anyone dies. Seems like a lot of us felt that way about Norm.
YES. Feel the same way.
Love from Germany
4 months later we would lose Bob as well… I can only imagine how norm greeted Bob at the Pearly Gates….. most likely grabbing Farley with him…. ❤️❤️ 😞😞
And now Bob dies. Fuck these last few years have been so depressing....
As you said, Norm texted you a week before he passed with, “I love you.” He was saying goodbye. And you had no idea. How incredibly sad, he didn’t want anyone to see him so sick, even his best friend, wow.
"Why can't unfunny people die" thanks for that. I needed that.
Right? Best line ever!
@@lexybatch3539 We all know that he was not thinking of Amy Schumer when he made this comment. She is the funniest person alive
I can't believe we lost Bob too. I wasn't over Norm yet. I am broken.
Say hi to norm for us 😔
I've never heard Bob saget be so real and genuine and sincere. This is really hard to listen to at times because you could just hear the pain in his voice. I had no idea how close they were. Thank you for sharing this Bob. This is the best tribute I've heard.
He was in and out of the Opie and anothony show for 10 years being himself. This is the only Bob I know. I never watched his TV show.
Very close man
They did dirty work together
I agree. What a heartfelt and salient tribute to the best guy ever.
@Otto von Tutti or, you know. Pets. 😐
Dogs and cats specifically.
🐶🐱=🍽.
Hahaha. Sorry, that's a rough joke, but you asked for it. 😉
Two legends gone. Rest in Peace to the both of you, we will never forget you. Hope you two reunited.
I'm sure they are having a laugh in heaven
@@yoshimanmariokart4572 but have they found Dean Martin’s son?
I'm sure they're having a beer with Albert Fish.
Only God can determine where we go when we die. If we are not saved we don't go to heaven. I hope and pray that he was saved because I loved him and I'm really sad about this

What a huge bummer this is to listen to. A man who has passed away himself, eulogizing a dear friend who has passed away...
RIP Norm Macdonald(1959-2021) and Bob Saget(1956-2022)
Norm's last appearance on Letterman was the finest few minute stand-up set I have ever seen. RIP Norm.
I’m glad you made this, Bob. This is the only celebrity death that has ever made me cry.
I grew up watching Norm 😢 this hurtz like fuk
George Michael touched me too.
I feel the same way.
Norm was such a force, such a good influence to a lot of people.
In this world today with all twitter trolls and fake people. Norm was always sincere, intelligent and his own self.
I cried as an adult man to know we have lost a real genuine person that was funny as hell.
I think norm said the following.
Dont be sad that he died, be glad that it happened.
The force of Norm Macdonald.
🙏🏻
same
I came here because I heard the news. Bob was a caring and loving man. If norm was still here, he’d do something similar for bob. Such a tragedy, but somehow comforting to know he was such a good and loving comedian
if you're here after hearing bob died, i'm with ya. Much love to those we lost and just as much to those still here.
"Last week I got a text, and it just said,'I love you'"
That broke me... Anyone that has been with someone passing, or just before they pass on, knows that feeling that goes throughout your bones when that is uttered by the future deceased..
My mother passed away from cancer a couple weeks before Norm. The only comfort I can grasp is that my favorite comic is with my beautiful mother and hopefully enjoying each other's company. RIP to both of their wonderful souls.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I haven’t lost mine yet but I often weep of the day that I will lose her.
Sorry about your loss.
It wasnt until september 15 that you could look back and laugh about it
My mom died in February
Solidarity brother 🙏 🙌 💙
My mother passed away as well… love to you and peace within ❤️
RIP The King of Comedy. We loved you in England Norm!
I just think he missed him so much that he (and Gilbert) joined him.
This makes me want to be a better person. Thanks Bob. We’ll miss him.
The more I hear about this cancer, the more I dont care for it.
I’ve never been so affected by someone’s passing who I never knew personally, I think it’s a testament to the truth of Norms kindness that shone through even when he was making jokes about something serious. Over the years I’ve sought to watch Norm clips quite regularly, some new and some I repeat watch because he is so unique, funny and smart. He was the most intelligent person in the room even if he didn’t seem so, by purpose. RIP Norm, you didn’t lose.
Same here, Norm fan from birth. In high school I made my friends rent Dirty Work on VHS. I re-watch Norm clips for years and send to friends and introduce them to Dirty Work, SNL Update, The Middle, sit coms, Conan appearances, The View, everything. I finally saw him Live a couple years ago, my eyes never watered from laughter more than that night. A pure genius, but even better in person. He will be missed.
