I met Jeff Goldblum a few years ago and when we were getting our picture taken in a Harry Caray voice I said, "Say cheese.....is not what the moon is made of!" and Jeff just looked down at me and said, "Ahh, that's right!"
Not only does Will bring the familiar appearance of Harry to life, he has written some brilliant dialogue. With the killer delivery of Caray exaggerated to perfection, the diatribes are wickedly funny. One of comedy's all-time great impersonations.
Harry leading _Take Me Out to the Ball Game_ during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley... nice memories in a year likely w/o baseball. I think Harry got a kick out of Will’s spaced-out impression of him. Good job & RIP Harry.
He mentioned Waukegan, Illinois. I was once involved in a minor car accident in Waukegan with a lady who was a waitress at Harry Carey's restaurant in Chicago.
Not that anyone cares, but when I was 12, I met Harry at a restaurant in Sarasota, FL. He was really great, extremely friendly. Of course (it almost goes without saying), he was seated at the bar 😊 Go Cubs, and Old Style beer! "A one, two, three..Take me out to the ball game..." We Chicagoans miss you. Oh, and great job, Will!
@@christhornton9762 how did Colin help get norm booted? I always thought Norm was fired for making jokes NBC executives didn't approve of, in particular OJ Simpson related ones.
It's funny bc between the first two and the last one he had a LOT more practice doing GWB, and you can see that sneaking into his impression while he's talking with Seth
I remember listening to Gary Burbank out of Cincy on WLW radio thirty years ago during my work travels. He used to do a great Harry Caray that went right along these same lines.
I loved it when my boy, Mark "Mudcat" Grant, longtime color commentator for my Pads, and Joliet Illinois native, sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame as Harry Caray when the Padres were playing the Cubs. It was awesome...love that guy!
@@hellhound9347 Come on. You have your comedy gimmick, some sort of conflict to push things through, and you're home free. Nothing in that equation says the characters all have to be gaggled together on the same stage with a keyed up audience in front of them.
The question we should be asking ourselves is "how does Will Ferrell not break character and bust out laughing doing these sketches?" if Will Ferrell breaks character you know some crazy s**t is going on!😂
The background changes behind Harry Carry every time it cuts to him, during the Seth Myers section. Some countries from Europe disappear and Asia and Africa just don't exist
I’ll never get tired of Will Ferrell doing Harry Caray. It’s just brilliant.
The "Hey... what if... hey!" gets me every time.
The Colin Quinn one is a classic, this was the first episode after norm was fired calling out his name was undoubtedly unscripted and hilarious
"If you said no, I would've bitten your ear off". Words to live by.
I remember so clearly when Will Ferrell portayed Harry Carey. I forgot it was Will, it was amazing.
Will Ferrell got the inspiration for playing Harry Carrey when he was watching a Cubs game and Carrey yelled "if he's a pitcher, then I'm a Chinaman!"
Haha, Chinaman is one of Norm MacDonald's favorite racial slurs.....literally "Man from China".....that's racist!
"Hey Norm, did you gain weight?" I laughed just as hard now as I did when I saw that in 98
Same!😂😂😂
OMG! Was it really 22 years ago???? OOF!!!
Hey" did you see that!?!
I'm gonna go hang out with these cheerleaders!
We love and miss you! Oi chicago IL!

Even if he would have found it offensive, he was likely way too spaced out in REAL life to care.
It's amazing he can keep his face contorted like that for so long.
I love the bobble head
"Hey Norm,if you were a hot dog would you eat yourself ?". "I'd cover myself in brown mustard,I'd be soo delicious"
"Twenty hot dogs would equal roughly a nickel; Depending on the strength of the Yen...I'm not quite sure."
the one with Myers was a little weak in spots but it was absolutely rescued by "i'm gonna go waterboard Asian Pete Rose in heaven"
Little known fact: Harry Caray inspired the bobblehead.
UNDERRATED

😆 It still amazes me how he's holding his face lke that making all those "neck-rolls". 🤣
And. he calls him Norm.
RIP, Mr. MCDONALD.
He mentioned Waukegan, Illinois. I was once involved in a minor car accident in Waukegan with a lady who was a waitress at Harry Carey's restaurant in Chicago.
Good call, he was right. Yankees DID win the 1996 World Series in 6.
I came looking for this comment. Well done.
I just noticed Norms dimples! So handsome!!!
One of Will Ferrell's funniest yet underrated characters. Just looking at him makes me laugh.

