A lof of love for him indeed, on this thread. Like others, I saw him on Update (I never saw his movie), and I might have seen his show once or twice. I enjoyed him on WU. He had that same way of speaking, similar to Dennis Miller. A lot of VERY funny clips. The Moth joke seemed classic for him.

I've never felt so punched in the gut by the death of someone I never met. It's the first thing I thought of when I woke up today.
That is why he was fired from Saturday Night Live. One of the major affiliates was a close friend of Simpson.
Conan just put out a podcast episode about Norm Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend: Conan Talks About Norm Macdonald on Apple Podcasts
