Other comedians have said he was a genius "like rain man" lol. Not even 2 minutes in he's having fun trolling his friend (who's a Harvard grad) about his assistant, making Conan look like a privileged diva for a laugh "yeah, I told you, what's her last name? *evil smirk*". Norm always being the smartest person in the room pretending to be the dumbest.
I think he's always telling jokes that he wants to tell. That make him chuckle and not just conforming to what other people think is funny. The audience almost doesn't matter - but of course he loves having an audience for them not to matter to him. A funny zen kind of thing! He was great.
I felt like he liked telling jokes that were his; and if they didn't work, he knew they weren't for everyone. He just said Oh well and kept going - it never bothered him because he just loved being himself.
My favorite thing Conan or his people did for Norm after he passed, was that they dug through all the old tapes and found all these great nuggets from his appearances. It shows how much Conan loved Norm. Conan has always been the best at letting comedians run with their jokes and bits.
Conan is the wittiest comedian of them all...and he seems to be unusually well-adjusted, and not full of himself at all. He was a great talk-show host, very adept at playing the passive-aggressive "straight man" to his comedic guests.
For some reason, maybe it was because I was young. But I didn't find Norm attractive back in the day. But rewatching these now, I'm like, be was cute!! Perfect skin, cute eyes, charisma, Good hair.
@@GreenRiver72 ah, that’s a bit too cynical for me. I really do think there are lots of good genuine people out there. Whether in comedy or just your neighbor. Conan’s quote on cynicism has always stuck with me. But I digress, we lost one of the great genuine funny and good dudes in Norm. Just awful, reminds me of that tragedy.
Did you forget about the time Conan went to Haiti, cherrypicked the only decent area in the country prepared for tourists and went "See, everything is fine with this country"?
I respect Conan greatly. His boss who gave him the job told him “No more Norm on the show” and Conan wrote him a letter saying the show wouldn’t be the same without him and kept booking him. That’s a real friend. His boss said he had no loyalty for doing so but really it’s the opposite.
@@m.c.master4622 I wonder what happens when you show up before St. Peter and say "I don't believe in an afterlife, you despicable figment!" Try to tell us if you can.
Norm was incredible. His delivery. The deadpan. The self-deprecation. The "I just told a hilarious story and no one laughed and I"m here for it." attitude. All of it. All-time great comedic mind.
Particularly when he hosted that stupid "ESPY" Award show...his very barbed humor occasionally did not land well on the ears of all those bone-headed jocks, and their trophy wives!...I was worried that a few of those macho types would attack him on stage!..But he survived, and even made those jocks laugh pretty hard...He was so courageous...even as he slid down the slippery slope of Death...we should all be so strong and accepting of our fate!
I had to search the meaning behind this and I'm glad I did... Frank Stallone paid tribute to Norm's passing, he said his only regret was that he never got the chance to do a show with him, he thought he was original and very funny. RIP Norm.
The genius of Norm was he could go from having no material or bombing to coming up with absolutely hilarious stuff on the spur of the moment, seemingly without trying.
Example: The moth joke was only done because Norm was told during the commercial break that he needed to do a second segment but had nothing else to talk about. Result: Best version of the moth joke ever.
Norm was a comedy God. Many good comedians out there, but no one could deliver like he could. He could make you crack ribs with a joke that wouldn’t get a laugh told by someone else. A gift to the world
Norm takes over the show and derail the conversation and Conan just lets him do his thing and enjoys wherever is going. Big ego talk show hosts would want to keep control and it wouldn't be funny.
When Spielberg hit us with the scene where the Rex says “Dr. Malcom was right. I found a way... to save you guys” it went over my head as a kid but as an adult I can truly appreciate it. A talking dinosaur? Well by god isn’t that something..
I met Larry Flint one time at his house in East Hampton, NY. I was doing tree work for him in the early 90's. He showed up in his van and got out into his wheelchair. He was very nice and thanked us for doing a great job and disappeared into his house. Boring story I know but whatever 😂
That story of Tonya Addy just proves he talked to everyone and remembers everyone 😢. Listen to the podcast and heard Andy say Norm talked to his sister for an hour.
He really was an incredible human being. Though this is norm we’re talking about so it’s very possible that Tonya Addy is made up and not a real person. I almost hope she was made up because it would be such a norm thing to do.
I have a feeling he was leading up to a punchline about that but Conan stepped on his lines and he wasn't able to pay it off. He segues from there to talking about Elephant Man but Conan interrupts him to say Norm would be the worst movie critic. I have a feeling that Norm was nearing a punchline there but Conan messed it up.
Its a shame he had to die. What did he die of? What kind of cancer? He was a good man. Now he is gone. I feel so sad for him.what did he do to deserve this?
Conan is brilliant on his own, and it’s clear, through the years the reverence he has for Norm. Norm could make the funniest people genuinely laugh out loud. Still sad he’s gone, just brilliant.
Conan was the most charmingly humorous TV host of them all!...and Norm was the most original, incredibly funny stand-up comedian of them all!...I love them both.
This is an early interaction of theirs, and you can tell Conan is working harder back then in some of the more recent clips. Their interplay is genius - one of the funniest things on television, but it took a lot of work before they could make it look easy. Conan is exhausted by the end of this clip!
Norms face after he recalls Larry Flint saying “I’ll take care of ya” is one of my absolute favourite examples of my favorite norm expression - I love it so much. Thank you teamcoco for helping us grieve

