The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you’re not careful it’s too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.
-Norm Macdonald
BINGO!!
Ohhh, I don't win? I don't get to stay up past my deathtime?
Was he talking about time? Age?
Then one day you finally understand it but it’s too late. Now you’re just some old thing that nobody wants to fuck.
Sage words of wisdom indeed.
Brilliant
The metamorphosis of Norm being an unknown comic to becoming Daves favorite guest and colleague Is beautiful to watch.
It wasn't just because he was funny it was because was a genuine person and Letterman so how most of the guests were so desperate for Fame and norm could care less! He just wanted to make people laugh
Or not didn't matter
he just loved stand up
He also had a nice doghouse.
@@BirdOfHermes8381 Could you explain the doghouse meme?
@@MacroAggressor lemme ask you a question Macro, do you own a doghouse?
@@catastrophis I don't, but I also really like penis.
During the snow storm, Dave had Norm on standby in case any guest bailed. What an honor to be Dave’s go-to guy!
WoW if that's true it only shows letterman truely enjoyed talking to norm
@@LightS_bRight Norm grew up with the dream of being on Letterman. Like that was his childhood dream. Imagine how good it must have felt for Norm knowing that his idol respects and likes him as much as he does. He lived an amazing life. RIP Norm.
this was done so that Norm could serve as a just in case fill in and so that he could get a paycheck. mainly done for the paycheck. they knew he could use a paycheck
@@EternalResonance yeah Norm probably needed it for his trip to Atlantic city 😆
@@EternalResonance very kind of them I'm sure, cos they got his brilliant comedic talent. So win win
You can tell Dave loved Norm immediately
The Part 1 of this is interesting... No interview just stand up - though that was the norm for up and comers. A few shows you can see Dave in the dark listening - I think that's when it happened.
@burteriksson i always though Letterman was better with Norm than Conan was. But i do like how differently they handle Norm
"All night Yahtzee!"
@@John_on_the_mountain it's a generational thing
@@John_on_the_mountain Letterman’s relationship was more from a mentor angle while Conan was more of a peer.
I like to think he is out there still, unable to make it to us because of the snow storm… I certainly wish he was here. Great memories of understated brilliance leading to surprise laughter; what a talent and gift:)…
Definitely one-of-a-kind, a 'philosopher comic'.
@@randallwinters7387 He must not own a doghouse, then.
An absolute GEM
It makes you realize there’s something wrong with this world.
@@pattysherwood7091
We don’t need Norm MacDonald for that.
Let’s all just acknowledge, GOD DAM HE WAS A HANDSOME MAN
45 pounds ago
Yes! He was the funniest man in the world, but he was also a BABE.
@@aguy1340 He still had his face with dimples and incredible smile. I'm just not that shallow to care about his chub. He had acute leukemia and that drops weight really fast so I think it was the steroids that helped build his appetite to gain weight.
OH MY GOD YES.
@@aguy1340 Last time he went to see his doctor, the doc said "open your mouth and say oink"... little outta line if you ask me.
Sorry, I just cracked up for 5 minutes because Norm was telling his taking a homeless guy to dinner routine, got sidetracked on to something totally different and then brings it back 360 to finish his homeless guy's story, and Dave simply kills it, and Norm just slides along with it.
To leave your ego at the door like that . .. beautiful.
I wanted to hear the homeless guy joke 😂
And now we will never know the ending :(
@@rustusandroid He told the same story on Conan till the very end
You should be sorry!
In the old days yeah, later appearences he didn't stop Norm as easily haha. You can tell why Norm respected Dave so much, coming from his first appearence sfrom part 1
“That’s the whole story”
What a great story he was. Thanks Norm
✊🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lovely sentiment, LogoSeven, truly.
@Jeremy Gray Andy Richter, the Swedish German?
The long and short of it all, and everything in between. Thanks LogoSeven, for condensing what really cannot be condensed, regarding the Late Great Norm Macdonald 1959-2021, but. But Dave helped we Norm devotees, realize just what a gem Norm was, and I'm paraphrasing:
"God he made me laugh. Norm was the best of the best."
- David Letterman
@@jackwarren1687❤
When Norm Macdonald laughs he seems like a fan just watching and enjoying the show - even though he is a guest. He just loved Dave.
MrBenthie And Dave obviously adores Norm.
@@WilliamViets its very mutual but I do think theres a bit more Dave watching and laughing at Norm.
