"One time I remember, I was a little kid, I was like eight-years-old, and I was behind my garage. I was sneaking a cigarette back there, and my dad caught me- I’ll never forget it. His big head came around the corner of the garage. There it was- my dad’s big head, and then his body right after it- there was his body. Trailing his head, as it often would. And he grabbed me, and he hauled me in, and I thought I was in for the strapping of my life, y’know? What he did is, he pulled out this giant cigar. Must have been half the size of my arm, this big cigar. Stuck it in my mouth, lit it up, made me smoke it. All the way through- right to the end. That’s when I started smoking cigars real heavy. That plan backfired on him.
Then there was another time I remember, now that I’m thinking about it. I was behind the garage again, as luck would have it, and, uh, this time I was smoking a big, fat joint back there. And, uh, (weakly) heh, heh- “don’t do drugs”- ha ha ha ha, and, uh, my dad’s big head showed up again! And- with no body this time, just a big head. That was the funny part. He liked to mix it up like that, y’know? So anyways, he grabbed me there with his teeth and he hauled me in and, uh- I thought I was in for the strapping of my life, y’know? But, uh- he injected me with heroin. So he was a strict man, I’ll tell you that."

This is really sad news. I had no idea Norm MacDonald had been ill. He was a real comedic talent. I'll probably remember him best for his smart-alecky Burt Reynolds on SNL's Jeopardy skits. Really fond of this comedian and sad to see him go too soon.

Me and a friend where watching some of those old Celebrity Jeopardy sketches and we also watched ones with Sean (shwords) Connery. I was disappointed Norm wasn't in it, then in like the last minute, there's suddenly another podium and there's Norm as Reynolds with no explanation. Then he vanishes without explanation.

Rest In Peace. I believe McDonald was the creator of the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches on SNL. Easily one of my favorite recurring sketches. I also enjoyed his other work on SNL and elsewhere, including his small role on The Orville. Definitely lost him too soon. Cancer is brutal.
