@@thecalebwalker It certainly does; but the thing is, like all his "showbiz friends", Saget didn't even know he was sick. So I assume he was told this after the fact by Norm's family or by Lori Jo Hoekstra
The best thing about how Norm went about his cancer, isn't that he told no one, which is bad ass, but he made himself laugh knowing unwittingly friends were apart of the joke. Fucking legend.
I loved Norm's calls to Dennis Miller where he would do this feigned ventriloquist act. Dennis would always bring up his crotchety old dummy, asking how that was going and Norm would always protest about being asked to "take him out of the bag". Old Alec Magerison or some such name as I recall. Norm would always say he didn't like working with that dummy because the dummy was a holocaust denier. Nobody could extract funny out of absurdity like Norm!
I think Adam Eget told a story on Matt and Shane's podcast that Norm went to Bob Dylan's house one night and they stayed up all night talking. Really makes you wonder if the guy had a doghouse.
99% sure I heard someone close to him state that he was very positive about his upcoming procedure/treatment. The curse of Norm MacDonald Live Strikes again!
1:10 I agree with Mark on this one. I think when death is that close, you are not really thinking about pranks. You would be thinking more about deceiving yourself into believing that everything will be fine. But with Norm, you really never know. :D He made so many jokes about death and mortality, he may really meant this as a prank.
Agreed! Look at her first round of yapping. Mark starts rubbing his face out of awkward annoyance. Collin gives a fake laugh. And Sam looks into the Abyss. She was the worst guess I have ever heard.
In the past, he has said he doesn’t like doing podcasts, but he has been in comedy forever, and has good stories & anecdotes. Recently, he’s made the rounds, and in the right setting (like this one), we get to hear some great conversations about the environment business. He also seems to be down to earth, and just a normal dude. His reluctance to over share, or even consider himself a celebrity, is why he’s held in high regard by other comics, and the fans of this type of content.
If you enjoyed this I’d recommend listening to Colin’s appearances on Opie and Anthony. He kills with Norton and Patrice. There’s even an episode with Colin and Norm on O and A although it’s pretty short (like half an hour)
@@Frank7489 Thanks for the recommendations. Luckily, we get to revisit some of those great guest appearances, especially the comics they had on regularly. A lot of hilarious conversations that went with them just being themselves. I’m from Baltimore, and during those prime O&A years, I was listening to Don & Mike. I only knew about O&A from the minor beef those shows had. Several years ago, and especially during the pandemic, I started listening to the O&A stuff on yt. Not sure if I’ve already heard the Quinn episodes, but I’ll check them out.
Love the Norm talk. I’m such a huge fan of his I could listen to a Norm fest for hours. Nobody ever made me laugh the way he did. One of the greats. Such a loss. He had more to give. RIP Norm 🙏🏼 💔
This was one of the sadder tributes to Norm. Only Colin knew him and the other three prove that they were only minor fans and don't know what they're talking about
1:56 Andy Samberg basically did the same thing when he was on a roast. Norm went old school and cheesy and bombed for fun until the audience went along for the ride. Andy went super nice and cheesy and bombed for fun until the audience went along for the ride.
Other comedians who would do that kind of thing: * Andy Kaufman * Harland Williams Look for comedians who have an unrelenting nature that they don’t conform to the expectations of an audience. Comedians who would basically bomb for fun. Comedian who go WAY too far on a bit. I’m sure I’m missing some who else?
@@federicobenavides7107 Sure. According to Bob (his friend and post roast interviews of this are online), Norm just didn't want to do the roast. So, he didn't really participate. He told jokes from an old joke book from the 1940s. People keep calling it brilliant. It was different. At the end of the day, he's still there to entertain. From what Bob said they had to cut a LOT of it out because it almost every joke was bombing. Is it brilliant to intentionally bomb? I don't think so (maybe if you're making a specific point). Is it brilliant to retell someone else's jokes? Definitely not. Is it interesting to use a totally different approach? For sure. What he did was definitely interesting. Comics liked it more than the audience. I think there's something to that.
I think he was fully aware it was a possibility, that's why he recorded that last "special" beforehand at his own house to get it on video in case he didn't make it.
@@mvprime8 well I had tickets to see him the month after he passed he had a few shows in the northeast booked but I think he always knew there was a possibility since he battled illness for so long
A couple of things about Norm and being Canadian. 1. He has one brother, a very well renowned journalist. 2. Canadians in general do not react to celebrities in the same fashion as Americans. 3. Norm's comedy is very much Canadian in its silliness.
Norm has so many hilarious legendary moments however my all time fav has gota be when he got kicked out of the state by the gov for a lude set in front of school kids and the elderly LOL that story just kills me how totally outraged everyone was and he couldnt give a flying fuck as usual haha
I've heard a number of people express surprise that Norm didn't tell anyone that he was terminally ill. I've even heard a couple of comedians seem hurt that he didn't share it with them. I can't understand why this is such a surprise, though. What famous person has announced that they are dying?
Norm was The Best.Nuff Said.If you're too dumb to understand the commitment required to do what he did,your loss!Go watch fluffy. Gonna see Sam in 2 weeks.1st time,psyched!
Norm. I loved him from the 90s when he was just basically an unknown quirky guy. He was truly something else! . We all blow smoke up the ass of the dead but norm was truly a brilliant human being
I bet he wanted to do those gigs though, if he said yes he probably wanted to do it. It was probably more of a sweet kind thing to them individually to want to hang out with them even though he knew he didnt have long, just my take
![Norm Macdonald - Catches Up With Craig - Only Appearance [720p]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yzFVHCVUGak/mqdefault.jpg)
Setting up gigs just to die a month later absolutely sounds like something Norm would do.
Maybe.. but Saget said Norm thought he was gonna beat it, even near the end
@@georgetheodosi7719telling Saget that he was going to beat it (knowing he wasn't) also sounds like something he would do to be fair
@@thecalebwalker It certainly does; but the thing is, like all his "showbiz friends", Saget didn't even know he was sick. So I assume he was told this after the fact by Norm's family or by Lori Jo Hoekstra