I love the look that Norm gives when he tells a stupid joke and Dave one-ups him. Such love.
That's why he loved letterman
Both are at same intellectual level.
@@sagar1589 It came up on the Netflix show that they both sincerely think the other is smarter.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 what Netflix show is this?
@@chexnfx7161 Norm Macdonald Has A Show
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 going to have to look this up! Thanks.
Thank you to David letterman for bringing us such comedy gold as often as possible. RIP Norm, you and Dave were amazing together ❤
The best... Norm and Conan were great too.
@@sabian630 Conan said in an interview that Norm was his favorite guest of all time. He never knew what Norm would do, and his long winded shaggy dogs made Conan like a kid again. He would laugh and stumble and stutter. They were awesome together
@@mamiltonhorris4476 they really were... Letterman loved him too for sure. To have him do the lasy stand-up act on his show speaks volumes on how much he admired him. And Norm choking up says he felt the same.
So Norm MacDonald was to David Letterman what
Matt Damon is to Jimmy Kimmel
Norm on David and Conan shows was comedic gold
If Norm was the only guest on Letterman,i wouldn't complain.
Perfectly said
4:06 "Where do you get your ideas from?"
Letterman understands norm and his sense of humor so well and knows exactly how to play off him to make it even funnier such joy seeing this ❤
It's very touching watching Dave fall in love with Norm over the course of his many appearances. Also fun to watch the evolution of his name from Norm MacDonald to Norm MAC-Donald.
I don't know what video you were watching but Letterman repeatedly lied that Norm MacDonald was snowed in and couldn't make it, even though Norm was *right there*. Now I like Dave and all, but this was deliberate on Letterman's part, in my humble opinion. Then he laughed about all the times he blew him off. That doesn't sound like a guy who likes Norm.
Damn you’re right. This Letterman character seems like a real jerk
@@ronkb I agree! For this reason alone, I predict his show-biz career will not go too far.
@@Spokker this letterman guy seems like a real jerk
this was done so that Norm could serve as a just in case fill in and so that he could get a paycheck.
We studied Norm’s technique at the University of Science.
at the university of science there?
Michael do you own a doghouse?
TheTRUTH i think he’s one of them gays
@@leahdorothy He's probably gonna invite him over for a "chicken"...
@@MisterGuitarItalia I'm sure he'll invite him over, unless he kills his husband and a waiter.
When saying good bye to Norm..."We'll be right back with The Ramones" ....wow, the Golden Age of TV!
@@xdman20005, yeah Fred Slayer his accountant..talk about boring..
"this week..rob Lowe, the spice girls, and Joe pesci"
You either get Norm or you don't. I believe Norm is a top 5 of all time top 10 at the least, his stories are pure gold.
In the last clip, I noticed there's a difference in the way Norm tells the Larry Flynt story to Conan vs Letterman. I feel like with Letterman, Norm saw him as more of a mentor and therefore didn't push the boundary as much around him. Letterman also quickly remarked "ok Norm.." hinting him to stop when he started imitating Larry Flynt. Meanwhile on Conan's show, he did that impression like three times (and it was hilarious). Shows that Norm Macdonald had a deep appreciation and respect for Letterman
24:36 He stops him from finishing the homeless joke too which sucked lol
Good call
@RipperMaggoo he finished it on Conan, ironically.
"I wanna ride in a spaceship as much as the next guy..." :v LOL only Norm could turn the Hale-Bop comet and Heaven's Gate cult castration into a bit...love you Norm, RIP...
57 >>iiii>>>iioïoo>ïō8>>>i>
"The beer was playing the water" is one of the most underrated catches of all time
"what a story"
I'm a vet and the cat story cracks me up - 'it's like on ER' and 'he's like a doctor but not a real doctor' 😂 RIP Norm, you were the greatest.
My ex was a PharmD and would lament the general public's disregard or simply thier ignorance of her doctorate. She'd insist Pharmistists were, after all, the pillars of society. (Ba dum-bum, tiss!)
Thanks for you're levity, Doc!
Everyone with a pet or animal that they love needs and appreciates the hell outta you. Sincerely.
But you're not changing my Nana's pacemaker!
@@sailorjerry3720, and NANA aint gonna teach ya ta spell, either..
PHARMASTISTS?
