Seven of his best friends, plus Mona de Grenoble, who he met that evening, came together to pay tribute to the Piment Fort host while poking fun at every aspect of his eventful life.
Here’s a highlight from each of the “roasters”:
Laurent Paquin:
“Normand is the only black actor for whom playing the Haitian accent is cultural appropriation.”
Richardson Zephyr:
“Let’s talk about the one who opened all the doors to the people of my community but kept all the keys.”
Alex Peron:
“If we were a duo, you and me, it would have been Black and Fic, and it wouldn’t be happening today. And I’m not saying which is which… It depends on the parts!”
Yves P. Pelletier:
“When I saw pied de poudre… oops, pied de poule…”
Luce Dufault:
She sang a parody of Soir de Scotch making fun of her alcoholism.
Real Beland:
He brought a man with big feet onto the stage. Apparently Norm doesn’t like feet.
Max Martin:
“We all have an extraordinary daughter. We send the worst message to society. Get drunk then freeze your face it will make beautiful children.
Mona from Grenoble:
“I ate up cab seats because yes, I take cabs when I drink.”