This and Robin Williams
@@joshportelli
Norm: I've never seen so many dead hookers in my life
Farley: God knows I have
@@oscarinacan Love that scene/line!
Damn this one hurts 100x more to listen to now. Fly high boys- Gil, Norm, Bob- I know you made it to paradise.
Bob, Norm, and Farley should reunite make alternative Dirty Work in another universe. RIP Bob!!!
This is the only time in my life that I have been truly shaken by the death of a celebrity. It is heartening to see that I’m not the only one.
Funny name ;)
Perhaps this is your second time?
Bob - Norm loved & respected you. I have heard or watched everything Norm did that’s online & he mentioned Saget many times. he always referred to you as a very sweet man that happens to be a great comic. he mentioned you a lot on podcasts over the years. though I’m a total stranger, I hope you read this & grin. I’m very sorry that you lost a dear friend. I’m selfishly sad that I lost my favorite comic.
It's not selfish to be sad that someone you admired and felt connected to has passed. It's perfectly natural.
This makes me cry. I grew up watching entertainers take me out of my reality, and Norm and Farley were of the summit of 90s brand comedy.
Robin Williams and Norm Mcdonald.
These passings make me think about my life and what it means
@@darkandchinesejonhui It makes me realize anyone and everyone i loved and looked up to will be gone in my lifetime
The first time I heard Bob say "one of the greatest gifts of my life is that he loved me" I absolutely broke down. Such a raw and powerful quote I think about it daily
Fucking hell. 4+months later, and now Bob’s gone. When he initially posted this, I found great solace in it. Now I re-listen to honor Bob himself. Wow. A real serious loss. I currently have my tickets to see him Jan 28 here at Palm Beach Improv. I guess the show’s canceled. God bless Kelly and the family. This is a tough one. Bob was gifted.
Edit: 1-9-22
Palm Beach Norm fan here.
@@TheAlibabatree nice dude!!! I feel ya. 💯
You guess?
@@vincent2053 you picked up my sarcasm. Good job!
You "guess" the show's cancelled? What would the alternative have been!!!
"I love you." What a great way to end your life-long conversation with a great man. Much love to you both
This was the most genuinely sincere love letter in audio form I've ever heard. Amazing work Bob.
"We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence." - Joseph Roux
Beautiful
You are gone too soon, Bob. Tell Norm we said hi.
Norm would’ve called his passing a draw,
Today he’s a winner, he’s always a winner.
Thank you Bob
Fuck cancer. He whooped its ass for 9 years, I agree he was the winner
Norms not dead….that’s just what the Germans would have you believe. He is alive and well, in our hearts.
He had a draw with the blood cancer, but he won with Saint Peter
This was a very beautiful eulogy, Bob. The world has truly lost someone special.
Now today, Monday, January 10th, we Remember Bob.
Sad part is, only one who could do justice to his memory, was Norm.
I can’t believe we have lost you too, Bob. So soon after we lost Norm. My sincere heart-felt sympathy to your family and friends. RIP in piece.
I'm only 27, and I'm devastated I'll never get to meet the man who made me laugh no matter how tough life got. My first exposure to norm was in the movie Billy Madison, when I was a toddler. Ever since then I've loved the guy, and I've seen literally everything he's ever made public. My favorite comedian, and all around favorite famous person to have ever lived. My friends and I quote him all the time, and we will continue to do so until the day we too pass on.
Excellent comment! Thank you!
I'm also 27 and Norm defied everyone and still made them laugh. He read Tolstoy and was a devout Christian. He was truly his own person and inspired me to embrace being unique. I'm glad he got to influence people our age in a time where conformity is encouraged and deviating is scorned. Norm did his own thing and never compromised. RIP battle axe 🪓 🙏 😢 😪 💔 😔
I saw Norm as an intellectual and an empath in the later part of his career. There should be 20 more years of Norm, I'll miss his mind.
The covid set he did is one of the funniest sets Ive ever heard a person do
I'm expecting 'Dirty Work 2' up in heaven.
Make it happen gents 🌠🌠
I come back to this video from time to time just to admire the friendship these two had. This is beautiful
You could always tell that Norm was a fundamentally decent man. What a heart that guy had. Love him.
Norm MacDonald, no allegations about him.
I respect Norms commitment to God 🙏 😊
As a lifelong fan of Norm's, I've read and watched everything I could about him since his passing.
Many kind and flattering words have been said, but nothing as heartfelt or beautiful as this eulogy.
Thank you, Bob.
Beautifully said, thank you
Hear hear!
