I think Andy really got the essence of Norm's humor when he compared him to someone who would take you on a 4 mile hike to show you a dog turd, an observation that had Norm fall to his knees laughing and then shake Andy's hand.
I cry laughed at that video (The dog turd one) and also noted that he changed the name of Marine Land in the joke to Sea World to make sure the audience could relate.
My favorite Norm bit was the gift basket he brought to Conan on his last Tonight Show appearance. Had me rolling then, and will still have me rolling today.
Same. Absolutely brutal roast of Conan during a truly tough time in his life, and you can tell he really appreciated his friend Norm bringing humor to the situation.
@@brianb2783 Yeah, you can tell Conan was genuinely delighted with what Norm was doing, even though it was also razor sharp, LOL. Of course, that’s a common theme in Norm/Conan moments.😀
I think one thing that made Norm's bits work so well is that he always sounded completely insincere and mildly snarky no matter if he was being genuine or playing a character or what, so you really had no way of telling when he was taking you on a long detour to an absurd dead end or when he was relaying an actual anecdote. His roast of Bob Saget is delivered identically to his interviews. That's a practiced skill, to have such a consistent affect.
I think it’s better than Conan realizes. It wasn’t random; he took this image of a heroic Sully and said the guy is really just a boring nothing pilot - which in turn said something about how we lionize people. All of that is in a seemingly random throwaway but when Norm does it.
Theres 3 people i really miss and i still tear up when i think about them. Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, and norm macdonald. I think about them alot.
Hey there, social media staffer...just wanted to say, you're doing a great job and we realize that it's a whole team that creates the funny! The operations/revenue side gets little attention but I see you!
And it's been like that since the beginning of Team Coco, more than a decade ago. I remember applying to be an intern and I was so blown away at their team at every level.
I'm so glad Conan referenced this, because when I was 20 years old when Norm was on for this (2009 - also the episode with the tremendous Gordon Ramsay Cooking Segment) - my friends and I would quote this sketch relentlessly: to the point that we still do today. "Kitchener Leslie - the old Hobo waiting in wait for his time" when talking about the old homeless people from the Great Depression coming back due to the current economic recession in the US at that time. Another bit was near the end of the Sully skit where Norm completely blanks out on his own bit on how to pronounce Sully Sullenberger's last name: "Yeah, he and his wife....Lorie Sunkleburger...wait, what was her name?" and Norm cracks up in laughter and Conan just holds his head while Norm gleefully explains "I wrote this bit 20 minutes ago!". Rest In Peace, Norm. One of my favorite Norm/Conan appearances.
Jim Downey and Norm has such a similar/overlapping sense of humor. As Jim put it, it's hilarious to waste people's time. Many jokes they did on SNL and after were along those lines. Moth joke, Moorehead Grayson are good examples as well, of both of their humor.
Norm was a kind of passive aggressive Andy Kaufman. Both would take you on mindless journeys to somewhere...Kaufman to the point of pissing you off, But Norm always had a payoff.
There is hardly a clip from Conan's various shows that I haven't seen, and I can confidently say that Conan's most interesting and funniest segments are when (respectively) Bill Burr, Kevin Nealon, and Norm MacDonald are his guests.
Andy Kaufman. I actually think Norm always had a wink - he didn’t really commit so much as tell you it looks like he’s committing but we all know what’s going on.
Mostly it was, I know there's not enough time, but mostly we talked about it... was a love story... Between him and his wife: Laurie Sungleberger. What was her name? I wrote this bit 25 minutes ago
It’s important to remember that Norm did this like six months after it happened, way before anyone even considered making a movie about it. Part of the joke was that Sully was a wholly uninteresting character outside of this event, which made it all the more funny when Clint Eastwood did make a movie (where he had to make up a whole inquiry just to create some more drama).
TEAM COCO!!! LONG TIME FAN since a kid, I loves Conans!! I loved the plague santa sketch during covid... ANYWAYS: please have the fat comedians on, TIM DILLON and also mr. Stavros Halkias on the CONAF series. SEPERATELY or together... Peace and LOVE. You all look really attractive. XOX MNK.
I have a question too: How come Conan has never interviewed any of the cast of ‘Whose line is it anyway’?. Have only seen Wayne Brady on his nbc show once. Given how brilliant Conan is at improv, you would think they would have very interesting conversations and interactions but never seem to have happened. Find it really bizarre!🤷🏻♂️🤨
I would love to see Conan (and other big names like Burr and Rogan) acknowledge how they all took the “I didn’t even know he was sick” line Norm did about Hitler
I posted this at the beginning of the wrek and someone asked for this to be read. But in self-destructive way I added more yhkngs to be funny which xaused the person to tempve thir comment. 😢 I did take out the offending jokes which crossed the line; and hope that you will still read my comment on the Podcast Best "I was trepidatious about this episode with Ed Sheeran in NYC because I figured it was going to be a boring old one on one episode between Conan & Sheeran-- which would be fine, but that is not the format of your podcast. I assume CONAF listened to both QuestLove and us in the TH-cam comments, because Matt & Sona were there! Yay! (Sona's infectious laugh booms over any slow moment like a rushing river in a sonorous valley; and Matt interjects with his shy, sly, dorky improv wit on beat like a masterful conductor.) Also;, awkward & avuncular, Hawiian shirt loud Bley, who is television on feet, got more on-air time which is how it should be. David Hopping scurried in at the end, like the anthromorphic rabbit that he is, to help with listener questions. (His last name is Hopping after all; and the time when Hopping claimed Conan asked for carrots so he could eat them like Bugs Bunny was just an obvious deflection. ) All that was missing was Eduardo making an inappropriate interuption with his silky, smooth Jazz radio voice to hit all of the necessary, satisfactory checkboxes to make this episode a complete experience. (Not commenting on Adam "Moneybags" Sachs whose your version of Mr. Drysdale from the Beverly Hillbillies; albeit younger. His personality only comes out when Timothy Olyphant comes on.) Conan, remember you are Andy Griffith, who is only the normal everyman because you surround yourself with colorful characters --- and your Staff is your Mayberry."
I don’t see that bit as random. Norm was bringing Sully down to earth, flattening him really, suggesting that Sully, despite being treated as a hero, was a boring pilot like all the others. Norm’s nihilistic streak is part of what made him so good.
Norm was born on the 17th of October of the year of our Lord, 1959 as the Scriptures tells us. So, happy birthday, Normie, hope you like crap and being buried into the earth.
even old norm 'joad' macdonald hates telegram engagement - he advised hooking it up to the clapper which make a fabulous xmas gift btw #bury me with my clapper #the most humane decent xmas gift ever invented #semi smart house #he died with his cowboy boot crocs on - the ultimate compliment
Norm also figured out at some point in life how stupid it was to constantly pander to women. I give him credit for that since many men NEVER figure this out.

