What is Norm Macdonald's 'moth' joke?
However, certainly one of Macdonald's comic profession highlights did not come on SNL; as an alternative, it came throughout a 2009 interview on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.
During his interview with O'Brien, Macdonald tells a joke a couple of moth who sees a podiatrist.
“What’s the issue?” the podiatrist asks.
“What’s the issue? Where do I start? I'm going to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long, I paintings. Honestly, document, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich is aware of.
"He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm," the moth says.
The insect adds: "A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexandria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us.

"And my other boy, and this is the toughest pill to swallow, doc. My different boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I not love him.
"As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror."

The moth continues: "If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and ends this hellish facade once and for all.
"Doc, from time to time I feel like a spider, even if I’m a moth, just slightly striking on to my internet with an enduring hearth underneath me. I’m no longer feeling good."
And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”
To which the moth replies: “Cause the light was on.”
What was Norm Macdonald's cause of death?
Macdonald's management firm confirmed his death to Deadline and revealed the former SNL star was fighting cancer for almost a decade.
His longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra revealed: "He used to be maximum happy with his comedy. He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the target market or any of his family members noticed him.
"Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”
The type of cancer the comedian died of is unspecified.
The TV star landed on the mainstream radar thanks to SNL, as he made his debut in the iconic sketch comedy show in 1993, leaving in 1998.
During his tenure, Macdonald was most remembered for his role as the Weekend Update anchor for three seasons, most notably his dry, quick wit.
Norm would also appear in various sketches when he wasn't behind the desk, including his memorable impersonation of Burt Reynolds on Celebrity Jeopardy.
