Norm MacDonald Talk Show 1997 (Part 3)

[judettaja]

2:51-3:35...i cant even..

[CrazyInsane22]

funniest underrated part of this video... when norm comes into the screen and they have to move the camera over.

[Scardriver]

It's funny because chairman of the board ruined her career...

[flaxislet]

That punchline is as close as anything has come to making up for all the years i've wasted away wacthing tv.

[shippa7]

@birchboy79 Norm doesn't drink

[Dart567]

This chick from According to Jim seems annoying.

[shutthefuckuploser]

LOL 330

[lehtinen21]

Conan's not that bright.

[546046]

@lehtinen21 He only went to Harvard

[lehtinen21]

@546046 I mean he doesn't understand Norm's comedy. Like that premature ejaculating line. Everyone else in the room got it.

[546046]

@lehtinen21 I'm pretty sure he got the joke. I think what conan meant by what he said was that he knew norm was going to add something more to the 9 1/2 second line.

[chowder261]

Norm is the most unherladed comedian today. Wish he would get the recognition he deserves. True origonal; most comedians simply tell joke after joke but Norm brings something special and unique to the table. Harland Williams very similar in his originality.

[birchboy79]

Thanks for uploading this!!! Watch it all the time. Classic!!!!!! Norm is obviously drunk in this, which i hate to say makes him even funnier than he is normally!!

[JacobDragyn]

This whole interview ends up being remarkably cohesive.

[shippa7]

never gets old

[shippa7]

This should be played in MoMA on repeat

[jmfn1988]

Norm is the best

[koribrus]

Norm IS the biggest ass I've ever seen. But that doesn't mean he's not awesome.

[pendevil]

This small clip was more funny than Carrot Top's entire career.

[jbrisby]

What colorblind idiot ever told you you were a redhead, Conan?

[ink85]

nice!

[fakehater99]

fat retard tourists...

sounds about right.

;)

[theuncletodd]

Norm has no filter--turned a dull interview into comedy gold

[jaguiar45]

I think jenny johnson is crazy and it's just a matter of time before she stands on a street corner yelling that stuff at passing cars.

[olderthanyou]

If JennyJohnsonHi5 sent you here, the real laughs start around 4:00

[zwaqster]

@olderthanyou she did. thanks

[TheeFinchLynch]

JennyJohnsonHi5!!

[drenacide]

JennyjohnsonHi5

[underactive73]

JennyJohnsonHi5!!!

[pojojohnson1234]

Premature ejaculator.

[janzendavi]

Three years later she did an episode on the Norm show so obviously there was no bad blood there. I think even she knew Chairman of the Board was a bad idea.

[ChicagoCane100]

Norm new the segment was bombing and acted accordingly.

[zalyster]

Are you talking about melrose place?

BAHAHAHA

[WayneJetski69]

Tracy Morgan and so many more get in trouble for saying retard nowadays even if in a club not even on tv, we are going backwards in many ways culturally

[HymanKaplan]

"Do something with that you freak"

"I bet it's spelled B-O-R-E-D."

This is one of the best punchlines I've ever heard. LOL.

[ccisbeast]

The 90's, baby. It was always a party.

[MaxPowers1987]

Odd how bitchy prude translated to hot bitch in the 90s.

[quiksix25]

I love how at 0:10 Norm tries to pop his head into the shot- this whole segment is classic

[TheChristKnight7]

@crhurley I'm right there with you on that on-tears in my eyes at this moment!

[pepsiplunge316]

"What about my career"

I guess she didn't even watch the movie.

[crhurley]

Greatest comedic moment in the history of television. I come back to this video every few months and I get tears in my eyes EVERY time.

[goldglover88]

This appearance by Norm is the funniest I have ever seen on any talk show over the years. Classic.

[LeComaAnim]

Norm Macdonald: the only guest ever to get 3 segments on Conan's show

[goodmoviesaregood]

@LeComaAnim Is that true?

[randommanthefirst]

God, Norm's story about living on Melrose Place kills me every time. It goes absolutely nowhere. 

[usig00]

God dam Ginger Kids.

[primeaplus]

I want to know what Norm says after they go to commercial break, he cracked Courtney up right after the band started playing

[tiltmonk]

lol "chairman of the board", average imdb rating 2,2. that´s gotta be the worst average i´ve ever seen on that site.

[apauled]

she was actually in an episode of The Norm Show a few years after this imdb.com /title/tt0662140/ :-)

[pretorious700]

if her hair were brown she'd be waiting tables

[Erilis666]

lmao, omg he tore her apart

[megamanmaniac]

Is she drunk?

