Hey everyone, in today's video I discuss Norm Macdonald's sitcom "The Norm Show" and how ABC totally dropped the ball. Following Norm's firing from Saturday Night Live as well as his blazing performance while hosting the 6th annual ESPY awards and comedy movie 'Dirty Work' Bruce Helfort would collaborate with Norm Macdonald to create "The Norm Show". The show was initially very well-received with it's dry and sardonic style of humor similar to what Norm was well-known for on SNL's Weekend Update, but ABC would start to shuffle around the time slots on Wednesday Night, andduring Season 3 they even shifted the show to Friday night completely unnanounced and continued to shuffle around the time slot. This as well as the show decreasing in quality overall in Season 3 led to the ratings crashing and the show eventually being cancelled by ABC. Anyway, If you enjoyed this comedy deep dive video enough please like the video, subscribe to the channel, turn on post notifications, and share this
