I can't get a Netflix special because I once had the audacity to share that a Netflix executive told me that because they had Chelsea Handler, they didn't need other women...



Meanwhile, Norm Macdonald has a Netflix talk show....

Norm Macdonald has a new show coming out on Netflix. I just checked my calendar and it looks like I can watch it never or never ever ever. https://t.co/gPMsjUjybd — Emily Brandwin (@CIAspygirl) September 11, 2018

You can measure exactly how badly Norm Macdonald screwed up today by the number of white supremacist misogynists who suddenly came out as lifelong fans. — Patrick S. Tomlinson (@stealthygeek) September 12, 2018

Norm Macdonald also said he didn't know that racism existed until Sasha Baron Cohen's show premiered this year. So maybe we should just... not listen to him? He seems not super well informed. Hard to make observational humor when you're not like... observing. — Ashley Nicole Black (@ashleyn1cole) September 11, 2018

Roseanne and Louis have both been very good friends of mine for many years. They both made terrible mistakes and I would never defend their actions. If my words sounded like I was minimizing the pain that their victims feel to this day, I am deeply sorry. — Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) September 11, 2018