@@mikekoenen77He explained it to the folks at home
yeah, the same premise as "Frankenstein Wastes A Minute Of Our Time"
Those swedish-german types can make some good observations.
I feel like Andy hated norm cause he would dog on em all the time

"Jay Leno out-foxed you again!"
If I know you, Conan O'Brien, miserable failure is not an option
Stories about Norm Macdonald from his friends give me life.
Literally, I waited for the perfect moment to watch this video. Anything Norm makes me LIVE LOVE and Enjoy the beauty of life
Norm as Sully Sullenberger …..”we’re saving up for the thing!”
Oh, Conan... WE KNOW about "Sully Sullenberger, Airport Pilot." Believe me.
lol yeah it's true it's not his most widely known thing but I think he's underestimating how many people know about it
Well. I don't. No idea what he is talking about.
If you know, you know. If you don't know, then you're probably one of them fellas that doesn't have a doghouse.
Lori Sungelberger loves that sketch
I play Sully.
-Norm

His roast of Bob Saget is delivered identically to his interviews. That's a practiced skill, to have such a consistent affect.
it's how odd he sounded insecure, but at the same time he was a really really good story teller.
I'm glad Conan highlighted that sketch, I love it for all the reasons Conan does
I think it’s better than Conan realizes. It wasn’t random; he took this image of a heroic Sully and said the guy is really just a boring nothing pilot - which in turn said something about how we lionize people. All of that is in a seemingly random throwaway but when Norm does it.
Me to a norm video is like a moth to a pediatrist's office
A light unto the world
Yes
How's your son Gregario Inalitovovich doing?
Maybe even a podiatrist's office
Conan reacting to Norm's various appearances on his show would be all time great video
Reminds me of that tragedy
Theres 3 people i really miss and i still tear up when i think about them. Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, and norm macdonald. I think about them alot.
I put George Carlin and Hunter S Thompson in there too