Ay, where's the one with Jeff Goldblum, when Will asks and if he'd eat the moon if it was made of BBQ spare ribs xD
It was not in Weekend Update
“I would’ve come at you like a tornado made of arms and teeth...and fingernails.” 😂
It's too bad he didn't make it a permanent inside joke and just kept calling every host Norm.
I thought the same thing.
@callmecatalyst I think it may have been more of an insult to Colin, it was Colin who helped get Norm booted from SNL.
@@christhornton9762 how did Colin help get norm booted? I always thought Norm was fired for making jokes NBC executives didn't approve of, in particular OJ Simpson related ones.
Facts!!!😂
This is what makes me happy, Good comedy 😂
Emily Rose this is true!
Indeed!
Will and Norm on the same screen makes my heart flutter
I remember catching these episodes in high school. Shit is like a time machine, it takes you back
8 pound 3 ounce ? Will Ferrell referenced this line in talledega nights . Dope
We need a "Every Harry Caray Ever" to include the non-WU appearances - Jeff Goldblum, Joan Allen ("...didn't you die?"), etc.
This makes me laugh and be sad cause we all miss Harry so much
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
Imagine dying, going to heaven, and having your entire life reviewed and narrated by Harry Caray.
It's funny bc between the first two and the last one he had a LOT more practice doing GWB, and you can see that sneaking into his impression while he's talking with Seth
I'm surprised he didn't call Seth as Norm!
Lol when he looked over at Seth and randomly screams HEYYYYYY I shit my pants
This just cracks me up! Harry ftw, Ferrel is a comic genius!🙌
Funny in that first clip, he was right! The Yankees won the 1996 World Series in 6 games!
Just what I needed right now!! XD😂
Will Ferrell as Harry Caray is my absolute *_favorite_*
His portrayal could be Steve Mnuchin.
En pointe!
A great sports commentator 😁 it's a pity that he is not the President of Russia 😢😊 the most famous Russian sports commentator Viktor Gusev ✌
Only thing better than Harry Carey is a tall, cool Budweiser. Budweiser, the KING of beers!
I'd take Bob Uecker and a Miller High Life any day over a Bud but I'm biased.
I remember listening to Gary Burbank out of Cincy on WLW radio thirty years ago during my work travels. He used to do a great Harry Caray that went right along these same lines.
Dear SNL, please make a weekend update rewind of the forgotten legend Norm Macdonald
Now Pete Rose and Harry Caray are roommates in Heaven for real
HEY !!😅
Great comedy. Loved this period in SNL history 😂😂
Seth Meyers: looks like a teenager, sounds the same. 👍
Loved his glasses. I call those “Harry Caray Glasses” to this day!
HEY!!!
LOL
Thank heavens, I need this! 💖💖💖
The Yanks won in 6.
Awesome history
This character just gets funnier and funnier! I'd love to see him do it again
Classic! 🤣🤣👏
The 2009 clip, you can tell he was doing You're Welcome America his George W. Bush one man show, it's a like a mix of Harry and W and Ricky Bobby.
F in the chat if you're ready for Harry Caray to narrate the TH-cam rewind 2020
Dang, so Will called it. 1996, Yankees won it in 6 games!
Will Ferrell’s Harry Caray should have been the moderator for the Trump/Biden debates with Baldwin and Carey. That would have been hysterical!
Dear Lord, Will is spot on with his impression of legend Harry Caray ⚾️
Norm, did you gain weight ? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Don’t jerk me around Norm...new respect for Will
They ought to make a movie staring Harry Carry!!
R.I.P., Harry!
He kept that face on for awhile. Method acting at its finest
It would have been great if he would have addressed Seth as "Norm"! 😂
This makes me realize how much I miss the actual weekend update
Love those ties in the first Update in '96
Why do I feel as though I'll be going straight to hell for loving and laughing at Will Ferrell's Harry Caray's impression?
Thank God for Tina Fey and Seth Myers to save us from Norms untimely firing which was crap
Can see will's improv ability while struggling with no laughs early.
Why does he make me laugh so hard 😂
I loved it when my boy, Mark "Mudcat" Grant, longtime color commentator for my Pads, and Joliet Illinois native, sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame as Harry Caray when the Padres were playing the Cubs. It was awesome...love that guy!
Lol!
Oh, my goodness!!
Hey, why doesn't heaven use hot dogs for currency?
Who else , after watching this goes back to SNL’s app and looks for Will’s skits just to keep laughing?
"You can't do it, Norm. You can't."
HEY, “ just say yes and we’ll move on.” Great comedy.....
If the moon were made out of cheese
would you eat it??
Me: YES.
Heck I'd go back for seconds and polish it off with tall cool Budweiser (or any other beer cuz bud sucks)
Holy hell, this was the inspiration for the reporter on Back at the Barnyard?!
Will Farrell is so funny hahahahaha 😂🤣
We miss baseball. But miss Harry Carey more. Who will come back first? Probably Harry.
Don't jerk me around its a simple question!
"Y' know it's in Georgia."
I’ve been waiting for this!
Hey!
Wow. All in a row like this. How have they not done a Movie? What did Asian Pete Rose need $200 Angel Bucks for?
Yes! One of the classics. Keep that weak quarantine comedy isolated at the snl we bsite
Ease up bud. Putting together good comedy in these conditions ain't a walk in the park

@@hellhound9347 Not saying I'm the expert, but yes, obviously I've tried my hand at comedy sketches. Go ahead and judge for yourself.
@@outstandingswitchboardserv409 And how do I do that?
where's norm McDonald
On adult swim
Aww, this never included my favourite "You could catch a Marlin, Norm!"
doctor: “you have 10 minutes and 14 seconds left to live”
me:
... love the plumbers crack , it's like crack to me
Fantastic, but I was hoping for the one with Jeff Goldblum 🤣

Cubs fan approval: ✔ #CubsFamilyIsForever #FlyTheW
Go cubs!
So awesome
Classic👌😂
Aaaaaaaand favorited. Thank you.
Will Ferrell is hilarious! 😂 😂
His face must have been so sore after doing this skit.
My mom met Harry and her name is Carrie ... he said "If we got married you'd be Carrie Caray!"
The background changes behind Harry Carry every time it cuts to him, during the Seth Myers section. Some countries from Europe disappear and Asia and Africa just don't exist
Will Ferrell's funniest "character"!
HEY!
