[Hari Seldon]

Damn what a legend. I have had his auto-biography on my audible wishlist for a while, time to pick it up.

 

[mortal]

Hilarious unapologetic comedy. His dark sense of humor was one of a kind.

RIP

 

[Aesius]

Norm is my hero. This cannot be.

 

[Space Runaway]

Crazy. RIP

 

[Forsete]

Damn. RIP

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Shit. He had it for 10 years and didnt publicize it. Never really followed his career but everytime he was randomly on a talk show he was funny as hell how he tells stories.

 

[jshackles]

RIP you legend

 

[KaiserBecks]

You got to be fucking kidding me, I refuse to believe this is true.

 

[Vagswarm]

Didn't expect that to happen... had no idea he had cancer either. Another unfortunate loss.

 

[RavageX]

Unexpected. His humor was different and could generally make me laugh.

 

[Nobody_Important]

Loved his stuff. That voice of his was iconic.



Fuck cancer.

 

[jonnyp]

Noooo

 

[BennyBlanco]

Fuck. This one hurts. One of the funniest people to ever breathe. RIP.

 

[BadBurger]

Terrible news. One of the few comedians who seemed to have been making me laugh my entire life until now.

 

[UncleMeat]

Wow, this sucks. Norm is my favorite comedian.

The Bob Saget roast is probably my favorite bit ever. And his appearances on Conan were always great.

 

[SentientStone]

RIP my man.
Death of your favourite celebrities and COVID really does get you thinking about mortality.

 

[Umbasaborne]

God damn this is fucking me up. One of the greatest comedians of all time, rest in peace.

 

[ManaByte]

JESUS FUCK NO

Everyone go watch DIRTY WORK right now.


And remember how he was fired from SNL from making OJ Simpson jokes:

 

[Dynasty8]

Fuck Cancer. RIP.

 

[kingwingin]

An absolute legend...

 

[ManaByte]

 

[belmarduk]

Horrible news. The man was a comedic genius.

 

[Ogbert]

Fuck.

Absolute titan. Genuinely didn’t give a fuck. The best delivery.

 

[CrankyJay™]

Shit. That sucks. Just saw him at Caroline’s in NYC in November 2019

this is the third comedian I’ve seen live that has died:

Hedberg
Carlin
MacDonald

 

[ClanOfNone]

Norm, my dad, and countless others. Fuck cancer.
RIP Norm, you were amazing.

 

[AJUMP23]

He was funny.... This has caught me by surprise. I wish the best for his family.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[MrMephistoX]

This sucks he was one of my favorite comedians of all time. Had no idea he was even sick although just like Chadwick Bozeman in hindsight you can kind of see it in his recent YouTube stuff:

 

[ThatStupidLion]

[Lupingosei]

Fuck, Norm was one of the last of his kind.

RIP

One of my favorite Norm moments. He and Conan had such great chemistry together.
