“$25,000 worth of chips in his fridge”: Adam Sandler Recollects Norm Macdonald’s Hilariously Failed Attempt at Saving Taxes

Netflix has a great lineup of comedy specials. These specials are from the best
comedians in business like Dave Chappelle, Ali Wong, and even Kevin Hart. You
can pick any of these specials and be sure to laugh till it ends nonstop.
However, there is a new, rather unconventional special by Norm Macdonald that
has just started streaming on Netflix and making people emotional.

The special was recorded by the late Saturday Night Live alumni on the day
before he had a critical medical procedure. At the end of the special, all of
the friends of the comedian talk about his life and their experiences with him.
Among the speakers are David Letterman
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/david-letterman/], Dave Chappelle
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/dave-chappelle/], Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien,
Molly Shannon, and David Spade. While all the comedians are sharing stories
about their departed friends, Adam shares a hilarious story of Norm’s gambling
addiction.


NORM MACDONALD HAD A GENIUS WAY OF SAVING TAXES

In his last special ever, Norm Macdonald
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/norm-macdonald] decided to record all the
material he had been working on as he was unable to perform in the middle of
covid. All that recorded material took the shape of Norm Macdonald: Nothing
Special. 

And at the end of the special, all the colleagues and close friends of the
dearly departed comedian come together to talk about the death of their friends
as his life.

While talking about his life, Conan points out that Norm’s gambling addiction
was a huge part of it. On the topic of gambling, Adam
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/adam-sandler/] shared a hilarious story of Norm
recalling how he chose to keep the chips he won in the fridge.

Adam shares that when one day both of them were chilling at Norm’s apartment and
Adam went to the fridge to get a soda, he found a stack of gambling chips in the
fridge. Adam says, “I open up his fridge and, I swear to God $25,000 worth of
chips in his fridge”

The reason given by Norm was that he wanted to figure a way out to not pay taxes
on the money he had won in Atlantic City. Apart from numerous appearances on
SNL, Adam and Norm also did a movie together, Happy Gilmore.
