Back in 1998, Norm MacDonald was fresh off of Saturday Night Live, where he was unceremoniously let go for his frequent O.J. Simpson jokes. (It should be noted that NBC President Don Ohlmeyer was a close friend of Simpson’s). It was during this time that he starred in the film Dirty Work. Though not a commercial or critical success when it came out, like many other comedies from that era, it would later gain cult classic status, thanks to a loyal fanbase.

Who was the real Andy Kaufman? It’s a question that had people scratching their heads even before the actor/performance artist—who was often pigeonholed as being a comedian, much to his own chagrin—passed away in 1984 at the age of 35. Within his too-short lifetime, the Taxi star managed to pack in a lifetime’s worth of rich material that we’re still analyzing today.

With the summer nearly upon us and the weather getting warmer, maybe now would be a good time to Chill. Comedian Joe Mande is here to do just that in his new stand-up special. In the special - which is his second -, Mande hilariously (and calmly) shares his thoughts on the topics of love, basketball, gun control, mayonnaise, and the size of animal genitalia. What more could you ask for in a comedy special? Joe Mande: Chill is available on our 800 Pound Gorilla YouTube channel now.
