The difference between Man Show Kimmel and ABC Kimmel is mind blow. The process of watching someone devolve into a corporate hack in real time is just too much.
mightisright - Norm lays down a false pre-interview & never goes to that expected talk during interviews. He said he doesn’t like the host to know what’s coming in advance. Letterman & Conan figures this out waaay back & now they just skip the preinterview. I don’t think Kimmel was as wise to it at this point.
@@waynestarr6705 That's the best part. i didn't know who he was until I saw him on Norm's show. All I know is Super Dave is a character played by comedian Bob Einstein. I guess he was on a show called curb your enthusiasm. I've never watched it. It's not on Netflix or Hulu. Is it any good? I watched him on Jerry Seinfeld comedian in cars getting coffee. Funny funny guy.
I'm not an English native speaker, so I was like "Super AIDS Password? Who the fuck is Super AIDS Password? That guy sounds just like Funkhouser", and sure enough, it was a Bob impression. That "Ley me ask you a question" is so Funk. RIP
So strange that his comedy just doesnt seem to translate well into a sitcom or movie etc. Just seeing him there talking with someone is brilliant. I wonder if he will ever land a role or format that can really showcase his fantastic humour.
@@smcgilli34 it translates well id say he is just better in small doses. Hes a literal genius but alot of his intellect and hunor is used on fucking with who ever hes with. But...pigeons sexy af lol. Seems very norm lol.
@@smcgilli34 the norm show? It's brilliant The trick is to let him be and talk his mind They say he's a bad actor but what they don't realize is he's always in character
3ternal dunno, he had two specials out when you commented, one of which wasn't terribly old and is one of the best hours of stand-up ever, and had a third special released a few months after your comment. he could do ten more probably and still wouldn't get the recognition he deserves. norm would disagree, but he does do smart comedy. not in the sense that he provides intelligent social commentary, but that much of it is subtle enough to sail right over dumb people's heads. it's a totally douchey thing to say, but it's true. have you ever tried telling a subtle joke like the 'this guy was a real jerk' joke to dumb people?
Okay, so I'm not a celebrity fanatic, but my one thing I do is follow Norm Macdonald like a nerd. Trust me when I say this is one of Norm's strongest appearances. Totally on point the entire time.
Thought I had seen every single appearance from Norm - just found this. Read your comment before I started the video and the excitement that came over me . This is gonna be a good one
Yeah, this interview is damn near perfect (I also have a Norm obsession, which extends to watching other people who are equally obsessed with Norm, like Jay Mohr)
@@Pyro-Moloch Norm's arguing that it's better to be able to binge watch a show without the cliffhangers and waiting a week for the next episode. Jimmy says it's fun since you can discuss what happened with friends. Norm's book club answer refers to the fact that a book club is where you're able to discuss something that everyone read in their own spare time. His point is that he doesn't care for talking about what's going on with the show, he just wants to see the whole thing. Which is consistent with his point about not wanting to have to think about or guess what the ending is.
Norm is one of those rare comedians who doesn't have to go thru the script on Conan ,Fergusen or Letterman....Its below his dignity so they let him rip....and he never fails....Never...
"You can't see everything... it's hard enough to see anything" Norm is a fucking genius. Something about this line and the way he made it up on the spot just speaks volumes to the way his mind works. You assume he means 'you can't see everything' because there is so much to see... nope! I simply don't think the same way. Idk how he does it.
Nick Gaspar As I recall it -- and I could be wrong, but -- Norm started on SNL just doing Weekend Update, never appearing in sketches. Then, they took him off Update for a brief time before firing him, and suddenly he did _several_ amazing impressions almost all at once -- dead-on Letterman, dead-on Larry King, and there was always the Burt Reynolds impression, which seemed effortless.
A lot of people talk about Norm’s appearances on Conan with such high regard (and for good reason), but this interview is just incredible. Norm was on fire the whole show. We just saw one of the all-time great TV comedy performances.
oh i'm sorry haha thought everyone knew at this point, Reddit is like a world forum for pretty much anything, on this forum there are sub-division, called subreddit, so just go to norm's subrredit, which is /r/NormMacdonald (just put that after the website)
