Today I watched Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald. When I first heard Judd Apatow talking about this documentary, and how it's entirely told using archival footage, I was concerned. But now that's I've watched it I can't imagine it being done any other. Kudos to the filmmakers.
I've always loved Norm Macdonald. Like many of you, I first saw Norm as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. He'd eventually host Weekend Update until he made a powerful enemy with his relentless jokes about OJ Simpson. Then there was Dirty Work and The Norm Show and I was there for all of it, but my favourite Norm anything was when he'd appear on a late night talk show. There was no better guest.
Norm and Courtney Thorne-Smith talking about the Carrot Top film Chairman of the Board is now the stuff of legend, but I caught it on Conan during the initial airing and knew I was witnessing history.
The doc is very good, and a big recommend from me. What seems to be the problem, moth?
