Man, I'm not one to make much of celebrities, but Norm's death just hit me hard.

One of the all time greats.
He held out for one last 9/11.

'Carey Price, the Montreal Canadiens goaltender will be away from the team while taking part in the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.'

Substance abuse or mental health it appears. No details ATM.

Yea, Norm's death was a massive bummer.

I was still young during his weekend update era and that deadpan sarcastic style of comedy he did completely blew my mind.

It's a massive loss with no more Norm.

The talk show he did on Netflix was great (especially the David Spade episode) and I'd love to be able to find more episodes of the internet based talk show he did, because I saw an interview with Super Dave that was hilarious.

Are we taking a softer stance on the "no politics" rule on this forum lol? Whatever the case that was an excellent read and I plan to pass it along to some friends and associates. Thanks for posting.

If you loved his Netflix show you will love his video podcast. I thought his Netflix show sucked in comparison. The Super Dave episode was the first and honestly probably the funniest one, but they're all great.

Here's all of them. Happy binging! (Remove spaces)

Didn't know what I would think of the movie Arrival... But it was pretty devastating.
And, man, the music.
