• In the first transcript, I talked about how Norm Macdonald was a handsome guy who grew up on a farm with his grandpa, calling him one of the funniest guys on the planet. I referred to him as a national treasure and expressed surprise that he's not the biggest comic of all time, but he's certainly in the Hall of Fame.

• In the second transcript, I reminisce about an occasion I was on a plane sitting next to Norm Macdonald and we talked about Dennis Miller's obscure references in his comedy routines. I praised Norm's appearances on the Dennis Miller show and admired his decision to keep his terminal illness private, calling him a "G".

• The third transcript mentions the time Norm was on The View. I recalled how he accidentally misspoke about having consensual sex with a woman and the subsequent controversy that arose on the eve of the airing of his Netflix show. He was defending Louis and Roseanne, which stirred things up.

• In the fourth transcript, I discussed the aftermath of Norm's controversy on The View and how Netflix didn't want him to address the controversy. I criticized the societal pressure against off-color jokes and expressed sympathy for Norm, specifically over his reluctance to use the word "retard" on Howard Stern's show.

Norm is a true original, a master of humor and subtlety. His ability to make any subject hilarious and his fearless tackling of sensitive topics, he is undeniably in the comedy hall of fame.
