His deadpan monotone delivery. His ascerbic wit, constant roasting. Steady & intimidating And he never broke or laughed (that I've ever seen). A bit of a writing & comedic performance genius in my opinion.
I don't know. I watched him on SNL and it never did much for me.
I didn't really know much about him until fairly recently, I remembered when he died and everyone on Reddit was mourning him and I had never really heard of him, but lately I've been binge-watching Norm Macdonald clips on YouTube and oh my gosh I'm captivated by him.
kind of similar sense of deadpan captivating humor as Nathan Fielder who I also just recently became aware of and I'm also currently mesmerized by.
Maybe I'll have another look. I just found him not memorable on SNL but that's not always the best way someone can display their talents.
Try this compilation okay he's not absolutely the best comedian to ever grace the planet, and some patience is required to hang on to listening to him until he builds up to the joke, but I just like his personality he is so calm and deadpan, I don't know why I'm making a post about him but blah blah blah
I will when it's not 530 am haha.
If you didn't like his Weekend Update bits they were some of his best stuff IMO. You might also look at his guest appearances on Conan O'Brien, he regularly cracked Conan up.
