This weekend, coinciding with the Netflix Is a Joke festival, friends gathered to finally mourn Norm Macdonald.
Vulture has reached out to Netflix for comment.
According to Spade, the special is just Norm seated and doing his set to no one during lockdown.
He just said You know, I keep trying to do my set.
And he was getting weaker, which we didnt know.
And they keep shutting down theaters, and they wouldnt let him go.
Spade says that Netflix decided to use the test footage as part of a documentary.
I definitely cried, Spade said, about watching his dead friend do material about his mother.
Spade says its classic Norm stuff, unpolished but still very much his POV.
He was smoother than my special.