After watching Conan for decades, it's clear that his visits with Norm were truly special. In this video, Conan laughs in ways and makes faces that i've never seen anyone else elicit. No matter how big the laugh with other people, he always keeps a modicum of control. Not with Norm. Norm had this way of building the long, subtle humor that felt more like an experience than an incident. By the end of this one, Conan was giggling like a baby who couldn't comprehend exactly why he's laughing. It bubbles up from the inside. So good.
Miss you Norm. A superb human being. And I love Conan for just celebrating him every time he's been on and recognising the talent he had. Conan's hilarious but these two together were magic.

This is how good he is; he bombs intentionally in the first couple of minutes, just so that he can dig himself out of a shithall with a killer one-word punchline. It doesn’t really matter one way or another, the audience was always on his side. Brilliant.
Norm was such a gem. One of those people that you just have a smile on your face the whole time he's talking and you can't wait to hear what he's going to say next because it's all comedy gold. The energy is great.
I wouldn't normally talk about this but most of my adult life if I ever was depressed or feeling low I would just watch Norm movies or clips to cheer up. I always end up laughing until my stomach hurt and magically I would just feel so much better.
I always was struck by how handsome Norm really was, particularly in his earlier years...his eventual weight gain, and also the horrible effects of his cancer, took away some of his looks...but, I mean, ever check out his dead-on impression of Burt Reynolds?...He had the same look/level of male beauty that Burt had!
The calm before the storm. I can only imagine the audience members watching this, not realizing one of the most epic moments in talk show history was going to happen right after this. RIP Norm.
Norm was a great comic. So spontaneous. He could drag out a story but you’d laugh through the whole story. This clip with Wayne Newton I had never seen.
This is their funniest interview, they both were all over the place and killed it. The camera locks on both of them and you barely see Andy. That means their chemistry was off the charts. Moments like this will never happen again in modern tv
Thank you Team Coco.... he was my favorite comedian but I never actually got to see him live... you or me or anyone could repeat 90% of his jokes and they wouldn’t be even mildly funny, but his mannerisms and delivery make his jokes. Truly sad for his passing, don’t worry Norm, there are plenty of party days ahead but these immediate days we are sad for the loss.
Thank you Conan staff for putting the whole clip up, this is hilarious, and comedy gold by Norm!! The back and forth with Conan and Norm is absolutely hilarious :)
Norm was great at telling awkward jokes. On his free time he liked to go to Seaworld and feed the baby dolphins. He was really a laid back cool fella off stage. He definitely served a youthful porpoise.
Oh my God! I just watched this after a tribute video to Norm came on at random and really captivated me. Such a brilliant person and a really extraordinary human being. I regret it not having been brought to my attention how funny and just amazing he is to watch perform. I've of course seen him in a lot of random things but I never had the opportunity to appreciate him fully until just very recently and that makes me sad. A real rare soul... I'm happy at least that platforms like this exist, however fucked up and unfair their policies may be towards certain groups or ideas, so that the memory of amazing people that are no longer with us stays strong. "You truly die the last time someone says your name"... hopefully, and I'm very optimistic about this, Norm McDonald will be one name spoken for generations still to come. Thanks for everything man.
Norm seemed like he was feeling good that night.I love to hear him ramble about anything.He voice and inflections keep me in the ride.Then he drops funny stuff.Norm seemed like a great guy.
Norm's entire life was one gigantic trolling session. And I love him for it.