Not to be confused with pharmacists..
hey animal vets come in many forms the Pinnacle rank is great doctor but of literally every species on Earth except human of course at this level what they know applys to humans too but there less specialized and less paperwork but most vets are dog and cat doctors
then there are the vet surgeons real surgery skill with smaller more sensitive patients harder than most human surgery
there there are vets that only know how to Fix animals all they do the same procedure/surgery
but the lowest rank possible is the pound or animal control doctors there basically executioners mainly euthanizing the animals to make more space there soul slowly degrads and it's a joke to call them a doctor when they mainly kill
5:18 Letterman really just pulled the Norm's classic "Where do you get all your material?" on that poor kid
Where do your ideas come from?

Norm : 'Everybody hated my guts !'
Dave : 'That's discouraging.'
Norm : 'and it turns out that 9-1-1 is just for people, not cats.'
In all candor and honesty, it is so hard to watch Norm and not tear up - we lost the GREATEST comedian ever! He was truly the GOAT. 😢
RIP Norm
Bit gay
@@JB-wy8fc You are? I didn’t need to know that… That’s between you and the Creator.
45:16 - The surprise from Norm is genuine; he was assured by Late Show employees that Dave wouldn't ask for the impression.
Babbage3 How do you know that? Sounds like an urban myth.
@@WilliamViets You can see Norm talk about it here: czcams.com/video/8ZClGJ917uM/video.html
This guy puts a perma-smile on me the whole vid.. I mean my cheeks were hurting (not my butt cheeks talking about my face) we sure will miss you norm.
Your comment made me laugh as much as Norm!
That’s good. Because if Norm made your butt cheeks hurt that would be …-
Well it wouldn’t really be …-
How do you do?
Do you own a doghouse?
You don't own a doghouse do you..?
It's good that you clarified that your butt cheeks are ok.
Thanks for specifying lol
is anyone gonna mention Dave’s badass pencil flip trick right at the beginning 0:14 he didn’t even look at it and caught it perfect!
He used to do that a lot back in the day. I remember trying to do it in college, never managed to master any of the pen tricks.
Oh my God. That was dope!
Oh... so that's where the Kimmel/Damon bit comes from!
You think Kimmel thought up something that funny?
Kimmel is a hack.
this sketch was written by norm , it must be true , you have read it on the internet.
Yup..kimmel is a disgrace
kkknotcool the sad part is he used to be funny. I loved him on Win Ben Stein’s Money and The Man Show. He hasn’t done anything decent since then though.
Norm was just a lovable fella. Rest in Paradise young man! You have made millions and millions happy.
I didn’t even know he was sick
And just millions as well
I always like how you could tell how much Dave liked people. When he had Norm or Chris Elliot on, it was clear he truly enjoyed it.
The first time i was ever in the audience for dave, chris elliot was the guest. Summer 2006.
Jay Thomas too.
I find his laugh and dimples so cute omg
Dave loved Norm off of the start and he wanted to push him into the limelight as much as he could.
Haven't come back to these since norm died. I still can't get over it, he pulled the ultimate norm move just disappearing like he always did. I truly loved norm, it hurt hearing the news, he was so under appreciated despite the outpouring of love the man cemented a place in comedy paralleled by very few others. I hope norm gets the last laugh and gets to tell oj that murder is in fact only legal in the state of California but still frowned upon up there.
@ho lee fuk Lee fuk is your middle name, mi dum is your last name.
Norm will not see OJ because OJ will be in hell getting raped by Satan for eternity you quisling!
The ultimate Irish goodbye. ☘️
It really did hurt. RIP Norm.
I know he was nervous and felt put on the spot but I really wish Norm had done "Uh, got any gum?!" during his Dave impression. That was the best part of that SNL sketch.
Norm’s ‘sick cat’ story kills me every time. Such a simple, silly idea but he makes it hilarious in that way only he could do.
Can't belive he's gone. What an underrated talent. RIP norm, helped me realize alot
I feel like he's accurately rated. He's adorn the world over in the highest regard. Doesn't need to be mainstream to be remembered forever.
Gutted I've only just found him BUT I'm so glad reddit have given me an archive link to ALL his podcasts...they're EPIC!!
i can believe he's gone
Rest in peace Norm, will miss you so much
Norm is the greatest to me. Evertytime Im down, he puts a huge smile on my face. I hope to one day shake his hand and thank him
Norm on Conan 08-09. Best 45 minute lift you can get on a 45 min. drive to work.

@@ameerordimly1449 im no good at technology. But if you look up Norm Conan, you'll see Norm in a blonde wig. That's the good stuff.
Im sure you can set that up as Ronaldinhio.
