Norm Macdonald is best known for his 4-year stint on Saturday Night Live where Chevy Chase noted he was the best anchor to ever grace the chair. Although he is known for tv and film appearances, Norm Macdonald is first and foremost, a stand-up comic. Comedy Central named him in their top 100 comedians of all time and he retires all material he has used on specials and guarantees that no two shows will ever be identical. He is a stand-up comedian who must be seen to be believed.

You can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the boy...
