Ugh. One of finest country songwriters of all time. This one hurts.

All I know about him was he had some hits in the 70's. RIP Tom T Hall.

RIP Charlie Watts. One of the best of the best. The quiet & dignified Rolling Stone.

well betty white is the last one standing....again. Carl's been reunited with Ellie

his last tweet before passing 

I wonder if MTM made a bigger impression than I would have thought, how many people went into journalism because of this show?

Oh, no. That's very sad. I'm glad she got to see the opening of the clinic.

He was amazing as Omar. Truly iconic character. Rest in power, Mike. 

I have never watched Boardwalk Empire but should. He was apparently great as Chalky White.

Wow. 

[Jpan85]

My Favourite Norm MacDonald. The sub context is how dirty all the jokes where the hole night then Norm comes out.

[MOBomberFan]

Norm.... so sad. One of the funniest guys out there. Such delivery. The anti-punchline, barely ever saw it comjng

A talented guy who struggled with a gambling addiction that derailed his career and devastated his personal life.

This is one of my favorites from Norm. 

 

[JCon]

This one gets me laughing out loud every time. 

Absolutely hilarious. Fearless.

Normy was one of my favorite comedians. So glad I got see his show a few years back at Rumors. It was supposed to be about 50 minutes or so but he wanted to keep on going and ended up performing for an extra 45 minutes. 

I watch his clips on YouTube everyday. There is one site - I'm not Norm - that posts something everything day, so that normally sends me down another Norm rabbit hole.

A few of my favorite Norm stuff is his visits with Conan and his interactions with Super Dave.