this interview is one of the best TV pieces of all time to me. Norm literally is in command throughout the whole thing, just look at the commercial part.
I think we have all seen pretty much every interview Norm has done at least a couple of times. This one is in my top 5 for sure I think. Hadn't seen it in a while and I forgot how good it was. Although I feel like I say that after every Norm video I watch.
Pure genius. His fanbase is also the funniest with all the puns. God knows genuinely love this man. ...... also Jimmy Kimmel looks like a man I saw many times under the Queensborough Bridge
yes! love it! actually all of the few impressions he does are spot on.. maybe it's true what he says about only impersonating people you like is the key. respect!
"Because ...you can't see everything ... it's hard enough to see anything!" These little overlooked pearls are the essence of this comic genius, he is so incredibly entertaining and funny and then you realize that the audience (yourself included) didn't even get caught perhaps half of the jokes, hidden meanings and wordplays.
This is why we love Norm. He's the smartest guy in the room, but he juxtaposes this fact with his shtick where he's the dumbest guy in the room, or, more accurately, that he's not necessarily dumb but that he's the most naive guy in the room. The effect is hysterically funny, and he deserves all the accolades he's received because of his genius. I mean, who else but Norm could drop a Nora Ephron reference but yet juxtapose this with being a naïf, and get such laughs?
+AJ Patrick That is without question the setup they agreed on in rehearsal. So much of comedy is switching sides. I think they wanted to make it more like Norm was the host.
Nah, Norm likes to fuck with late night show hosts. You can hear Conan talk about it a lot, when people ask him about Norm, as well as Norm talking about it himself. And of course you can watch Letterman and his hysterical laughter when Norm pulls a 180 at his setups.
I’m literally just crying laughing throughout this whole thing and you can tell it’s the same with the audience there. I love how Norm barely even has individual jokes, it’s just everything about him and everything he says and how he says it is hilarious.
@@leadnitrate2194 yeah that’s exactly it. It’s actually fascinating how well Norm would change his material and general approach depending on what show he was on (Letterman, Leno, Conan, etc). He only tends to go for the “steamroll” approach for the guys he doesn’t revere much at all, or sometimes on Leno just because Leno’s so laid-back and hands-off anyway that it works.
Norm Macdonald is the best talk show guest in history. He kills every time. Check out his appearance on Conan with Courtney Thorne Smith....best ever: th-cam.com/video/5F6dXcW-_Fc/w-d-xo.html
That's one thing that kills me about Norm. He's literally one of the best impressionists out there, but he doesn't show it off. Someone that good, you would expect would be all "Stand back. Here comes my So-and-so impression!" But he just slips it in when he has an actually funny story about Super Dave, or Bob Uecker, etc.
That's because it _chaps their hyde_ when a guest goes on a *talk show* and *waxes poetic* about the *host* of a different *talk show.* You see *Jimmy* get flustered when Norm brings up *David Letterman.*
The greatest human being to be in front of a camera! My god…I forgot about this absolutely gem of an interview! Every single time …..every single show……every single minute this genius was comedic perfection!! We miss you so much……you were never a rusty old coal…..you were and are still a shiny beautiful diamond! Shining even brighter from above ……see you soon my friend……
All dictionaries should be updated to provide a reference to Norm MacDonald as part of the definition of “Raconteur”. Norm is absolute, unmitigated brilliance in his story telling. It really is quite stunning to behold. This is why the great Dennis Miller frequently refers to Norm as a comedy genius. When Dennis Miller says that, it’s a fact.
1:17 I just found Don Rickles from Norm mentioning him and have been watching his videos for like the past two weeks. I literally was just watching him before this video too. Fucking so happy Norm brought him up so much, I don't know if I ever would have heard of Rickles if he didn't. Both of them are absolute GOATS and its a damn privilege for the internet to exist allowing all of us to be able to witness them (and of course we can still see Norm live today, but that won't last forever either obviously)
Still hard to believe Norm managed to get Jimmy Kimmel as a guest
😂😂🤣🤣😂
Who is jimmy kimmel
Sarah Silverman's ex. He used to be a comedian until he was castrated.
Jimmy couldnt even lace Norms sandals
The difference between Man Show Kimmel and ABC Kimmel is mind blow. The process of watching someone devolve into a corporate hack in real time is just too much.

