    I was an intern on Conan during this time. I got to meet Norm that day, and watch them shoot that little segment in front of a portable blue screen they set up in front of the curtain where Conan would do his monologue. I remember him doing a few takes and saying "...is... is this funny...?" to the segment producer lol

      Agreed. Letterman and Conan both laugh hysterically when Norm is a guest--like they do with no other comedian. He's very much a comedian's comedian. And, like you say, a genius.

His style is playful in the way that a 9-year-old is playful with an ant under a magnifying glass. He just owns it. Nothing trips him up. He is ALWAYS in total control of his audience's next reaction. I'm just in awe of him.

    "One of the funniest people I've ever met" you can tell Conan meant every word. David Letterman and Louis ck have said the same thing along with many other comics. The public might not always understand Norm's humor but for those who do he is a comic legend.

      I love how his buildup to jokes are usually funnier then his punchline for them. Gives him a lot of freedom with his jokes since he isn't worried about making sure the Punchline is the big laugh instead he just focuses on making sure the entire joke is funny from start to finish like the moth joke he tells its so long that he has to make sure to remind the audience what's happening again towards the end just so they understand the punchline.

      Wise Wolf Tony Norm’s genius is that the buildup is funnier than the punchline, and then he often explains the joke again after, which is even funnier than the buildup! I don’t think there is another comedian who has the timeline and delivery to get away with what he does so well.