[pretorious700]

@megamanmaniac No, just talentless and a little stupid

[Dannomack]

I like how the top commenter says that Norm is on a superior plane and is highly intelligent... then somehow decides that that means people who don't get it are mentally retarded? Literally makes no sense at all.

[Cmpowell83]

Haha I was just looking on her page, and she guest starred on "The Norm" show.

[thSubliminalCriminal]

that broad is doing a show with john belushi's brother these days.

[yeshiva83]

That was so wrong. He cracked up conan. That was amazing.

[PCN023]

What i don't get about the whole 'Team Coco' thing is that Coca just isn't all that funny.

Norm is awesome but a loose cannon and network executives take their egos seriously.

Did you know that Norm's brother is a senior reporter for CBC news?

[THEUNOTE]

the best zing in the history of television

[stonebridge999]

Lorne Michaels should be beaten with a garden hose for not sticking up for Norm when he lost his job. What kind of idiot executives get rid of a guy like him and put bums like Chris Kattan and Molly Shannon on tv? Norm's the fuckin man...

[Tommie809]

"Im talking to Andy!"

[kaleo8088]

she calls andy richter andy just like she calls her brother in the show andy in according to jim

[grands1am]

I'm starting to think that Conan knows that Norm is much funnier than him, because most of their interviews together show Conan being oddly combative, just putting him down... trying to encourage Norm to bomb and not really understanding his style in general

[headphonic8]

People aren't "mentally retarded" for disliking Norm's humor. People just have different senses of humor.

But damn, he is one funny bastard.

[tehghostbuster]

"Why weren't you watching my show?"

"Because I wasn't on i that night."

[neildurbin]

"are you talking about Melrose Place?"

[Turder]

B-O-R-E-D.

I need CPR please.

[wastexxxaway]

Norms timing is unbelievable! He knows where the conversation is going before it gets there then releases a joke perfectly, in which sets himself up for another. He's like a grandmaster chess player thats always 10 moves ahead of everyone else.

[rpyon21]

I've watched this clip a dozen times at least, and it always makes me laugh. I wish Norm was a guest on Conan's show every night. He can spin a laugh out of any situation.

[aschlafli8585]

"Wait a minute, she left Melrose Place to do a movie with Carrot Top?"

Norm pretty much read everyone's mind when he asked that question.

[findjinn]

I suspect that, although Norm is unpredictable, Norm and Conan cooked up reasons to build a funny reparte around ganging up on Carrot Top.

[asalmog]

@findjinn Although that takes away the spontaniety charm of the scene, you hunch seems quite reasonable. I doubt they had Carrot Top's picture there reade (when Norm was talking) just by coincedence. It was probably somewhat planned by the two of them (though not by her).

[AndreDarkAngel]

@asalmog I think they had Carrot Top picture ready for her, to show it as a funny thing when they were talking about her movie with him. And Norm mentioned him and they showed it because they had it ready for her.

[asswind567]

3:33  hand gesture is just classic

[haku8645]

Oh Jesus I have to stop crying. As soon as he said 'I bet it's spelled BORED!' I completely lost it. In public.

[mattd687]

Its a good thing Norm was there because the actress was sucking the life out of the room

[deltapunk21]

@mattd687 courtney was funny like 9 1/2 weeks and playing along she was great juat because she was in a movie with carrot top does not make her evil it makes her stupid but not evil

[mattd687]

Its a good thing Norm was there because the actress was sucking the life out of the room

[whteveridk]

I know people who have a similar sense of humor as Norm, and I'd like to think my jokes are sometimes the same type of humor. I do not think Norm is smarter than other people. It's just that Norm and his likes have a different way of thinking about thinking. You have to have a mentally sadistic sense of humor. Not sadistic in the way that you can laugh at other people getting hurt, but laugh at what other people are thinking in their head.

[airdogg88NB]

@whteveridk Thats a completly incoherant comment.

[Zarathustrasbrother]

This is the funniest interview ever, I think!

[deekismusic]

troLOLOL

[TheDFanatic]

He is... Norm will be missed! RIP NORM! 

[daisypaste]

@TheDFanatic not even a funny joke at all

[redteamdarkspear]

I just realized that I've been using norm mcdonald style humor my entire life. Nobody appreciates it though :(

[drgdrf]

RIP Norm

[billchase2]

@drgdrf He's not dead.

[TrueMusou]

Don't play chess with Norm...he's always 10 steps ahead

[antibishonen]

6:15

Norm's alternate name for any movie with Carrot Top....

CLASSIC PUNCHLINE!

