Norm Macdonald and Dirty Work – 1998 – ep 112

Old Millennials Remember Movies

Norm Macdonald was a favorite of the Old Millennials Remember Movies team. Hosts Tyler and Angela react to the shocking death of the legendary comedian by taking a special "Norm journey" through memories and favorite moments from his career. After all, they both watched a whole lot of Norm on The TeeV. Back in high school, Tyler was even known for having a bit of a "Norm voice." There were many, many hours spent recording "Weekend Update" bits from "Saturday Night Live," and Tyler captured nearly every episode of Norm's ABC sitcom with his trusty VCR, even when it meant abandoning a high school social life in order to make sure it recorded properly. Tyler and Angela discuss their favorite moments with Norm, including his infamous appearance on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?," The Moth, his "memoir," the time he came back to host "SNL" after being fired, and all those viciously inappropriate jokes he wrote on those blue note cards throughout his run of "Norm MacDonald Live." And Tyler and Angela tell the story of meeting Norm in person after a live comedy show about 10 years ago. At one point, Norm patted Angela's head. It was amazing. The main feature of this episode is Norm's 1998 starring vehicle, "Dirty Work," directed by THAT Bob Saget and featuring a wide variety of other comedy legends in small roles, including Chevy Chase and Don Rickles. It's also Chris Farley's final film appearance, and, well, his nose needs some attention. The Old Millennials discuss the still-incredible fish gag, Norm's very specific brand of "acting," what "off-color" jokes from the 1990s that can't be told now, and whether or not that car trunk can comfortably store a dead hooker. "These cars are fully-loaded." "They're loaded with dead hookers!" Rest in Peace, Norm. Here's your two dollars.