Norm: "Sarah Silverman - hysterical. Who's funnier than her? Except dudes, but..."
9:00 Norm actually LOVED Outlaw Country, that had to be another bit he was running on Colin 😂😂😂
Funny how his friends and big comedians still dig out all the Norm stuff on TH-cam just like the rest of us.
483 dollars, and 5 cents. “Who paid the 5 cents?” Every one of them!
Truly an all timer of a joke. He broke the Swedish German with that one.

My guy Rusty? He's made of wood.
The bounty hunter call is another classic. The way he was able to riff like that was sublime.
@@JamoonXerxesSauber For sure! "Are his bounty hunting days over?"
He’s a virulent anti-Semite!
He wasn't racist, just ignorant.
first time i've ever seen someone stand while sitting
Really uncomfortable to watch, surprisingly
"At least we still have Fluffy"😆!
I can feel this woman's posture 😅
It's like she's halfway to sliding onto the floor. Or holding in a fart.
@@CRFLAus so shes either going up or down, got it
Richard Dreyfus' neice
I can feel her voice too 😅 She's the type who would complain to Auschwitz guard to up the heat cause her feet are cold 😁
so funny. first thing i noticed too

They should make Norm's eyes move on the pic every once in a while to freak out the guests. Radio controlled servo motor, get on it Jaimo.
I didn't know he was producer over here. I'd be surprised to learn he doesn't any other shows.
@@johnnypottseed He's not, but Mark always says Jaimo to imitate Rogan.

But with Norm, you really never know. :D He made so many jokes about death and mortality, he may really meant this as a prank.
If ever Harvey Keitel wants to know where his vocal chords went, I think we found them.
Wait, Swardson has the same exact story. Was Norm trying to fool all his friends into moving to Vegas for the fall?
Haha definitely. Pretty sure Spade was invited too
Swardson’s story involved Reno, I believe.
that woman missed the show booking joke entirely, also Sam's face when she starts yappin is priceless
Agreed! Look at her first round of yapping. Mark starts rubbing his face out of awkward annoyance. Collin gives a fake laugh. And Sam looks into the Abyss. She was the worst guess I have ever heard.
Sam and Rachel are close friends
@@MarlowWhereso its his fault! Up yours Sam, i will never forgive you!!!!!
HEAVY DUTY GRILLING GRATES
Norm's mother Fern lived in a condo Norm bought for her in the same complex. He definitely did not live in a one bedroom condo with his mother.
Normand is the king of misinformation
Love a comedian that knows next to nothing about Norm. Clearly a huge comedy fan.
more norm stories whoop whoop
You don't belong here if you're into ICP. Whoop whoop!
@@hurleyinc686 i’m just gonna keep enjoying norm you keep enjoy being salty 🫡
Do people even say that anymore? Whoop whoop!
@@hurleyinc686yeah, thanks, hurleyinc686, like anyone’s gonna fuckin listen to you
Boy, I wish that lady could have talked more!
The lady clearly did not watch or enjoy Normie, but still wanted to give her opinions on the matter.
Fuck me…4 seconds into the video and I had a feeling she wasn’t just there to look good and be quiet. Why the hell is she there?!
Keen observation! One thing is for sure!! Norm would have HATED this chick.. something about wannabe funny women brought the best out of Norm..
You're an asshole, that's rachel Feinstein, well respected comic.
Trying to do Norm's "AHHHH" is annoying
@@seanmurphy26Rachel is funny as hell. You just hate female comedians.
Her hand looks crazy tiny at 0:50
Collin looks like a wise owl that’s a teacher
It's amazing Colin can remember anything at his age.
He's not old enough for that to be funny.
@@AroundTheWorldWithEaseLol..65 ? yeah..true
Ever heard of Rickles?
Huh? Not even close. What sort of nonsense are you trying spit out?
@@AroundTheWorldWithEase I'm just kidding guys I love Colin lol
jesus, the worst googler of THE world just skipped the norm punchline about viagra
Why would they skip one of the better parts of that interview with norm ?
They skipped right as he was about to say the joke they were talking about lmao
7:25 He and his mom had condo's in the same complex. I don't think they lived together in a one bedroom.
A Toronto article stated that Norm was expecting to recover from cancer, but died from an unexpected infection.
All the best comedians talk about Norm in the best terms.
so now i love colin quinn

