I love Norm Macdonald

[Spiritof96]

I figured everyone would want to know.

I'm not really a "fan" of stand-up comedy, but I love Norm and I have spent more time than I care to admit, watching his stand-up, appearances, and interviews on Youtube. In questioning my co-workers, I find that I can learn a lot about a person by what they think is funny.

In any case, Norm has now cracked my top 5 people alive today that I would like to meet and have a conversation with. I admire him so much I think I would choke up if I thought about it too much...

Also, Robert Duvall is the best actor in the world.

Thant is all.

Within the last month I ordered a t-shirt which says, “I love the smell of napalm in morning”

Me and a handful of my friends always thought McDonald was grossly underappreciated during his SNL stint as a regular. I enjoyed his dry wit and delivery. When he would return for guest stints as Burt Reynolds during the Jeopardy bits, those were a hoot.

He's also an exceptional professional poker player.

I caught one of his specials on Netflix and really enjoyed it.

The bit about his school letting him major in a language he already spoke and equated people who donate to their universities as people who fall in love with the prostitute. He has another earlier album on Apple Music (and probably Spotify) that's great also.

I'm also a fan of Nate Bargatzke. I respect anyone who can do clean comedy well.

On the subject of comedians, Dave Chappelle lives in Yellow Springs, OH (just outside of Dayton about an hour from here). My wife and I stopped for gas at a gas station up the street (just off the interstate) and a guy pulled up in an Escalade at the pump across from me. I didn't think anything of it but I got back in the car and my wife has this look on her face and points and says "that's Dave Chappelle!"

It sure was.

Norm is one of my all-time favorites. His persistent needling of O.J. is legendary all its own.

I’m also a huge fan of Bill Hicks and Chappelle. I though Louis C.K.’s material was fantastic, but I haven’t watched or listened to much of his stuff since his exile.

[Catsrock]

Although his role was very small in Billy Madison I’ve been a fan of Norm every since he proclaimed an evening of lighting bags of poo on fire was “the best night of his life.” 😂

[Catsrock]

I say Chappelle’s stand up is pretty good but his show was on a level all it’s own. Somewhere under my gut are some abs that still hurt from the Rick James and Prince bits he did.

My favorite “clean” stand ups are a Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan and Ryan Hamilton

Bargatzke is probably my favorite younger or non-legend comic. His bit with his wife and airplanes really gets me.

I really like Chapelle (just behind Norm), but he looks so uncomfortable when he isn't on stage, I'm not sure I would enjoy meeting him.

It hasn't aged well, but when I was a kid I much preferred Bill Cosby to Prior or Murphy. (while acknowledging their respective greatness)

I have read a couple of anecdotes of people who've met him - take them with a huge grain of salt. But the constant in the anecdotes is that the participants were blitzed out of their mind.

Both stated he was a good dude, though.

I should point out that I did not say anything to him when I spotted him at the gas station. I just assume they are normal people who want to be left alone, and the few times I've been in the presence of celebrities, the only thing I've ever done is kind of nod my head and say hi and continue on.

Same.

Martin Short did accidentally end up mingling with guests at my wedding reception though. He seemed to enjoy talking to them. Maybe he was bored and just wanted people to talk to.

Bill Murray was famous for that too, just showing up at people's weddings and bachelor/bachelorette parties. Trump does it too to wedding guests at Mar-A-Lago which is hilarious to me.

I spot someone I recognize almost every time I eat at Malone's in Lexington.
