A perfect example of how genuinely kind and thoughtful person Norm was 8:20 he notices everyone ignoring Nick Swardson. To nobody's fault. Poor Nick just doesn't have the camaraderie with the group because they all have a long history together, and he's newer. Yet, Norm gives Nick his time to shine, and they all realize and follow suit.
That was the one moment we saw Norm step out of his act and it was absolutely beautiful. His heart was pure gold. I met him in LA and seen him several times in my city, and he basically treated my spouse and I the same way, courteous, friendly, caring. We didn’t annoy him at all, he was with his elderly mother and sat right next to us. In fact; we didn’t even say a thing, he reached out to us when he noticed I could barely keep my eyes off him 😂 top 5 GOAT comedian and even finer human being. Rip
@@redd3032 ya I don’t think the issue was Nick not knowing the guys/camaraderie, rather Nick is not a “celebrity” like sandler or spade, and I think Norm was more so looking out for him given that on his own he didn’t have the “star power” or gravitas in the situation to take the lead, Nick was humble and pro, and Norm looked out for his buddy :)
Conan is the perfect host for comedians. He sets them up and allows them space to tell their jokes. No phony laughter or butting in to make it all about himself. He enhances their comedy.
I agree with that one! Both Carson and Letterman also did that same thing and just let them loose. Conan is very much cut from the same cloth as those two.
Fucking hell that hit hard. None of them knew, so many stories about how he would be surprised and disappointed that people wouldn't just hang for whatever reason too. No fucking wonder. Fuck.
@@1qwertyrewq1 Did you not hear Spade's story? Norm was in fact not made of money and got paid shit for the tour. He also had to suck Spade off for a jacket.
Rewatching Spade talk about how Norm always wanted to hang with him at end of the day hits alot differently knowing now he was keeping his health issues private. He must have really loved Spade.
And yet Adam Sandler made the big bucks and Norm may have been the poorest of them all. He did comedy, and life, his own way and it usually didn’t lead to big contracts.
@@mediamannamanNorm was still a millionaire, so he wasn't poor by any means..The only one in this group who didn't make a shit ton of money would be Nick.
It’s worth mentioning when you have really good comedians in one spot that someone like Andy Richter will wait super patiently for his one perfect moment to say one line and it absolutely pays off. “Breakfast is from my act!” Lol
Yeah, but too bad Andy is such a bad sport and hates Norm for his prior jokes about him. Richter is one I used to like, but now he virtue signals and tries too hard to be woke. He's been disappointing to see him be that way.
I love to rewind it several times to watch each persons reaction when they realize what’s going on. It’s such a “ wait for it…” moment. Then, when conan corrects it, hearing Sandlers dumb little laugh is icing on that cake. Whatever they were going to talk about went right out the window and became the Norm segment for all of them. It’s like a jedi mind trick. Awesome.
David Spade said that during this tour, Norm told all the others that he’s the best comedian in that group. And Spade said that their response was always, “yep that’s pretty much true.”
Norms act got so much better as he got older as he finally became the senile uncle he always wanted to be. He would've only gotten funnier as the years went on. RIP
I love the beginning when Norm says he was out front of the hotel with a sandwich sign... It was so quick and sly, that I think only Sandler noticed a few heartbeats later.
Norm was a master of comic timing. I still remember the anecdote he spins when he's talking to Seinfeld in "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee'. He's talking about watching an old episode of Kojak and when the punchline hits, Jerry almost slides out of restaurant seat and on to the floor. Never seen Jerry laugh that hard. Can't blame him, I lost it too-- it was so, so funny.
@@Rowsy91 lol, TH-cam doesn’t allow that word because they don’t want people finding out many of the richest and most highly respected people in the world are such.
I think the biggest consolation for someone who absolutely loves the comedy world and thought Norm was one of the very best of all time, is getting to see how respected and loved he was by other comedians. A lot of great comedians have passed, and a lot of people have said how much they were influenced or how much they loved them, but I don't think anyone has been shown as much love as Norm has. I really hope he knew that he deserves a spot in the Mount Rushmore of comedians.
Yeah... pre-Internet 2.0 I always felt like a freak laughing at the jokes that didn't make people laugh on "Weekend Update" or being the only one who cared that Norm was the talking dog on "Dr. Doolittle"... Then I started seeing that he was the "comedian's comedian" type of thing when Internet became popular... and now, after his passing, it makes me happy to see A LOT of Norm fans talking about him, but not just casual fans but people who know Norm's work and understand his sensibility.
Love how despite having all of these talents here the focus immediately goes to norm and all other peoples norm stories. He commanded that much of a presence.
Right after Schneider says "Conan, I just realized I'm basically in the audience", the camera changes and you see Andy Richter sitting way out in left field.
I cry sometimes when I really think about all of the humor that has been lost recently. I hope Norm is somewhere with Gilbert and Saget just shitting on us for caring about them.
I love how no matter who Norm is on a show with, he always somehow does most of the talking 😂 and it’s usually because the host, and everyone else all banter and tell their funny Norm stories 😂❤ Miss him so much
Norm is the boss. Always “knew of him” but only started discovering his body of work a month ago. How amazing is that? I’m fortunate because he’s a genius I never expected to discover and his comic art speaks directly to me as it does to so many millions of people. There’s hope for the world, friends. I’m in good company, liking Norm Macdonald. Real good company.