So true. He was a math prodigy. Went to college (University in 🇨🇦) at 16 years of age.
I love the fact that Norm seems to genuinely love it when a joke fails. It's like he's deeply thrilled and happy to see the audience not enjoying it.
I always felt he had a little Andy Kaufman in him.

Super Fly
was baby
Jeff Goldblum of "The Fly" and "The Dinosaur" fame.
8:50 Norm coining Rizz, true pioneer
Risible 😊
Norm was such a gem. One of those people that you just have a smile on your face the whole time he's talking and you can't wait to hear what he's going to say next because it's all comedy gold. The energy is great.
I wouldn't normally talk about this but most of my adult life if I ever was depressed or feeling low I would just watch Norm movies or clips to cheer up. I always end up laughing until my stomach hurt and magically I would just feel so much better.
Hard same
Me too.
Same here. That's why he's so loved by everyone.
Same

Norm had the cutest face with his dimples like a little boy. Loved him. 🥰
I always was struck by how handsome Norm really was, particularly in his earlier years...his eventual weight gain, and also the horrible effects of his cancer, took away some of his looks...but, I mean, ever check out his dead-on impression of Burt Reynolds?...He had the same look/level of male beauty that Burt had!
Gorgeous smile, especially when he was being cheeky.
3:44 "This crazy... woman."
- Great save
Almost said it
His mouth was already forming a B shape when he changed direction.
@@DjDMA He was going to say "battleaxe". Sure... Right...
@@Paulafan5 clearly he was going to say "Beautiful human being" 👀
Norm couldn’t have been more leashed
Nothing better than Conan and Norm. Absolutely tv gold.
8:37, I guess Norm invented Rizz.
It's from "risible" though
Ok,..... the face Norm makes after he says Larry Flynt told him he’d “take care” of him..... :D
The Larry Flynt impression is amazing! RIP NORM!
Had me in stitches 🤣
Arrrrh
10:28 fast forward to the scene of the title.
Wahhhhhh wahhhhh
What a brilliant comic Norm was! Love it when he starts laughing before he delivers the funny line.

"He must have an unbelievable parking spot!"
...I almost shit my pants laughing
it was so good lol
12:18 he was a gift to this world... miss you, Norm
The calm before the storm. I can only imagine the audience members watching this, not realizing one of the most epic moments in talk show history was going to happen right after this. RIP Norm.

Yeah, hands down the greatest talk show appearance ever
Two Good friend having good time of their life. This is priceless.
“I was in the people vs Larry flint. I play one of the people, who’s vssing him” lol
Norm was a great comic. So spontaneous. He could drag out a story but you’d laugh through the whole story. This clip with Wayne Newton I had never seen.
Ever realized you commented on the same video a couple years ago? After I feel stupid, I'm happy to realize I've just appreciated Norm again.
He feels like one of my best friends although we’ve never met. We’ll miss you so much Norm.