Are we ever ready to lose our most impressionable TV dad? I’m not and I’m 39. RIP Bob
From Sept 21 to April 22, we lost four greats norm, Louie Anderson, Bob saget and finally Gilbert Gottfried.
“A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty.”
RIP, Norm. I pray you're in heaven now.
Him and Bob are both in heaven now
This is the closet I'll get to being at his funeral. Very touching Bob, thank you for sharing such a deep emotional moment in your and all of our lives.
you're deeply closeted, are ya?
@@Kryptospotted Don't think he owns a dog house

They wouldn't take kindly to that at the University of science
The worst part about this is the hypocrisy
Rip Bob
Well done
Gilbert Godfrey, Bob, and Norm. Damn that's crazy they're all gone. Rest in Power
And now, somehow, against all conceivable odds, Artie Lange has outlived them both. RIP Saget. 😢
They would both laugh to this
You beat me to it.
The most striking thing with his death is I have never seen someone's passing draw despair and praise from the likes of senators, prime ministers of countries, news anchors of the largest news organizations, the most famous and respected actors and comedians to open micers, and a giant swath of the general public. To me, he we will always be the greatest for how effortlessly he was the funniest, smartest, and most compassionate guy in the room simultaneously. A seemingly impossible state of being. I'm sorry, Bob.
For me one of the craziest ones was TMZ. The kings of all tabloids actually wrote a very nice and meaningful memorial to Norm. They didn't just report his passing. They actually memorialized him.
Wow a porn spam here? So gross MK_Sari
He was the world's best friend
"You don't know me from his wind,
You never will,yoy never did,

I love all the great memorials from fellow comedians --- it was obvious Norm was admired by his peers and that is something everyone strives for in this life
RIP Bob
RIP Norm
I don't know what everyone's views are on the afterlife but I would really like to believe these 2 gentlemen are reunited and sharing a few laughs together. Grateful that both of them chased their dreams and made so many folks happy along the way.
Norms watching Bob get raped by the devil.
Sorry, that's one of Norms jokes. I certainly miss Norm, and I am ashamed I missed Bob Saget. I only knew him from the podcast, and he was pretty good.
I hope they're both skipping rope or whatever the fuck you do in heaven.
@@PunishedNegativeZer0 Only if he took the Lord’s name in vain though lol
Dont foeget gilbert .. as shown on the pictures .. family too .. r.i.p
I... I don't have the words anymore...
Thinking the same thing man.
"This is a bad one." Yeah. It really is. He was SO fast and could get away with things that others couldn't. And that was because he just seemed like a nice, kind man who really enjoyed making people laugh. There was no 'mean' to him even though some of his stuff was edgy. And you could always tell he was really smart but played that down. And keeping cancer out of the public eye for nine years? That's a person of character. Thanks for this man. Appreciated.
How beautiful
When he called that carrot top movie, Chairman of the BORED on conan. I almost died.
Absolute genius.
@@CatalystNetwork Genius is a big word but I'd agree there. To pull that out, in that situation, is genius.
It was those dimples and that sly look in those baby blue eyes. Man he was gorgeous.
@@denisepaulsenful pure mischief and divilment in his eyes
In my lifetime, he’s the comedian who’s death has affected me the most. I’m gonna miss that old chunk of coal
Robin Williams shook me to the core, but this has been a close second. Absolutely deflating news for fans who had already gone down that Norm rabbit hole on CZcams years ago.
Chuckled from that one.
@@dudedurham
Robin Williams was a huge shock but I had stopped liking him many years ago so ultimately it didn't matter to me.
I came to Norm late.
I stopped watching SNL before he arrived so I missed all of his shows and I've never seen any of his movies.
But about five years ago I found him on CZcams and it's mostly him doing his routine on the interview couch on late-night talk shows.
That's all I've ever known of him but I really enjoyed every 'interview' he ever did. And I especially loved how much Conan O'Brien would laugh.
Norm brought joy to this world and we are all fortunate for having him in our Universe.
I hadn't felt this sad and shocked about a comedian since John Candy died. I had been watching Norm clips a lot over the last few weeks and did not see this coming at all.
@@johnogrady1917 You stop "liking" a comedian/actor and therefore his death didn't matter to you? Cold.
This was really touching. I'm going through a hard time mentally right now and have been obsessively watching everything Norm has ever done. As others have said, he's such a bright light in this often dark world. I regret not appreciating him more when he was around. I'm so upset he and Bob Saget are gone now but so thankful they left us a legacy of laughter and light. Love you, Norm and love you, Bob.
*hugs*
RIP Vince Foster
Let us never forget!
Love you Norm and Bob.
