I had spent an entire year depressed after I split with my ex and no longer lived with my son. He was my world and I could barely function. I spent that year rebuilding myself and consuming all things Norm in my downtime. His comedy was the greatest escape from my deep pain and kept me from doing anything stupid to myself. When he passed I wept. It’s weird how someone you’ve never met can have such a profound impact on your life, but his comedy was inadvertently an integral part of regaining myself. Thanks Norm. Your comedy is one the greatest things in this world and I am truly grateful for you and your life.
I feel the same way my friend. In the depths of problems I came across this wonderful, wonderful comic when I was thinking bad things and this great man pulled me out. I loved Norm. Keep strong my friend.
“What are you, zero?” The earliest standup joke that I can remember, I heard this bit as a kid and it always stayed with me. Norm was a constant comedy presence my entire life
It's so cool to see Norm's confidence on stage growing over time. I also like how right behind his Canadian Farm Boy facade is the dark, twisted, vulgar genius we all love.
Yeah, you'd have to say the farm boy stuff is really quite laid on, since Quebec City and Ottawa are medium-sized cities. Both are also capitals, both, even back then, with the better part of a million residents. Both did probably have a lot of people only a generation or two off the land, and maybe the Macdonalds were among them. But then, if you consider not only Norm's success but the success and repute that his brother Neil has attained as a globetrotting journalist, in a career made up of the most difficult assignments his profession has to offer (decades in the Middle East and Washington DC), it's hard to suppose they really came from rustics. I'm guessing you already thought all this; I just wanted to say it anyway.
His second appearance on Letterman was my first time seeing him. When he finished with the Meadowlark Lemon bit, I remember thinking that I have found my favorite comedian. So sad to have him gone. Memory Eternal, Norm
I watch Norm MAC-Donald clips daily. Of course to have a good laugh, but mostly to just smile. He really made me smile because he seemed genuinely sweet, and his eyes sparkled ✨ , especially when he knew that Dave delighted in his company, as all of us delighted in sort of his company. His mannerisms I know by heart now, all as fetching as the day is long. And yes, he was oh so handsome. I'll miss Norm forevermore because he was 1-of-a-kind, truly. P.S. "He says to me he says to me he says..."-
Just when you thought you've seen every norm clip, the great donz comes through with these gems from his archives. Thank you so much, so happy you're back up on the TH-cam.
Norm's earlier appearances on Late Night and Comedy Central in the 90s are the reasons why I fell in love with his standup. Back then he was one of the most unique and utterly twisted comedians that I had ever seen. Thanks for uploading the first clip -- The duffel bag joke has made me cackle for years.
What I absolutely love about Norm is that he is SO comfortable sitting back in the (his) pocket, and is happy to wait until (or if) you join him. And either is fine with him.
Devastatingly handsome, razor sharp wit, superior intelligence... what a loss for our society... why he was not an international superstar is beyond me... RIP, Norm.
@@fredmartinjr7055 nah, it’s because his humor went over too many people’s heads. He was a meta-joke teller. His jokes were hilarious, but only if you could articulate *why* they were hilarious. This is lost on many.
@@fredmartinjr7055 i suspect it was his humour of playing the dumb guy coupled with his humility, he never really had the vibe of a star, though he had the killer looks for it had he gone that way
Awww the way he's shaking his legs at 18:20 😭 I bet he was so nervous but man, the way he grew into such a confident performer in such little time thereafter.. RIP Norm
And the Giller prize goes to...Don Giller! Let's give a round of applause to the man who has preserved countless hours of hilarity for our amusement. Thanks, Don Giller.
Norm has this adorable little nervous habit of touching his stomach/chest with his hands. He's done it since the beginning and even in his most recent comedy specials, he still does it. It's utterly charming.
Yep he had stomach cancer and I have to wonder if all the times we thought it looked cute that maybe he wasn't feeling good or was even in pain because his friends said he basically had stomach cancer most of his adult life but had beat it twice before but in the end he had it for 9 years and didn't want anyone to know , not even his family .
I’m assuming it has something to do with his past stomach cancer. Can’t prove it but it makes sense that he would subconsciously touch it. It was rather endearing.
Whoever clicked the thumbs down didnt like on this amazing video, should immediately be put on some kind of watch list. All 5 of these are true works of art. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. It's so beautiful. And hilarious of course
In hist first letterman appearance he called Bob a 'dirty dog'. Years later he would call his battle axe wife the same on Conan. Truly a man who was true to himself.
0:01 May 9, 1990. Stand-up. 6:04 September 5, 1991. Stand-up. 11:49 December 28, 1993. Stand-up. 18:31 February 17, 1995. Stand-up. 25:02 May 26, 1995. Sit-down. 30:13 October 24, 1995 Sit-down. 37:57 November 23, 1995. Cameo.
Just dropped in to leave my 4x per year comment telling Don he is the god of archivists. You have provided so much entertainment and insight into the late 20th century.
What a transformation during 1995. First sit-down, nervous and a bit boyish. Then the confident Norm we all know and love in the last visit. Top stuff!
You know, I really havent had much exposure to Norm Macdonald at all. I don't watch SNL, wasn't familiar with his podcast... This is a great intro to his work, enjoyed this (part 1!) immensely.
You are in for a treat! I remember him from SNL and was born in 82 so I remember seeing him and never realized he was so funny. Then after the Turd Ferguson stuff I got more interested and rediscovered Norm. Now he's probably my favorite ever. Genuine good dude. Seeing him tear up on Lettermans last show and how he didn't want to roast Saget because he was his friend. I'm glad he's around.
@@dongiller please upload them especially the late 90s. A better quality of them like this compilation you put up would be highly appreciated for us Norm fans.
37:08 I don't think I have ever seen Dave offer a guest to come to dinner with him on live show. He thought the world of our ol' chunk of coal even back then. :)
Yeah but you'll notice in the first few years he didn't even get to sit in the chair next to Dave and be interviewed . Then the first time he does get to sit next to Dave where he's wearing white pants you see they don't have time to interview him it's just time to say goodbye and you see Norm's legs moving up and down pretty fast kind of nervous like . Although you would think comedians felt they hit the big time when they get on these late-night shows but the truth is that usually didn't consider it big time until they got to sit next to the show host and get interviewed and that didn't happen to him for a while from what I can see here unless they were left out but I don't believe they were . So if he didn't get to sit next to Dave for several years it makes you wonder if maybe it first Dave was a little bit standoffish towards him and then maybe started to like him after a while
@Matthew Lock I'm not sure if you are aware, but in one of the other Norm/Dave compilations, Norm mentions seeing Matlock in an airport bookstore. Pretty sure it was #3, #4, or #5. Sorry I can't narrow it down further for you.
I just finished watching all of these interviews and just found out today (September 14, 2021) that Norm has passed away. I wish I could have met him, absolute comedic genius and legend.
It’s embarrassing how many times I have watched these videos of Norm on Letterman. Dave is right - there is no one funnier! He got it! He understood how to be a guest on Letterman.
Dude thanks. Norm’s outstandingly “Top Notch!” And I love Dave. The book The last giant of Late Night is what brought your name to my attention. Everything you’ve done is great! Thanks!!!
This is AWESOME. What a find! I'll be watching every part of this collection. I cant help but think about what is going through Norm's mind at 5:54. He's just finished a killer set on his first tv appearance on Letterman. He worked for approximately 2 years to get to this exact point which was his ultimate and ONLY goal. He had no aspirations to go into comedy or write, or act or anything else. His one goal was to get on Letterman and he worked towards that goal and accomplished it. He has said he thought "Well I finally did it. I guess I'lll go back home and get a job now ".
I feel like I'm watching the evolution of the perfection of his comedy timing. He tells the same jokes years apart. But his timing is so much better the second time.
I've watched this compilation a whole bunch of times but had ALWAYS just cut the video after the last interview, because I figured it was over. So I just heard "I get to OJ THE TURKEY" for the first time, and laughed my ass off. Norm macdonald - truly, the gift that keeps on giving. Rest in peace, ya old chunk of coal.
I'm just watching the beginning of Norm's start. Cool how Dave admired one of the funniest guys ever. So glad Norm brought his Canadian humour to the USA. RIP.
Norm is the only person that makes me literally laugh out loud at watching his clips, standup, etc. I was just going through every video I could find for about a month each night when he passed away. Super sad but he still had it man I’ll tell ya. RIP to the legend Norm

