NORM: THE TALE OF NORM MACDONALD
The film
Judd Apatow’s documentary on Norm Macdonald uses archival footage, photos, and home videos to chronicle the SNL legend’s career—from “Weekend Update” anchor to master of absurd, deadpan comedy whose influence endures.
This is basically a glorified clip show, but still really great. If you’re a fan of Norm, and how could you not be, this is still very much worth your time. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up a bit at the end.
Netflix.