Rest In Peace, Norm. One of my favorite Norm/Conan appearances.
The role of Lorrie Sungelberger is truly an Oscar-worthy performance
Don't make fun of him. He wrote that bit 25 min before the show.
I absolutely love at Conan Norm stories. You can feel his love and admiration for his friend
Paul Newman told me you never get over it.
If Norm wastes my time once, shame on him. If I rewatch clips of Norm wasting my time over and over again, shame on me.
He didn’t care in a beautiful way!!! 😊I’m using that 😂
I really just live for those Norm stories!
We still love you Norm. Wherever you are, you old chunk of coal.
@@captainwatson Thanks but I was aware he died maybe just didn't come through in my comment. I heard the very day he died 2 years ago.
@@captainwatson You gotta get some reading comprehension Captain.
He's not on the comfy bed with the tempurpedic pillow. He's buried in the earth.
@@alibabaschultz352 Norm was cremated... so, yeah, okay.
He's a diamond now.

Gotta add Jeff Goldblum and Timothy Oliphant to that great list of yours as well.
I definitely agree with you on the guests, although I’m not sure what the word “respectively” is doing at sentence.
There never has been and never will be a comedian that commits to a bit more than Norm. Absolute legend.
Jim Carrey says hello.
Andy Kaufman.
I actually think Norm always had a wink - he didn’t really commit so much as tell you it looks like he’s committing but we all know what’s going on.
Mostly it was, I know there's not enough time, but mostly we talked about it... was a love story... Between him and his wife: Laurie Sungleberger. What was her name? I wrote this bit 25 minutes ago
Norm being Norm is just the best. He cares not if anyone thinks it is funny. He thinks its funny and that’s enough.
He did the same Sully sketch twice on Conan first on Late Night NBC then on TBS
IT WAS THE SILLIEST WASTE OF TIME FOR A SKETCH....... very monty pythonesque I loved it
It’s important to remember that Norm did this like six months after it happened, way before anyone even considered making a movie about it. Part of the joke was that Sully was a wholly uninteresting character outside of this event, which made it all the more funny when Clint Eastwood did make a movie (where he had to make up a whole inquiry just to create some more drama).
? They talk about the Tom Hanks movie in the clip.
Yes! Conan misremembers the clip here. The whole point was to flatten a hero (and thus heroes).
The person wanted a Norm story. You just described something that was aired on the show to someone who's such a fan of the show they came to see you.
She was pretty open with the question, asking for a favorite bit or something personal..
Anytime Conan brings up norm I'm gunna watch so thank you to that girl who asked❤
Norm, RIP 🕊
in the bit Sully's wife lands the plane
Say, what a lovely picture show this was. Gee whiz!
Norm was amazing.
Norms moth Joke is still the best.
He even said in the show about the woman playing Sully's wife: "I have cast her in your show"

I wonder if Norm inspired the old "Frankenstein Wastes a Minute of Our Time" bit
Norm's clip: th-cam.com/video/5zck9hlMl6w/w-d-xo.html
no, this the original one th-cam.com/video/DEuIP_ZHDAc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Pin this comment please!
Love normmm
I would love to see Conan (and other big names like Burr and Rogan) acknowledge how they all took the “I didn’t even know he was sick” line Norm did about Hitler
Rogan? is he a comedian?
I love this so much
It was more a love story about him and his wife…Laurie sunkelburger, is that her name? I wrote this bit 15 minutes ago. Kills me everytime
Conan does a decent Norm impression.
Oooh man i miss Norm
AIRPORT PILOT
Sully Sullenburger: Airport Pilot
Why does the thumbnail read "BEST GUESTS" when the clip has absolutely nothing to do with that?
The love story between Sully and Lori Sungleburger was the best.
Very good 😂
We're saving for the ting...
I remember when Norm first did the bit. It’s so damn funny and random.
Featuring Sully Sullenberg and Lori Sulkenberger
chairman of the board
BOred!
I always wondered where he got his ideas from...

Matt and Sona didn't get to answer... 😢
Conan get Mark normand and Shane Gillis on the pod please !!!
I love that Norm got a crew together, probably paid all of them decently, all to shoot that idiotic 60-second clip and run it on Conan.
I’m pretty sure the crew was Conan’s. Because norm was going to be on Conan’s show and all…
My question is, where are the interns from the remote now?
What remote? He’s done hundreds lol
The one with pencil man and glasses woman.😂😂😂

What a terrible anecdote, reminds me of that tragedy.