It helps for sure
Me too
Norm passed away today. His comedy helped get me through a lot of tough times (and will continue to do so). RIP to one of my personal legends.
Same! His comedy always cheered me up. Very sad day😔

I think it was his third appearance, but it doesn't really matter...
I think it’s ‘metal lark lemon’ who played for the Harlem globetrotters.

Before decent digital, there was very crappy digital, and before that, very good analog.
Excuse for my ignorance, but what does you comment mean?

On this small screen, it's more like inchage, not footage. But quality, yeah - quality.
its not quality footage.. just decent... on tv it was way better back then
Norm was so incredibly good looking. He was absolutely beautiful and no one ever talked about that.
I thought he looked like Tom cruise on the first appearance lol

Ill be rewatching this collection RIP NORM

What I absolutely love about Norm is that he is SO comfortable sitting back in the (his) pocket, and is happy to wait until (or if) you join him.
And either is fine with him.
Great point.
Yeah me too. He’s almost never shaken. Or at least almost never showed it. Quite the gift
Thank you, Don Giller! These clips are food for my soul! I love it when Paul Shaffer would intro Norm with that old song from 1962, "Norman".
I think comics loved Norm so much because he was so original. His material and delivery were always one of a kind.
Not "thanks Dave" but
*"Thank you Sir"*
The respect was evident.
Holy crow! Can't believe this. An early christmas gift. Thank you so much, giller, you truly are a scholar and a gentleman.

He did that because he had stomach cancer in 1986.They had to take out half of his stomach and I guess it soothed him in some way.

Binging like crazy, and sooooooo satisfying…….. RIP Norm
You're a legend, Don. Thanks so much for this.
A star is born. So fun to watch this evolution in his confidence and Dave's obvious love of his wit. We miss ya Norm!

11:24 is my favorite part. He looks shocked, and generally shocked to be on the couch
Thank you Don, for compiling these.
So glad to have all these great memories of Norm and all who were bless to share time with him. Heart goes out to his loved ones.
This is AWESOME. What a find! I'll be watching every part of this collection.
I cant help but think about what is going through Norm's mind at 5:54. He's just finished a killer set on his first tv appearance on Letterman. He worked for approximately 2 years to get to this exact point which was his ultimate and ONLY goal. He had no aspirations to go into comedy or write, or act or anything else. His one goal was to get on Letterman and he worked towards that goal and accomplished it. He has said he thought "Well I finally did it. I guess I'lll go back home and get a job now ".

Thank you very much for this. He’s a good guy.
Dave always had love for Norm, not many people had that privilege. Norm even had speech when Letterman was awarded with Mark Twain prize.
Letterman really helped norm out in his career at the beginning
I love that they play Dylan for his intro music. I wonder if he asked Paul if he would do that? How did they know he loved Dylan?
His son is named Dylan
