Nothing Special is Norm Macdonald's posthumous stand-up special, released on May 30, 2022, and available exclusively on Netflix.
In this unique 50-minute performance, Macdonald, facing health challenges and the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic, recorded the material alone in his home without a live audience.
The special showcases Macdonald's signature deadpan delivery and sharp wit as he delves into topics such as casinos, cannibalism, living wills, and the unpredictability of life.
Following the stand-up segment, the special features a roundtable discussion with comedians Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Adam Sandler, Molly Shannon, and David Spade, reflecting on Macdonald's life, career, and the content of the special.
Nothing Special received critical acclaim, earning three Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded), Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special.