Love how they came to promote a movie. They didn't really mention it. It just turned into Norm story time. You could tell they love one another. Miss you, Normie
That "8 o'clock's no good" bit killed me. It's the wind-up to the joke that Norm was so damn good at. Even at a young age he was an old man making you wait patiently while he explained something, but once he got to the end, for one reason or another you were going to be laughing.
I love how the only laugh Rob Schneider got was by telling one of Norm’s jokes. He literally just tried to interject during the whole interview and made it was less funny
I'm so disappointed we won't get real old timey Norm. I was looking forward to seeing what he was going to be like at 75.
Same
norm was already old timey at 40
Grumpy grandpa Norm would’ve been awesome.
I was always hoping Tarentino or Scorsese would make him one of their regulars and he would put down some amazing performances as an old guy.

All of these stories about Norm suggest that a man knowing he had cancer, just wanted to hang out with his boys. It's pretty fuc*ing sweet.
Fucking hell that hit hard. None of them knew, so many stories about how he would be surprised and disappointed that people wouldn't just hang for whatever reason too. No fucking wonder. Fuck.
Sixty nine likes. Huhuh. But also quite sad for the reasons you mentioned. He just wanted company with the boys.
he got paid a lot of money. you think they do shows for free just because they "want to hang out with his boys"?

@@CollinKillian Correction: Rob was getting a ton of roles for 5 years, then everyone realized he sucked and that stopped happening, thankfully.
Norm acknowledging Nick is the best part. That’s a man right there
And then he throws off Nick's timing by interrupting
All of these lines are gold but somehow “I wake up the rooster” will always be my favorite 😂
i was just thinking that....
Someone should have come back with "Because you spent the whole night choking the chicken."
The face he makes after that kills me
Only Norm could make a, "I played Frank" line funny. Rest in peace Normie. 1:29
100%… Norm is the goat of goats
Adams laugh in response cured my depression for a moment lol
I've heard from a good authority, he stole that line from another fellow that would exclaim " I played Norm".
It’s worth mentioning when you have really good comedians in one spot that someone like Andy Richter will wait super patiently for his one perfect moment to say one line and it absolutely pays off. “Breakfast is from my act!” Lol
He's a pro
That was one of Andy’s best attributes: patience. That one line was perfect.
Andy put the Strawberry topping on the pancakes with that one!

Yeah, but too bad Andy is such a bad sport and hates Norm for his prior jokes about him. Richter is one I used to like, but now he virtue signals and tries too hard to be woke. He's been disappointing to see him be that way.
“It’s very famous for difficult people to bomb” “what’re you on acid?”

He was always great.
Well said. We got gypped out of having Norm around. I'll never stop missing him.
I missed norm, I still miss him, but I also missed him before.
I'll never stop missing Norm. EVER
This clip hits home
My husband gets jealous of all my deep dives into norm clips. I will never get overhim being gone either.
"8:00 pm is little late, news is on." Tears squirting out of my eyes, I so lost it. The payoff is worth the LONG set up. Norm = Comical Genius

Squirting
Norm had presence. He's sitting in the back and manages to make everything else the background
Makes Rob Schneider the butt of the joke 😂
What an unimaginably huge compliment to Norm that all of these guys have an imitation of him. They’re basically acknowledging that he’s the greatest.
There goes Norm MacDonald, the best that ever was.

Thanks for keeping Norm MacDonald’s memory alive. We miss ya Norm…. no one tells a story like you do….
With Norm, the punchline was never as important as the journey towards it. He made it seem effortless.

If it weren't for the audio track I'd have no idea which pixel was Norm. RIP big guy.
"I get nervous with Normy behind me" pretty much sums him up. You never know what was going to come out but you knew it was coming.
Kind of Norm to bring Nick into the conversation
That was, great to have him share the spot light
He did that to Schneider too
Minnesotans are honorary Canadians, so....bros.
Norm was the biggest mensch on the show. High intelligence, high empathy, high talent. Painfully missed by connoisseurs of comedy everywhere.
I love how this entire set revolves around Norm.
Because it's supposed to be comedy