I just found out about Bob and for some reason, this makes me feel better. I just imagine Norm saying, "Hey Sagat, how did you like that whole cancer bit? People were all like, 'I didn't even know he was sick!' And did you listen to that CZcams video you made? The one you were crying and talking about Dirty Work? Man, and I thought I cried a lot on Letterman's last night."
For once, the CZcams algorithm got a suggestion right. This was a beautiful tribute. Thank you. It's been a long time since I've been this affected by the loss of someone I didn't know personally. Norm was a gift and I'm so grateful for his ability to quickly lift me out of dark places in my head. Love to you and to all those who loved him.
I'm pretty sure that someone high up at CZcams Headquarters loves Norm. They let him Host their CZcams Awards in Sweatpants.
Resonating with what you wrote. I think it was the humanity of him that shined through, but the beautiful genius of his mind, and his complete lack of pretense.
@Solitude Standing11
Exactly right. He was an absurdist at heart. He would slowly and teasingly reveal how ridiculous the world was.
He would present himself as a bit of an airhead, a country bumpkin from the frozen North of Canada.
Yet beneath the facade was a giant, beautiful brain that brought laughter into this world.
If you can bring laughter and joy into this world you are a real saint in my book and Norm is a saint. Please God, don't let the funny ones die.
Dude, this is one of the most human expressions of love and empathy I have ever encountered. I'm neither young nor old--38--, and I haven't really followed your own career much in the past several years. But I can't really express how powerful and impactful it is that you shared this with all of us publicly. Thank you, Bob. RIP Norm, and thank you for this expression of love.
You are old.
@@mathieutyler00 You must be 19.
Norm was the best.... I hurt for his "Draw"

Saget has been on tv since dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
J B Probably 12 or younger. Kids getting on their parents CZcams accounts are all over the place. I’ve seen some as young as 7 years old commenting on CZcams. It’s frustrating dealing with kids who’s brain isn’t even fully developed yet.
He passed, and you and we mourned..and now you're gone, also..and we out here mourn you, too, Bob. Sucks. Empty
Normie and Bob are now in Heaven... God bless them
That's just not reality, I'm sorry. No such thing as celestial theme parks.
God will cleans the hate you have
Norm wasn't just funny, he was real. Down to the bone. The world wasn't ready to lose a great man such as him.. I'm glad he was able to share his gift to us all.
God was ready for him
"The world wasn't ready to lose a great man such as him" ... this is the kind of empty sentiment Norm would've hated. When would the world be ready? You are the type of person he lampooned.
@@orange555 well then I guess I'm selfish for thinking he's great and missed dearly.. it comes with having a heart. An also being Canadian.

I'm with you. Especially over the past 6 months. He was absolutely amazing.

Gawd I feel every word you just said 100% the last 2 years I’ve watched “the Norm Show” on repeat. So good.
I'm not norm is a good channel also
Just his voice or his face on screen would make me smile...the man was one of a kind. The only "celebrity" I've ever shed a tear for.
I first liked Bob Saget because of this video only 3 months ago. And he's already gone too.
My favorite deceased Comedians:
- Robin Williams
- Bob Saget
- Norm MacDonald
- Phil Hartman
- Chris Farley
- Louie Anderson
- George Carlin
Can’t believe they’re all gone, 6 of them way too soon.
Rest in Peace gentlemen, there will never be people as funny like you ever, and you will be missed.
I hope Norm knew how much he meant to people who never even met him. Thank you for doing this Bob.
I can tell you right now, he did.
Proof of that was how he would randomly contact people over the internet. Regular people who just posted a video of his and then had some nice things to say about it, he would contact them and tell them how much he appreciated that they liked his comedy.
He contacted these two guys that do reaction videos and told them how much he appreciated them. They made a tribute a couple days ago and talked about it. The channel is "Frankenstein's lab" if you're curious.
Also, Norm couldn't go anywhere without somebody showering him with love.
He knew.
@@dangerous8333 it’s been a long time since something warmed my heart as much as your comment. Thank you for the channel I’m gonna check it out.
What an incredible depth of feeling in your tribute.
Bob Saget is here for all of us in these trying times.
This has me so mad! Norm was comedy gold with every spoken word! We all have lost someone to cancer and nothing can ever replace those we have lost.. in 74 Nixon paid a medical university in Virginia to prove that cannabis was more harmful to the human body than tobacco and thru that research it was discovered that thc not only stops tumor growth on contact but it also kills cancer cells! But politicians buried that valuable information for their benefit and every cancer related death is on every government official who covered up and still continue to lie about this life saving medicine!