💯
This is their funniest interview, they both were all over the place and killed it. The camera locks on both of them and you barely see Andy. That means their chemistry was off the charts. Moments like this will never happen again in modern tv
Poor, poor Andy.
@@ianallen738He’s a Swedish German!
Keep doing this Conan. We all appreciate these clips so much. To see his genius
"I think the fever's breaking."
How underrated is Andy.
Man, Norm was absolute gold.
Fearless & therefore fun.
Thank you Team Coco.... he was my favorite comedian but I never actually got to see him live... you or me or anyone could repeat 90% of his jokes and they wouldn’t be even mildly funny, but his mannerisms and delivery make his jokes. Truly sad for his passing, don’t worry Norm, there are plenty of party days ahead but these immediate days we are sad for the loss.

I was fortunate enough to have seen Norm at YukYuks in Niagara Falls Ontario. This was before he was well known, and I have followed him ever since.
@@buddyrichable1 that’s amazing. You’re very lucky
Thank you Conan staff for putting the whole clip up, this is hilarious, and comedy gold by Norm!! The back and forth with Conan and Norm is absolutely hilarious :)
This whole interview is a masterpiece.
@Kays Media will you please stop spamming every comment with that link? We've seen it.
@@Havok259 report it as spam.
The segment that followed was the legendary Courtney Thorne Smith interview.
Norm was the happiest guy ever. Only the good...only the good.
8:35 Norm was two decades ahead of his time for using "rizz".
Norm and Conan are always so great together. RIP Norm and sorry for your loss, Conan
These two bring out the best in each other.And Norm is with us still with every laugh.
If you can make Conan Laugh out Loud, then you are special, and Norm you were and always will be! RIP Norm, you will be Missed
th-cam.com/video/NfthEzdSCWQ/w-d-xo.html
its hardly difficult to make Conan laugh
One of the greatest comedians ever. RIP Norm!
The guy was a comedic genius. One of the funniest people on the planet.
Awkwardly the best thing I watched today. Thanks COCO!
How is that awkward?
Conan (not the barbarian) seems exacerbated by the end
Norm was great at telling awkward jokes. On his free time he liked to go to Seaworld and feed the baby dolphins. He was really a laid back cool fella off stage. He definitely served a youthful porpoise.
Coco doesn't own a doghouse
Oh this is one of the most joyful things I've seen today. God bless Norm (RIP) and Conan forever.
I so loved Norm. An irreplaceable soul.
Favorite talk show host and comedien right there.... Did I also mention they are the GOATS !
Oh my God! I just watched this after a tribute video to Norm came on at random and really captivated me. Such a brilliant person and a really extraordinary human being. I regret it not having been brought to my attention how funny and just amazing he is to watch perform. I've of course seen him in a lot of random things but I never had the opportunity to appreciate him fully until just very recently and that makes me sad. A real rare soul... I'm happy at least that platforms like this exist, however fucked up and unfair their policies may be towards certain groups or ideas, so that the memory of amazing people that are no longer with us stays strong. "You truly die the last time someone says your name"... hopefully, and I'm very optimistic about this, Norm McDonald will be one name spoken for generations still to come. Thanks for everything man.
There are 3 reasons I tune into Team Coco, Story Telling with Norm, hearing Bill angry rants and watching Jordan teach me how to make a Espresso
haha yes
These clips are always incredible in HD, wish more shows did this
The last 2 minutes ,holy crap. Lol I love when conan is genuinely cracking up. Watched the end over and over
Norm seemed like he was feeling good that night.I love to hear him ramble about anything.He voice and inflections keep me in the ride.Then he drops funny stuff.Norm seemed like a great guy.
Apparently, some of his SNL cohorts did not like Norm that much as a person...He could be sarcastic and aloof.
Norm always brightens my day with laughter
