Norm Macdonald was an all-time great TV guest. We've rounded up some of his best moments, from stealing the show from Courtney Thorne-Smith to masterfully hosting the ESPYs to his classic telling of “The Moth Joke”
Photo: monticello roudi/YouTube Norm Macdonald was a stand-up and SNL legend, not to mention a fine comedic actor when given the shot to do his own thing. But it truly was must-see TV when he was invited to someone else’s party, whether as a guest or, infamously, awards-show host. Mixing rambling stories, zingers, anti-comedy bits, and just interacting with whomever happened to be sitting next to him, Macdonald always slayed .
Here, he decided that the death of Steve Irwin — which had happened ten days earlier — was the topic he needed to discuss on that night’s Daily Show. Even this many years later, we can all feel like Jon Stewart: “Please don’t make me laugh at this.”Roasts have a formula: Viciously shit on everyone along the dais, then say something nice to the guest of honor at the end.