[yasseford]

"You're the biggest ass I ever met."

[fullbag50]

7:08 - Conan says 'Note to self: do not EVER challenge Norm MacDonald again'.

[ronniepage]

she is terrible... she deserved it norm knew it and acted accordingly

[wubranch1]

@ronniepage She wasn't horrible, it's just Norm is so funny he makes everyone boring on comparison. I would hate to be on the show opposite Norm because he is way too funny for me to sound interesting.

[dixxjamm]

@ronniepage At least she seemed genuinely amused at her expense...and nice...which is more than I expected from her judging by her roles...

[amok52]

@ronniepage yea she's bad but on the other hand she was really good sport



[crazybbob]

@ronniepage why is she terrible?

[paganiniGOGO]

Damn.

[Macabre68]

I watched this in 97 and came looking for it just now in 2010. Glad to see it on youtube. I laughed just as hard now as i did in 97. Great stuff. Love ya Norm.

[Dulcimerist]

I remember when this aired, and about died laughing! Thanks so much for posting this so I could see it again!

[rimsdothemacarena]

fat tourist retards

[abasanti]

@rimsdothemacarena like your uncle jorge

[rimsdothemacarena]

@abasanti retards (tourists)

[SethHesio]

Norm is god damn funny... he's just made for this format.

[blakewtf]

Carrot Top pressed dislike 8 times!

[JacobDragyn]

@blakewtf What I find most remarkable about your comment is, no one else has pressed dislike in 6 months. Norm wins.

[JoseDCampa]

norm macdonald is a pothead isn't he?

[Ph4nToM890]

@JoseDCampa

Nah he's just on Xanax.

[2taggs2]

Norm McDonald is not funny usually (my opinion).

With that said... he was "on" this night. I remember watching this and crying laughing. Most of the times when he tries to be funny, you hear crickets -- not this night. "Chairman of the BORED" Classic.

[drzfynest65]

@2taggs2 And his impression of Larry Flynt earlier in the episode was absolutely priceless lol...my sides are killing me from so much laughter

[Hum0ng0us]

I actually like the Chairman of the Board. lol

[aubrownds1]

Box Office Poison!

[aubrownds1]

He's so funny. Norm MacDonald, we miss you.

[damnhot]

Norm is so fucking hilarious

[Craigmin]

Courtney Thorne-Smith comes across as kind of a glum cunt in this interview.

[chapaev36]

@Craigmin Why are people ragging on Courtney? She's being a very good sport. Not everyone can be laid back like Norm.

[Galactic123]

Every time I see Norm I get the uneasy feeling that he's the smartest guy in the room. And he's plotting something.

[SethHesio]

I love the rapport between Conan and Norm it's awesome.

[misledprops]

@SethHesio its great! i love that norm used to just drop by for no reason haha

[GenoPeppino]

I remembered this word for word after 13 years. It was something epic, like an unforgettable speech. And all these years later, this brief late night moment still makes me laugh so hard I tear up!!! @Mistwaters @burnt4 ... Exactly.

[Vamphaery]

"Do something with that, you freak."

"I bet the board is spelled B O R E D."

LMFAO.

[blacktopaz8]

i think he smokes crack

[radicalgarbage02]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! ^99999999999999999999999999999­9999999999

[spooky2384]

"retard tourists who are always fat..." LOL!!

[wuzcloopin]

I love that Norm Macdonald sticks around for the hell of it.

[tribuprod]

i just can't get enoght of this clip !!!!! .... Norm is a comedy genious !!!! ..... i feel kind of bad for the girl, but whatever .....

[sawza1]

Box office poison. bahahahahahahahaha

[kievielle]

5:33

[bills29]

Norm is the king

[LetsOpenTheseSodas]

Norm is a god.

[csquaredremixz]

Norm should be Conan's sidekick on his TBS show... like someone else said, he's at his funniest when he's just being himself, not when he's doing standup or acting. The only problem would be that celebrities would be too afraid to come on!

[TheManixx]

"do something with that you freak" i bet board is spelled BORED......LMFAO

[gohawkz]

God Bless Norm. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

[chimpiki]

What's her face is taking this interview way too seriously. It's like people are actually invested in her career, which went nowhere. Thank god for Norm McDonald.

[ZoSo471]

norm is great, definitely an interesting guy. not really good a stand up or being an actor, norm's funniest when he's just being norm

[rextside]

Epic.

[miamad]

Norm is a cock.

[h20erich20]

Courtney is so fuckin' full of herself. Makes me want to throw up. I'm glad Norm stole the show from her.