Master of storytelling. I see now his genius, as a deadpan master of delivery, and his ability to draw out these non-sensical stories..
57:47 I like how Dave trying to handle norm by saying "Alright norm" 😭
everyone is talking about Kimmel ripping Dave off...it's easy when you have a front row seat 4:57 LOL
Hahaha good lord its him as an old codger
sgs1313 Old chunk of coal Kimmel
Yooooooo
Hahaha
Lmfao
Norm passed away today and I cried. Love you Norm. ❤️
Jesus Christ, Norm really was shockingly hot.
A beautiful man.
That poor man has been snowed in so many times.
I like the joke he tells about the Hale-Bopp Asteroid... it's more of a comet, really.
Dave essentially asking that little Chinaman kid, "Where do you get your ideas from?" Has anyone actually ever seen Letterman and Adam Egret together?
I did, spotted them once they were retreating out from under-the Queensboro bridge........
@T D your such a lucky guy
Norm Macdonald Live and also Netflix's Norm Macdonald Has a Show.
My head almost exploded when Dave said that
Thomas, huh? Any relation to Ed the Theater?
These clips are amazing you can literally see their friendship growing over the years mutual respect and love
I guess now Norm can no longer be with us because he's stuck in the big storm in the sky :(
Norm's ability to be permanently charming and hilarious will never be replicated.
you can tell Letterman loved Norm pretty much from the start
Holy shit the snowstorm gag is hilarious, I'd never seen that.
RIP To the greatest talk show guest. EVER
Thanks so much for uploading and organizing this series, man. I really appreciate all your hard work!!!!!
Thanks!!
Damn I'm for real crying and laughing, my blood pressure has been never better! Norm is one of the best ever!
Bless you, Don. May you live to be a hundred.
may a dog in heat romance your leg in the month of december, don
@Brandon S You must be new here.
Brandon S more than you did Brandon.
@@ketongu, but enough about your family on the street.
"I dont know a lot of words" should have been my high school quote
I think I've watched all five of these Norm/Letterman vids about ten times each.
Don you are a scholar and a gentleman.
And lemme guess, ur Canadian?
@@blacksheepsquadron6189 nope,hes a oscar pistorus fan
Man he was a good looking chap. Nice eyes and trim & fit.
there is love between this guys, lovely to see them.
Anyone else was just gonna watch ten minutes and watched the whole hour?
This is where "apologies for Matt Damon" came from.
@5:53 was a funny moment Norm talked about on the Stern show years back, the fall was not part of the bit and the lady Norm fell on broke a bone and her flute was broken, apparently it was a very expensive flute. She went on to try suing both Norm and the Letterman show, I'm sure what ever came of it but yeah there's that story and it's amazing you have footage of it @Don Giller because I don't think that ever made it to air.
Got a link to the interview?
It's 2020 out there, and Norm Macdonald is still stuck in the snow blizzard.
Dave put Norm on the hot seat to do his impression of himself 😂 so damn funny 😂
I love Dave cause Dave loves Norm!
Norm would always come on with that mischievous grin on his face. I just loved him, still do!
Letterman just seems to _get_ Norm from the start; two incredibly ironic, self-deprecating guys just absolutely WASTING network time. it's wonderful stuff. thank you, Don.
This is so great I've got a huge smile on my face! I was beginning to think there was no new old footage of Norm or that it was always going to look like a dog's breakfast. Thank you Don Giller!
Rest in Peace, Fred...I'll miss ya but will often smile because of you
“I think Fred Johnson is a HMO” -the most overlooked line by Norm
That and, "How do ya do, by the way?" like 20 seconds after the anecdote about the Shriner saying he looked like a 'how do ya do?'
Good job to Dave for handling Norm, he was completely crazy back then!
did anyone want to hear the end of the bum story?
He tells it on Conan
Jose Lujan comes time to pay the bill and Norm only has like 20 bucks. He says to the guy, you’re gonna have to pony up some of the dough there buddy. Yeah just look it up, he gets to finish the story on Conan.
Why didn't dave let him finish that bit I wonder...seemed like the urine stench part was too much for Dave and he was afraid of where that story was going to go
@@hv3115 Dave was PMS on that day. He didnt want anything to do with that story.
Yea that was odd dave changed the subject on him .... he was about to finish a joke for gods sake
Letterman is too PC for a silly homeless joke ?
