Norm was one of my favorite comedians. He kept his illness private. Very sad news. RIP

I was just ready to make a thread. This really sucks, he was hilarious, his voice, and delivery were just incomparable to anyone else. I know he did a lot of voice work for animation, and was a reoccurring character, playing pidgin on "The Mike Tyson Mysteries" show on adult swim. I can't see them being able to replace his voice.

R.I.P. Mr. McDonald, you fought a helluva fight, time to rest.

Yes, that really sucks.

Here he is as Burt Reynolds to Will Farrell's Alex Trebek on SNL's Jeopardy

I'm going to post a few things throughout the day. Some are skits and some are from real life.

Unfortunately there are lots of accounts doing the round that he was a bit of a Louis CK around women. I wish I could say I was disappointed or surprised but I'm just not. A brilliant comedian, though, no question about that. The logic professor gag is one of the best jokes ever done.

Only after past away or before? Hope it not true, Norm MacDonald way better looking than Louis CK so he shouldn't have to be a flasher or perv caller...

I don't know all details I only remember that Louis CK flashed girls while jerking off and called them on phone jerking off, pretty creepy and perverted and bad - but far cry from rapist, and no need to cancel them, and audiences can do the cancelling on their own anyways.

But I guess if studio executives figure audiences will cancel them anyways, the studio might as well cancel then first.

Like you said, brilliant comedian, and he gone now anyways - so hopefully he'll only be remembered for that and not minor perversions.

Oh well, not to worry, probably not too serious if wasn't brought up while he still alive anyways.

*leans into mic* That's not how it works.

But I'm not going to spend my weekend explaining why, you do you.