[zaprudermacphee]

norm hijacks the interview and comes up with some of the funniest late night shit ever!

[Erilis666]

@zaprudermacphee what Norm adds to these late night shows is why i watch them.

[OccasionalJDyo]

The sad thing about Norm is that his best medium is "talk show guest".

[locozito]

@OccasionalJDyo Then you haven't seen or listen to his stand ups routines

[MattCadillac]

@locozito To be honest, I agree with Occasional. I've seen a few of his stand-ups, and I cracked a smile once. His talk show moments are by far his best, because he's naturally witty.

[locozito]

@MattCadillac The I'll recomend to you to listen the 'Norm MacDonald - Old Routine in Anaheim' dont know where u can find it but if u can, so it. Simply hilarious. Cheers

[MattCadillac]

@locozito Good looking out, I'll try to find it.

[quiksix25]

@SanjayMaru1994 FOX already cancelled an Andy Richter sitcom a few years ago, so I highly doubt they would give him another shot. They should keep Andy with Conan and let Conan pick some comedian to go on at 1235 (I trust his taste a hell of a lot more than some FOX executive that went to some business school and now thinks he knows something about comedy). I really think Conan would be best on HBO, though. He can give them a way to end that travesty called the Real Time with Bill Maher.

[zenanarchist]

@quiksix25 ha yeah, he got George Lopez now...

[daytonafreakboy]

dont think i have ever seen Norm this hammered- ever!

[sventoby]

I found out after watching this video for the 20th time that I actually saw Chairman of the Board when I was like 6. Worst movie ever.

[asmPato]

Yes, I can see where you're coming from, Mistwaters... of course it's also possible that he was just completely blasted.

[Mistwaters]

Norm MacDonald's humor is just on a plane 99% of comedians and for that matter fans can't associate with. He's in a superior zone of cleverness. There's a million miles of intelligence behind his eyes at every moment...it's almost like he's lived 100 times before, and he's just watching us all make jackasses of ourselves.

Norm would be like, the dream guy to stop by if you were drinking some beers around a campfire with your buddies.

People that "don't get" Norm, are mentally retarded.

[heyguy123]

@Mistwaters if he is in a superior zone of cleverness then why do you have to be mentally retarded not to get him? you're kinda dumb and snobby

[locozito]

@Mistwaters They are no mentally retarded, they are just not as lucky as we are.

[keithcarey]

@Mistwaters I love the comedy of Norm, although its a bit simple. Its like he doesn't want to unleash his brilliance all at once. He gambles, drinks, and considers himself to be a normal guy.

Anyway, if he lived 100 times then how could someone be retarded for not getting him? My brother totally "gets" Norm and he is in the top 1% of American / Canadian IQs. So, does this mean my bro has 100 past lives? Anyway, I'll be filling my weekend with Norm on Youtube. Later.

[jayrobson88]

@Mistwaters dont go nuts. He's funny, not the funniest greatest most intelligent person ever.

[Moldova]

@Mistwaters Well, I think calling 99% of humanity "retarded" is harsh, if only slightly. But seriously, your comment about Norm having seemed to live 100 lives already is highly insightful and I appreciate it. It's a feeling I've had regarding him that I'd never articulated before.

[honkifyoudonk]

@Mistwaters seems like he wouldn't be very famous if 99% of his fans (let alone the general population) couldn't associate with his humor....

"lived 100 times before" wtf he's not Buddha, he's just an exceptionally witty guy. There's nothing wrong with being a fan of the guy, I am too, but don't digitally suck his dick like this, its embarrassing

[fakant]

@honkifyoudonk Truth

[msdos]

@Mistwaters this was just about the perfect post until the last sentence

[yojimbo400]

Can't wait for "Hollywood & Wine" and "Grown Ups"

[burnt4]

This is honestly the funniest late night moment I have ever seen. Norm is hilarious

[qotsa08]

Carrot Top looks like the Joker(Heath Ledger)

[braindamage01002]

I love Norm i wish he was in more movies and tv.

[chriskim214]

conan was genuinely laughing on this one hahaha (as opposed to other times you kind of know its forced)... he had a hard time going to commerial break

[Matika]

did she farted at 1:29 ???

[ZooZooRazRaz]

good point!

[uk6strings]

Talk show producers must tell Norm backstage to interupt the second interview if the interview is boring because Norm also jumped in and stole the previously boring interviews Conan did with Thomas Hayden Church and Gretchen Bleiler.

[quiksix25]

I think that's just the way Norm is

[Lumpycpu]

@uk6strings no i think he just does that. norm is awesome because he says what's on his mind no matter what. hilarious.
