Norm MacDonald Eviscerates ESPN Awards Show (1998)

[Chuck]

So last night was the ESPY's and Shohei Ohtani won the best MLB award on the show. 

I didn't watch it, but seeing clips on social media got me to thinking of Norm MacDonald's (RIP) fire monologue that wouldn't play these days with everyone being so sensitive thanks to the far left woke and those on a crusade to bring racism back.

Anyhow, enjoy. This was quite the roast.

Man, he was the best. Honestly, I only think 2 (maybe 1) of those jokes wouldn’t have made it today as is, and one of them I don’t think would have made it would only have to be changed slightly.

He saved what I was anticipating for last.  Worth it.

Still could have used at least one reference to, you guessed it...Frank Stallone.
