It was taken at the Comedy Store in Hollywood during what would be their last meeting.
“[Macdonald] was uncharacteristically emotional,” Chappelle said during a discussion that’s featured in Macdonald’s posthumous Netflix special, “Norm Macdonald: Nothing Special.”
Chappelle said he included the picture of that meeting in his own special, “The Closer,” which was released last year and dedicated to MacDonald.
Chappelle didn’t realize it at the time, but MacDonald was posing for the picture and giving him “a very fitting goodbye.”
