He was even more direct in 2018 when he told Vulture’s David Marchese, “I’ve heard people go on stage and talk about cancer or some shit, and I go, ‘Isn’t this what happens to everybody?’ They seem to think they’re singular in their story when their story is the most common story that could possibly be, which is suffering and pain.” Referring to his “Uncle Bert,” the comedian joked, “Here’s how he battled cancer: Lying in a hospital bed watching Matlock.” In his 2011 special Me Doing Stand-Up, Macdonald pointedly joked about the idea of “battling” cancer. Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show famously canceled his planned appearance in 2018 after he criticized the #MeToo movement and framed his friend Roseanne Barr as a victim. And so really I would self-destruct, as you can see if you watch it, even more so than I normally would, because of that.”Ĭontroversy continued to follow Macdonald, who was never shy about speaking his mind, even if it meant angering his increasingly woke critics. “So every episode I would not smile, I would just throw away everything. “I had never been in a position before where people might think I’m the good boy who comes in when this guy is acting up,” Quinn said of Macdonald. Macdonald was replaced by comedian Colin Quinn, who recently told The Last Laugh podcast that he “sabotaged” himself on “Weekend Update” out of loyalty to his friend. I guess there were three victims that night. “I guess I was the greatest rusher-to-judgment.” While he said he feels “sorry for the victims of the double murder,” he joked, “although I guess I was a victim also.
was the greatest rusher in the history of the NFL?” Macdonald asked.
Speaking to The Daily Beast just a few years ago, Macdonald said he’s now “not completely sure he’s guilty anymore,” adding, “I’m almost completely sure, but I’m not completely sure.” He opened the first “Weekend Update” after the not guilty verdict came back with, “Well, it’s official: Murder is now legal in the state of California.” Luckily for O.J., lawyers forgot to ask if he had ever cut her head off.” Simpson claimed that he never beat, choked, or hit his ex-wife with a closed or open fist. It was at that moment that he realized he would never be able to kill her again.” And, “In a sworn deposition this week, O.J. RIP.”Īmong the brutal jokes Macdonald delivered about Simpson were, “After grisly photos of the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson were shown in court, O.J. “I would stay up specifically to watch him on talk shows. I was a huge fan of Norm Macdonald and I essentially ripped off his delivery when I first started acting,” Seth Rogen admitted. “No one could make you break like Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I love him.”Ĭonan O’Brien, who hosted Macdonald on his show 25 times over the years, shared, “I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. “My dear friend Norm MacDonald passed after a brave 10 year battle,” Jim Carrey wrote. (I’m trying to avoid using the phrase, ‘twinkle in his eyes.’) He was a lifetime Cy Young winner in comedy. I was always delighted by his bizarre mind and earnest gaze. Always up to something, never certain, until his matter-of-fact delivery leveled you. “In every important way, in the world of stand-up, Norm was the best,” David Letterman, who featured a tear-jerker send-off from Macdonald during his final week as host of The Late Show, said in a statement to The Daily Beast. Tributes from shocked comedian friends immediately began pouring in on Tuesday afternoon.
