Norm Macdonald used Charles Woodson in setup for one of the best ESPYs jokes ever

Comedy fans around the world are mourning the loss of Norm Macdonald, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 61. The late comic, known for his precise delivery and deadpan style of humor, was privately battling cancer for the last nine years.

Macdonald was best known for his time spent on Saturday Night Live in the 1990s, where he anchored the Weekend Update segment. Many of his iconic moments came at the expense of OJ Simpson during his trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, his ex-wife, and Ron Goldman.

While hosting the ESPYs in 1998, Macdonald may have delivered one of his most crushing blows to Simpson.
