Norm MacDonald Did Not Drop the Mic in His Last Special, ‘Nothing Special’ Because He “Paid for it”

This is one of the most heartbreaking news for the fans of Norm MacDonald.
Netflix recently streamed his final stand-up video, which he had recorded at
home. Nothing Special was MacDonald’s last stand-up piece, which he was working
very hard on prior to his demise.


NORM MACDONALD HAD NOTHING SPECIAL TO SAY…

Norm MacDonald

was secretly suffering from leukemia for the past 9 years. He had to go through
a procedure in the summer of 2022. He “didn’t want to leave anything on the
table in case things went south” so, the night before undergoing the procedure,
he shot this video, which is streaming on Netflix. This show has some of Norm’s
close friends delivering commentaries after the recorded video. He talks about
casinos, life, religion, and how life throws you away. He also talks about the
afterlife and himself as well.

As soon as the video ends, Dave Chappelle said, ‘I looked at it (the show) like
a swimming meet with no water,’ and we all felt that. He appreciated Norm’s
spirit and said that this piece was endearing.

David Letterman [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/David-letterman] exclaimed that
it would have been a gift for the people present at the time of recording! He
said that the show was terrific and energetic. Chappelle said he had forgotten
how poetic Norm was. Whenever Norm was up on stage, he would deliver his content
in such a way that it would be funny, sarcastic, and poetic all at the same
time.

Macdonald absolutely had the power of delivering in the most savage way. His
fans celebrated him for the same. This strength of his would drive other comics
further into discomfort.

As Norm says in the beginning, Macdonald loves gambling. He was really a
gambler, as Letterman and others discussed. He would put everything at stake for
the jokes he loved, regardless of the reactions of the audiences. “His joy at
landing a dud, it was heroic,” said Letterman.


NORM DIDN’T DROP THE MIC!

Artists like Norm Macdonald [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/norm-macdonald] never
leave the souls of their admirers. He was a great artist and a friend. He was
special, as said by Chappelle because even when they didn’t know each other in
the 90s, Norm made Chapelle laugh and got him out of his traumas. Norm healed
him.

Letterman then shared his admiration for Norm. “The element that I always
admired was the connection to the audience,” said David. He added how audience
was the late comedian’s partner and without them, one wouldn’t get the full
measure of Norm.

Adam Sandler [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/adam-sandler] agrees with David and
says that exactly the same kind of atmosphere would be created when Norm would
generally sit down with them and hang out after the show. He was just so
naturally funny. Conan O’Brien then shared that he had the best word choice of
maybe any comedian he’s ever seen. “He’s constantly screwing with you on every
level,” says Conan, and everyone shares a big laugh! He compares his word choice
with Mark Twain. Maybe all the viewers would agree with him. Because whenever
Macdonald would make a joke, his audience could relate to it so easily. That’s
one of the greatest strengths that Norm had.

Watching Norm Macdonald performing like that on a recorded video is too
overwhelming for the viewers. All these friends, along with Molly Shannon and
David Spade, made our hearts feel heavy. Maybe this is the kind of closure his
friends and fans needed. This is a true tribute
[https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/may/30/norm-macdonald-nothing-special-netflix]
to Norm, remembering him and laughing just like he made everybody laugh.

Therefore, even though he dropped the mic, he didn’t really drop it. He would
always live in the hearts of his loved ones. Have you seen Nothing Special
