Norm Macdonald Uses 20 Tweets to Tell a Robin Williams Story
Normmy Mac is missing Robin Williams, and took to the twitters to share a story about meeting him before his first stand-up appearance on Letterman. Here’s what he wrote, for the non twitter crowd, but you really should read it in tweet form, so we’ve included all the tweets below.
- It was my first stand-up appearance on Letterman and I had to follow the funniest man in the world.
- I was a punk kid from rural Ontario and I was in my dressing room, terrified.
- I was on the phone to a friend back home when the funniest man in the world ambled by.
- There was no one else on the floor. In shock, I told my friend who just walked by. Only the funniest man in the world.
- I guess he heard me say his name, cause in an instant he was at my side.
- He was a jewish tailor, taking my measurements. He went down on his knees, asked which way I dressed.
- I told my friend on the phone that the funniest man in the world was on his knees before me, measuring my inseam.
- My friend didn’t believe me so I said, “Could you talk to my friend, sir.
- The funniest man in the world took the phone and for ten minutes took my friend’s chinese food order.
- I laughed and laughed and it was like I was in a dream because no one else was there. No one.
- The place was out of Moo Shoo Pork, and there was nothing he could do about it.
- He angrily hung up on my friend and I was about to thank him when he said I hadn’t even tried the jacket on.
- Then the funniest man on earth dressed me, a complete stranger, and i remember he ended with a windsor knot.
- He spoke mostly yiddish, but when he finished he was happy with his job and turned me to a mirror to present myself to me.
- No one witnessed any of this. No one.
- The funniest man alive was in my dressing room a good half-hour and was far funnier than the set I had to do soon.
- ll of a sudden it was, had to.
- When he left my dressing room, I felt alone. As alone as I ever remember feeling.
- Until today.
- Unacceptable. #RIPRobinWilliams
