When I saw Norm live in Las Vegas a couple years ago he didn’t want to go off stage. He mentioned he was so happy doing live comedy. He had a piece of paper with a few words on it and he was just so off cuff yet KILLING IT! I think finally after 2 hours he ended the show but really made it a point for the audience to know how much joy and appreciation he had for getting to do what he loved- making comedy and making people laugh.

@@scottashe984 No one dies alone. Perhaps lonely. Like it or not, we are an organism. Just as you don't feel your cells failing long before manifestation becomes apparent, the remaining organism functions ever so much less in unison or harder to replace the failure and loss. If you don't feel it yet, you're probably an exo cell which we shed daily and we cope. Some are cancerous and we recover a bit but all deaths have a bio/genomic and geo/magnetic effect on those whom remain. I can't yet speak for Norm or my father or the sons, daughters, mothers. fathers. children who become worm fodder or parts of the air we breath but no one dies alone.

I've been binging on Norm again, since his passing. He said he had the most fun doing Schneider films (even moreso than Adam Sandler films, which were talked about in the same bit), because he said Ron gave him the most leeway and just let him riff as much as he wanted. It was almost a Sandler diss, I guess indirectly implying that Sandler was more of a perfectionist type that ran the show, and therefore not as much fun to work for. That was one of the most refreshing and rare things about Norm - his honesty about people and situations. he was usually tactful enough, but he had an easy bluntness and didn't beat around the bush or dodge things like most actors and show biz people do. They are just so scared to piss off the wrong person, they never actually say anything real. Norm was always real.
@bdonovable2 жыл бұрын
@@saintejeannedarc9460 Funny that you mention that. I just rewatched the Sandler, Norm, and Adam Eget episode of Norm Live and Norm said something during the convo that gave the vibe about Sandler dictating the scene for a movie (starring the classic Happy Madison crew) as if he where the director (when there was a separate official director). It is also interesting hearing a few remembrances for Norm mention him as being a perfectionist. It's weird comparing that information to how these guys appeared so laid back in their typical roles.

How could he divulge Norm having cancer if he didn't know about it? What i got from Schneider was him saying that norm was a gambling addict that owed him 25 grand but he let it slide.

I just realized Rob Schneider dropped a bombshell when he said "I just wanted to check in Norm's medicine cabinet...and see if he was doing anything...and there were some things in the sink and that's when I realized that something was going on." Rob starts telling that at 22:45 Now this brings a dozen things that I saw Norm say on various shows in the last number of years. One was, "I think all those Xanax I took before I came out are kicking in." But Norm would put the comic emphasis on "XANAX", so you didn't know...but later he's make another reference to it. Another time he said right in the middle of an interview, as his nose was sniffling a little bit, "That COCAINE I took is not working..." again with the comedic emphasis and Norm sparkle. Certainly keeping that secret of his cancer anyone would say, "What the hell, why not some blow, why not some Xanax to level me out?" Hell, I did coke and Xanax for years just because it FELT GOOD. I Love you, Norm. You were so very much loved---I hope you knew that.

I'm paraphrasing that badly and incorrectly but the gist of it is there. Rob was worried about drugs. Ten years is a long time to carry that weight. The thing I hope didn't happen is that he foresaw a "#metoo" witch hunt about to come down upon him...I hope that was not it. I hope we never ever find out, because these vultures don't deserve to know. Well, none of us deserve to know, but you know what I'm saying. Peace.

This was a great little memoriam from a true friend. I love that Rob didn’t attempt to canonize him or remember a legend. He remembered his friend warts and all. He remembered his friend for who he was and I loved how he defined the Anglo tradition in the Americas. It’s not allowed to be discussed today but, there is a rich culture that is foundational to the country and the quadrant of the world we inhabit here. The culture is a deeply stoic culture and one that does adhere to at least a modicum and code of gentlemanliness. I speak for the stoic individuals like Norm that for many generations now, are adherent to who their elders and ancestors were and how their expectations are left to the living world and we their progeny are able to fulfill to keep the fires of Pentecostal traditions forever alive. I’ve gone a bit deep and especially towards the end but, Rob Schneider seems to have given the very best tribute to a friend from his heart.

I realized how deep of a mind Norm had when he said something along the lines of "no one wants to hear comedy from someone smarter than you." Who knew, keeping his secret this whole time that time he was really trying to teaching us a much deeper lesson: "no one wants to hear comedy out of a tumor riddled old man."

When Norm last appeared on Spade's late night show, it was obvious he was 'sick.' I only just saw it yesterday, but from seeing people with cancer before, it was obvious he was in the late stages of it.

I think if anyone really liked him or cared, they'd see it. I see it with people I don't know that well. When it's all about you, you don't see it. He didn't have close buddies but his manager knew and he had enough confide in without needing superficial friends. Even with Robin Williams, you had to see his disintegration. His last movie, they all said they saw things. Care, IDK?

Norm Macdonald was one of a kind. He had a very unique style and personality. He stood out of the pack because in an industry where everyone sounds the same and is copying each other he was unique, even though he was probably influenced and/or copying comics and entertainers from the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. There is some Dean Martin in his style and delivery that made him easy to watch and listen.

I think his lane should have been concentrating on the video podcast with Adam Eget with control over content, a shame the way it worked out with Netflix don't think they should have ever moved from the original format but understandable with what was on offer. Adam Eget mentioned they were going to do a podcast again, think i googled "norm macdonald podcast " once a week hoping for a start date. So sad i won't get to see new episodes of that.

Exactly. His "lane" was that he didn't go down any lane where other people had been. The absolute most fearless comedian I've ever seen. Theres a video on here of a teacher heckling him and he absolutely nuked her. I actually felt kind of bad for her. My favorite all time comedian

@@dyerseve45 Trying to listen. Might try another video. (hard to hear her) I have teachers in family and Norm's mom taught and taught him a lot ( he dropped out)but yeah, he has a point. Heroes never say they are. Great teachers change lives and many of us have had them, but bad teachers can destroy them. I have a lot of respect for good ones but "heroes" IDK. Overused word. I think my daughter might have had more fun with him. I work in an urban school with high crime and low resources and pay for things out of pocket and get resolve to return by the few I reach and "save" from bureaucracy of American schools. He would have an intelligent conversation with her but not on stage. That is to make others laugh.
