Agreed, he was. I never met Norm, but the closest I got to feeling like I made a difference was I tweeted a PDF of Tolstoy’s Confessions at him way back, and Norm favorited it. At the time it was one of only a handful of tweets he’d favorited (or saved - I can’t remember the iteration in place at the time).
The great thing about loving Norm and his style of comedy, is that there's decades of it. Another interview that's completely new to me. God Bless Norm's Soul
This fill in guest host spot is a good example of how bad a misogynist Norm was. Jim Downey is a great man and I hope he lives for a long, long time to come.
When I watched this it said there were two comments. Now; I'm not big into counting, but I checked and I am pretty sure there were only one. And I can see this being a problem if it said 3422 comments and it was just 3421, but realistically I would'nt count them, so I'm thinking: this is my chance. That's why I'm writing this to see if it says three afterwards.
_Was_ only one. When there's only _one,_ it _was,_ not _were._ I know you're just a random guy, but I'm a random asshole. We both have our roles, you see.
People grab at these terms that ultimately mean entirely different things, or nothing at all, without context. Now, let me explain something about context... ...someone else wanna jump in?
We miss you, Norm, I hope you were wearing your SPORTS cap when they laid you to rest. Jim Downey wrote most of The Californians, an idea Fred Armisen said would work great as a soap opera. :) 12:05 Amerika Sawyer, Jim! 26:13 Bill Hader was on the show one time! Norm set up a joke, his cohort fell for it, and Bill hit it home, pow!
That guy who made Norm laugh is so lucky.
pokin in the fire
hahah when he said pokin in the fire i almost spit out my drink that was gold
Anyone else google it to see if it was actually a phrase?
Gary from Saginaw, he's out there somewhere

"oh I could go on and on"
"Ok go ahead"
18:40 The Gary in Saginaw Michigan Bit -- Gary makes Norm crack up
Thank you! I relisten to this caller like once a week haha
Jim! Whatcha got pokin’ in the fire?
Jim’s account (on account of) the firing elevated Norm’s sheer badassness to to an unrivaled level of integrity

I love norm and Jim Downey
So happy to have found this as a die hard norm fan.. and a very big fan of the great Jim downey
cool to hear his issue on politics, miss you norm rip. the listerner is right we need more of norm
"Want to take another call from what _you_ refer to as the great unwashed?"
Man. I miss you Dude! Even when I’m the most F’d up ever, 5 minutes of Norm and his Friends cuts me loose to laugh! Cheers Baby!!
The chemistry between these two is so funny. Its like listening to two buddies who took mushrooms, but 40 minutes apart.
🐐 v 🐐
Just checking in on how many comments there are on this little video here, and to listen to it
26:00 - based caller
Wow what a great video, from the mouth of two literal geniuses, with a great story and great chemistry. Thank you!
You know how they say Norm appeals to both smart and dumb people well I’ve just found out I’m one of the dumb ones
If you google Jim Downey, the internet doesnt even know what year he was born 😂

The 1985 cast of SNL had Robert Downey, Jr and Anthony Michael Hall.
"Robert Downey, Jr" nephew of Jim (really)
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 Robert Downey, Jr's mom was trans. No jokes.

To give you guys an update: it still said 2 comments.
Now I'm flabbergasted.
Edit: Still said two after this reply ...

@@murderc27 Shh, I'm counting here ...
I love both of you
I mean I'm not like a gay guy or anything...
What do you mean the bush people ?
Ahead of their times!
Norm, the origin of "fake news"?
People grab at these terms that ultimately mean entirely different things, or nothing at all, without context.
Now, let me explain something about context...
...someone else wanna jump in?
The expression "fake news" goes back into the 19th century.
Sure i’ll jump in
@@murderc27OJ has taken up high board diving… goes into the water like a stabbing knife…
rosanne is the best. and wanda sykes.
We miss you, Norm, I hope you were wearing your SPORTS cap when they laid you to rest.

12:05 Amerika Sawyer, Jim!
26:13 Bill Hader was on the show one time! Norm set up a joke, his cohort fell for it, and Bill hit it home, pow!
He said "bush people"
Is Norm being political when noting Lorne but factual when pointing out that if Jim is not creating SNL he is doing similarly for Letterman?
Fake News, WAAAY early
27:00 someone in this universe found Pat to be very feminine
That Saturday night live guy doesn't know Jack about politics .
Norm is a 👑 King
Yeah, sorry to hear him praising Barry Soetoro like that.
24:05 27:35
I haven't had a hamburger sandwich in a while!!
That Jim Downey character seems terribly sexist.
They trolled us by being unfunny for an hour.