Correct. Kimmel is too much of a self-absorbed douche. He still couldn't get MacDonald.
@@pixnstix He isn't 'Meta' .. aka He's all 'non-layered' jokes :)
Norm doesn't really participate in the interview, he does his bit and the host plays on or gets steamrolled
You guys are dumb
Jimmy knows this is going to happen. He knows Norm. He knows Norm just needs some words to bounce off of in between bits.
Norm's impersonation of Super Dave is unbelievable!
It really is, disarmingly good
It was so good it seemed fake
His rodney dangerfield is just as spot on.
The best episode of Norm McDonald live is when Super Dave was his guest.. It's GOLD. TH-cam it. It's so funny.

Is there ever an apppearance where he doesn't walk really briskly in? It gets me every time, when he comes charging out
I was going to watch this video, then I saw that Jimmy Kimmel is in it, so I won't.
He completely ignores Kimmel's liner notes and does his own jokes instead, this is fucking hilarious.
Best thing about Norm is his indifference to anything he has to promote.
Truly, the man only ever cared about what's funny. Brilliant.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you were saying over the sounds my ManGrate was making.

It's so cute watching hosts attempting to do the "talk show" thing with Norm.
Not all hosts are as braindead as kimmel
Him with Dennis Miller is gold
Sports Show was brilliant.
Naturally it was cancelled immediately.
There's an asshole in charge everywhere you look. Norms a fucking comedy genuis and you can't ever slow him down.
What are you, some kind of lunatic? We can't have funny stuff on Comedy Central
Norm was too good and too subtle for corporate hacks.

Like many guests Norm doesn’t need the help. The man knows the craft like few do.
Norm should be so much more popular than he is.
TheTRUTH He's actually pretty damn popular and getting more so.
I think it's cause he doesn't really do stand-up specials.
which is a shame since he does the best stand up sets, so unique too
He was on the path to complete stardom but he threw it away with his dissension at SNL.
3ternal dunno, he had two specials out when you commented, one of which wasn't terribly old and is one of the best hours of stand-up ever, and had a third special released a few months after your comment. he could do ten more probably and still wouldn't get the recognition he deserves. norm would disagree, but he does do smart comedy. not in the sense that he provides intelligent social commentary, but that much of it is subtle enough to sail right over dumb people's heads. it's a totally douchey thing to say, but it's true. have you ever tried telling a subtle joke like the 'this guy was a real jerk' joke to dumb people?

He nearly always is for interviews
ryanp123456 Or just in general.
"interview" dont you mean monologue x^D
I don't think it's fire what he's on
He’s always on fire but this looks like cocaine 😀
Norm's delivery really is one of a kind,
"He whispers into Scarlett Johansson's ears. They don't have them miked!"
'Hwisper'

Norm Macdonald the funniest man in he room.....when the room is full of the funniest comedians in the world. Love how Jimmy lets him do his thing.
This is a glorious free man. Such a beautiful thing to watch. Thank you Norm.
That's so cute that Kimmel is trying to ask questions.
that is just an amazing moment in television
Norm is an amazing human being! Love the guy! Funniest dude on planet!
1:17 I just found Don Rickles from Norm mentioning him and have been watching his videos for like the past two weeks. I literally was just watching him before this video too. Fucking so happy Norm brought him up so much, I don't know if I ever would have heard of Rickles if he didn't. Both of them are absolute GOATS and its a damn privilege for the internet to exist allowing all of us to be able to witness them (and of course we can still see Norm live today, but that won't last forever either obviously)
Hope you saw him before he died, I didn't get to :(
This honestly might be Norms greatest Late Night appearance! Every line kills!
norm is, by far, the funniest person ive ever watched
R.I.P. Norm! Book clubs will never be the same thing without you! 😭
I wish I could listen to Norm's voice all day long on demand.
Norm is up there with Rickles and Robin Williams as the best talk show guests. ..this is probably the greatest talk show appearance ...funny af 😂😅😆
That Super Dave impression was spot on. I almost thought it was dubbed -- Norm says he can't do impressions, but the few he does, he nails.
