Norm MacDonald is dead. The old chunk of coal has ceased to be. He fought a ten year long silent battle with cancer and finally decided to call it a draw. He was a deeply closeted gay man to the end, but he was never actually gay, because he refused to come out. He also never owned a doghouse. He was the only comedian brave enough to openly declare that he thought Hitler was a real JERK. The greatest tragedy of his passing is that we will now never know where his ideas came from. 

In this episode we pay tribute to a real one. Alan Moore's Watchmen treated the death of a comedian like an ill omen for things to come. This sinking feeling takes us back to remember others gone too soon like Patrice O'Neal and Terry Jones. We then find ourselves looking at the degradation of classic late night television since the days of Letterman, Conan and Craig Ferguson. Although as a public service message, we also elaborate on why the State Bank of India is possibly the best bank in the world. (Not Sponsored. Yet)