Funny how much colin turns into your granda when they pointed at Norm Macdonalds picture 😂
Thanks Mark. I love Norm Macdonald
I'm old enough to remember when my friends used to shit on Norm back in the 90s. They've all come full circle, and I win. What a guy.
I've heard Nick Swardson tell this story but it's the first I've heard Colin say Norm asked him to do Vegas with him
911 Airlines!....Huh, reminds me of that Tragedy 🤣🤣🤣
Who’s the broad?
Phyllis Diller
Rachel Feinstein
interview would have been better without her
Darude Sandstorm
@@MeanKitchnerLeslie They need to bring her back.
They literally skipped the punchline of the whole joke on dennis miller show!
Which one ? He was on there probably 20 hrs of material
This was one of the sadder tributes to Norm. Only Colin knew him and the other three prove that they were only minor fans and don't know what they're talking about
Norm's a Canadian legend.
He didn't even know he was sick!
Great upload, Mark. I could listen to comics talking about Norm for hours. I know how much you admired his comedy. Me. too!!
RIP Norm 🙏🏻
I like Mark, can't watch either of his podcasts anymore in full episodes....I went to gay conversion therapy.
Why is that chick there...?
right, just pretending as though she knew norm and understood him, shes a nobody
for diversity lol

When I saw Andy on the Franco roast the first thing I thought of was Norm's set!
andy killed, had Hader in stitches (not that rare, but still). Norm had people giving awkward looks till the end.

Norm was truly the best comedian of our time
Norm was a singular comic he was the comics comic.
The female bert kreischer
take a shot every time this lady says “comic” or “comedian”
I see a new norm story and I can’t click on it fast enough
2:10 “there’s something so foul about a woman just holding up her rock”
God damn that’s a great line
Norm didn’t know he was gonna die in that operation he got an infection and didn’t make it out but he had been battling for years
I actually didn’t know this I never found out the exact details
I think he was fully aware it was a possibility, that's why he recorded that last "special" beforehand at his own house to get it on video in case he didn't make it.

@@huohization not well
He did it because he was Norm. The punchline was that he knew he wouldn't do those shows.
had tickets to norms show at foxwoods he died like 2 days before the show, so he was serious about the gigs at casinos
He was probably trolling you too
I remember him too
Is this lady standing or sitting??
RIP Norm.
Me clicking the video:
😁😄😎👍
When the video began:
🤦♂️🤬🚫🤷🏼♀️
Norm is the best argument against Ottawa being a boring city... and he left as soon as he could. 😂
R.I.P.
It kills me that they just skipped one of Norm's best unexpected digs at Spade by probably just seconds
miss you norm
It’s a shame the guy running the computer skipped over the best part of that Dennis Miller appearance right before Norm was about to tell the joke
With those three guys in the room, why did the lady feel she was the only person with something to say?
Chicks like to talk, what can you do.
11:36
She also does this dumb thing called talking over everyone 😂

One comment for market Normand
Norm loved Bob Dylan, thats why his son is named Dylan
wtf? Whose mom is that? Ruined the entire episode.
After all this time i think norm just didnt want to think about it all the time. And just lived like it was his last
Tunisian knife fighter.
So bad that this girl's on the show with Colin.She won't let him speak.
Colin Quinn is my favorite comedian. I watched him live in new york on east village he just comes across as a great guy not just supremely funny.
Norm has so many hilarious legendary moments however my all time fav has gota be when he got kicked out of the state by the gov for a lude set in front of school kids and the elderly LOL that story just kills me how totally outraged everyone was and he couldnt give a flying fuck as usual haha
One for the algorithm
She reminds me of a cross between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren bobert.
Idiot engineer skipped over the part everyone was waiting for on the Spade video.
There is no way it wasn't a troll!
Where has imnotnorm been
They watch the whole set up and skip it just before he brings it back to Spade!
Dammit, your guy skipped the best part of Norm bashing Spade.

LOL, Nick Swardson told Theo Von he said something similar to him.
10:55 Jesus, Norm has zero attention span lol
podcasting is in a dire state

Nick Swardson said something about Norm asking if he wanted to move to AZ and work the clubs there.
