Seth Remembers Norm Macdonald

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[readmelancholystrumpetmaster]

Norm following the OJ verdict:
"Well, it's official; murder is legal in the State of California."

Greatest one-liner ever.

“What are odds that a terrorist will attack and kill you? Almost zero. But what are the odds that you will be attacked and killed by your own heart? About 100 percent. Hearts aren't good.” One of my favourite lines. RIP Norm!

“I always think, ‘What would Seth Meyers do?’” “If you really want to be really funny, then that’s what you want to do. You want to think, ‘What would make Seth Meyers laugh?’ That’s how I live my life.” - Norm Macdonald, comedy legend.

[DryBones]

he lived with cancer for 9 years, but it didn't stop him from entertaining his fans for those last 9 years. For that I salute you good sir.

[JezelJordan]

Norm is the only comedian who was at his best when the audience didn't get it, and I appreciate that about him so much. He never dumbed it down, even if you had to hear a joke three times to realize it's the funniest fucking thing you've ever heard.

[rayfinkle]

“What would Seth Meyers do?”

RIP Norm, we’re gonna miss you buddy

[jerrys]

It hits different when a comedian passes on . There is that little bit of laughter and joy they take with them. Norm is one of the greats, and he will be missed.

“I always think, what would Seth Meyers say”- Norm

[nonokayakjack]

He's up there in the Canadian section of heaven with John Candy, Leslie Neilson and Phil Hartman.

[stepkickking]

His comedy lifted my spirits on the darkest of days. Rest In Peace, Norm.

[ryancoke]

Incredibly unique, there will never be another comedian like Norm.

[SaltBhj]

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I always think, what would Seth Meyers do?”
- Norm

[albundy]

I still can’t believe it and don’t want to. To me, his final joke is, “I didn’t even know he was sick.” A meta joke punchline that he left for all his fans to say. It’s a fitting way for him to go out. RIP Norm.

[pm]

A fitting tribute given that Norm wished to be remembered only for his comedy, not by his manner of expiration, which is exactly why so few knew of his illness.

[rwdonkulus]

“Oh no, my son doesn’t know how time works.” I feel like we got a couple new Norm jokes in this video here, thanks Seth.

[bindodundid]

Bittersweet little piece. There's probably millions of unrecorded, "no abductions" jokes. Norm MacDonald, the master of delivery.

[SynymynBuhnz]

My favorite thing about Norm was his "shaggy dog jokes". Those stories he'd tell that were ridiculously long and the punchline was so out of the blue you just laughed from pure instinct

[New_Gaming_Chair]

"What do you think of his show?"
“What show?”
"The Seth Meyers Sho-" “It's not something I would do.”

[madnessbydesignVria]

Watching Norm bomb, and seeing him dig in and revel in the awkwardness was inspiring. He was a comedian's comedian, and he will be dearly missed...

[MadAboutBrows]

He could "bomb" with a smile on his face, because he was having a great time either way. Amazing performer. Thank you for sharing your stories, Seth. I'm sorry for your loss, and ours 💗
