Ah! Good call, Steve Sunshine.
BTW for anyone who hasn't heard of Norm Macdonald, he was a Canadian comedian (died in 2021) who appeared on Saturday Night Live in the 90s, as well as various other things. His humour was a bit offbeat and hard to describe - usually kind of deadpan with touches of the absurd at times. Or he'd start by saying what seemed to be a normal joke, then the payoff was something either unexpectedly banal or unexpectedly shocking. I recommend the 'Norm Macdonald Live' video podcasts, excerpts of which are on YT, usually with a different guest each time (there was Stephen Merchant, Jim Carrey, Russell Brand, Jerry Seinfeld...)
