Norm Macdonald made the other comedians laugh
True genius
Norm could spot a killer before the audience did
Watching Norm Macdonald and David Spade revisit their SNL days, I got stuck on something Norm said about Dana Carvey.
Before Carvey performed his old-man character, Norm thought the idea was weak. Carvey basically told him to watch what happened next.
Then he destroyed.
And as he walked away, he leaned over and told Norm to go f*** himself.
To me, that’s the perfect comedy story: one comedian knows the idea looks ridiculous, the other knows exactly what he can do with it. 😂

I just know Patrick Stewart is walking along in heaven, seeing a beautiful girl whose clothes have just fallen off, and she's scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, Patrick's seen everything.

In 1987, Patrick Stewart refused to unpack his suitcase for six straight weeks.
My throat still tightens every time I read why.
Every Hollywood insider told the 47-year-old British stage actor that Star Trek: The Next Generation would be a disaster. Even his closest friend, Ian McKellen, begged him not to throw away his Shakespearean career on a television gamble.
Stewart kept his bags packed by the door, waiting to be fired and sent home to London.
That "six-week failure" lasted 36 years.
Watching him late at night here in Japan, we saw something Hollywood never expected.
In Japan, we call this quiet, unbreakable spirit "Fudoshin," an immovable heart under fire.
Most action heroes scream and fire weapons to look strong.
Captain Picard never needed to raise his voice.
Born into deep poverty in Yorkshire, terrified of a violent home, he left school at age 15 and lost all his hair by 19, convinced his life as an actor was over before it began.
Yet one English teacher, Cecil Dormand, handed that frightened 12-year-old boy a copy of Shakespeare, said "Read it out loud," and secretly paid for his first drama course.
Never forget what happened decades later.
On the morning Queen Elizabeth II knighted him as Sir Patrick Stewart, he invited that same retired schoolteacher to sit beside him at his knighthood luncheon.
No suitcase left unpacked.
No rage on the bridge.
Just a cup of Earl Grey tea, a tug of his uniform, and three quiet words that commanded the galaxy:
"Make it so."
He passed away at 86 surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, and laughter.
And this December, in Avengers: Doomsday, Professor X will grace the screen one final time.
A boy who thought he wouldn't last six weeks in Hollywood gave the world an eternity of nobility.
From Japan, with tears and our deepest salute:
Thank you, Captain. Engage. ✨🖖🇯🇵

Well said.
Everyone is furious at the prankster.
They are missing the real tragedy.
Man A wakes up at 5 AM, works 10 stores,
and misses his 4 kids' bedtime—
yet still can’t afford his mortgage.
Boy B produces nothing, mocks working men
with a phone, and makes thousands in clout.
The problem isn't a pizza company.
It’s a broken system that punishes the Builder
and rewards the Parasite.
When a father’s sweat buys less than
a clown’s disrespect, a nation loses its soul.
Restore the dignity of honest work.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.
