      I’ve only seen it once, but his last special feels less like a stand-up show and more like you’re on a zoom call with Norm while he tries out material. It’s funny, but I really missed all the “oohs” and grumbles from the audience when he would stick his toe over the line and then grin at the reaction.

      It’s also very bittersweet, because it includes a bunch of Norm’s comedian friends sharing memories about him and being visibly sad that he’s gone.

        I keep rewatching Norm MacDonald Live! on internet archive. Its the best of Norm imo. The Superdave Episode (the real first one, not the fake after the fact, produced one), where Superdave (I think) is literally not in on the joke till the last 20 minutes, it might be one of the funniest pieces of comedy out there.

          Is that the one where he insists “I’m not part of this!” over and over? Lol

            Yes.

            The “What are you doing with your life?” one, where he only finds out its live like 45 minutes in.
