There's no real way to organize this so I'm just gonna spitball a few things
Norm in my opinion was always at his best when he was in a room with people who hate his guts. Many of these jokes were edgy enough to get him in trouble but not so edgy that it's hateful. I wish she had the time to perform the set live because it would be incredible with half of the audience booing him.
Norm has always been the biggest clown in the room, but there's a brief moment where you see how serious he took his craft. About halfway through the special, one of his dogs starts barking for a moment. The character he creates would make you think that he would get distracted or make a mention about it, but for a brief moment he broke character. He was completely unfazed. For a few seconds we got to see that everything he's ever done on stage has been on purpose.
I laughed a lot. It also made me sad. There are some moments he talked about things like mortality where you realize he understands his time is limited.
Like I said I don't really have a format for this. I just know that I really enjoyed this and I will be watching it again.

Norms not the greatest stand up ever......Howeverhe is a top 20, He is however the best panel guest ever and his norm macdonald live show was the best ever......Norm's full comedic body of (Especially his book) work solidifies him as one of the most prolific and greatest comedians ever, EVER.....This special was just average for him, Considering there is no Audience, You can kind of tell he's laboring at times, And knowing what we kno now, Some of the jokes make u sad rather than Laugh...........Watch this as a memorial for the GOAT and listen to Chappelle, Sandler, Conan, Molly Shannon Letterman and Spade tell stories about Norm and Regale the people with how brilliant Norm truly was.
I personally don't think this needed an audience or a stage. Presentation doesn't matter only the material. And in my opinion the material is fantastic and had us laughing really hard.
The only bad thing is this is the last set Norm has given us. Thank you Norm, what a parting gift.
The realization that there is no longer a Norm Mcdonald in the world, the best comedian in my view, feels too grim a realization.

It's norm. If you love norm you'll love this, if you don't, its norm, so you're most likely wrong.
Great fun and old fella rambles on and it's very funny. Sucks that this is most likely his last special but it'll do! RIP Norm.

- TriviaAll entries contain spoilers
- GoofsThe Netflix Corporation (or the producers) added informative background information titling and words to the very beginning of this footage. They say that Norm recorded this at home all in one take. It seems yes, the audio is definitely completely one take, however, the video does actually cut to different shots and angles - so, technically, this is not one fluid camera take.
