Norm Macdonald Shot One Last Secret Netflix Special Before He Died

Before he passed away, Norm Macdonald had a final wish: to put together one last stand-up special for the public. Now, that secret material will finally air to the public on Netflix, The Hollywood Reporter has shared.

Macdonald, who passed away last September at the age of 61, had been battling cancer since 2012, keeping his illness private. As he worked on new material for another Netflix special in the summer of 2020, he had to check into the hospital. Worried about the next steps in his career, Macdonald decided he would make the special unique.

“His test results were not good, so during the heart of COVID-19 pandemic and literally the night before going in for a procedure, he wanted to get this on tape just in case—as he put it—things went south,” Macdonald’s long-time producing partner, Lori Jo Hoekstra, told THR. “It was his intention to have a special to share if something happened.”