Norm is a giant baby that babbles brilliantly❣️
I remember watching this as a kid back in the day. RIP NORM
What an absolute treasure. God bless him I hope he's at peace.
Loved these 2 together. Dave was the one person who could ever successfully rein him in, but was always encouraging him too.
Overexplaining his mispronounciation of "self conscious" was subtle genius.
He's playing five-D chess..
0:14 anyone else spotted that pencil trick?
n10d34d damn!!
n10d34d WHAAAAT THAT WAS CRAZY LETTERMAN IS A JEDI
dave did it all the time....
It's amazing!
@T D lmao dude. Cooters
Ever notice something about Norm? He not only told the joke, and one of the funniest parts of his humor was the delivery, but he so often showed how much HE ENJOYED it when someone he was talking too, or an interviewer such as Dave, got involved and enjoyed the joke WITH HIM. So he was like the comic that wanted to enjoy the comedy WITH YOU. He told the joke WITH YOU not just TO you--he brought you in to be PART of the joke with him. That's what I think was a huge part of his appeal. We were more a part of his comedy than just observers of it. He really had a genuine love for laughing WITH you. Very unique personality and so likeable you wanted to invite him in. He made you trust him while you enjoyed him. Would've made a great used car salesman (I suspect he'd appreciate that comment.)
Thank goodness for videos like these, we can laugh and enjoy this for a long time still. Excellent job editing all this together. I'm in SEVERE PAIN I'm laughing so hard!! Awesome. 🤣😂😆
~JSV
He played five-D CHESS..
I didn't know Kimmel ripped off Letterman with this gag. Huh... well if you rye up off someone, might as well be one of the best , with the best comedian of all time.
Kimmel is a hack.
It's more of a pastiche
KIMMEL SUCKS!
@burteriksson, LARRY GIMMEL? My accountant? He sucks?
Everyone steals off of their influences.
I loved the Running Joke of Norm not being about to make it because of the snow storm
I'm upset, I've been watching Norm for so long and he was so funny. Rest In Peace Norm.
Some of these appearances on Letterman are solid gold and I'm sorry I missed them. I even remember winter 96 but I missed that whole running gag.
That cat story had me in stitches😂😂😂 Rest In Power, Norm.
Love to watch Dave and Norm! I'm not sure Dave ever laughed harder than those times with Norm. 🥰❤
Norms jokes from then have still yet not all been uncovered 25 yrs later what a comedic code talking Legend, Norm is a Gift that keeps on giving a true historical barb & bard king
I have spent all of quarantine watching norm. Very grateful for corona for having led me to this great man
Same here, his humor is refreshing and unique. In these though times he keeps me distracted
@@hashmash12 what the porn?
Grateful for corona???
Pathetic comment. Covid is a scam. Its 2021 and you believe theres a virus because you are told there is.
You are absolutely pathetic.
@@markbtelevision YOU'RE PATHETIC! My son had ass covid and it turned into Lou Gerig's Disease because he didn't wear a mask. ASS COVID, you think that shit is funny? It's serious! You need to get your vaccine before you comment, you're putting us all in danger.
i thought i have watched every norm comp but this is new ..thanx
The way Dave spoke to the late great Norm is very enduring…… like a father figure …… when hits some of those jokes he laughs with a look of being proud of him!…. It’s really sweet…… to the see the evolution is like a story book….. and its probably is the greatest finale for a story with y norm knowing that was his last time with his papa David ( since Norm lost his father decades ago) and killing it with his final standup routine and ending beautifully by saying he loves him! David was in tears watching his son doing David’s old set from the 1970s…. Word for word! …… what a tribute!!! it was from his heart and of course David who is extremely intelligent and has a huge heart …appreciated that much more then some phony tv award …… David losing Norm hit him very hard….. equivalent to losing a real son……. 🙏🏼😔….. thank you Don for these incredible Borm compilation videos! Beautifully edited and amazing quality!…. This means a lot to us fans! More then u know!….🫵🏻🏆
Norm’s poor cat. Suffered a massive heart attack due to all that cat stress. I heard that cat was up for a big promotion at work and just cracked under the pressure.
You got me with “...all that cat stress.” 😂😂😂
I didnt even know he was sick :/
Nah, his girlfriend wouldn't share her puss n'boots.
whoever put these all together is a legend!!! thanks
I dunno about “legend,” but thanks!
Norm, not only a legendary comedian but an astute political commentator...Senator of the north. lol
Paul was loving ¨I couldn´t get Red Deer¨
"buncha dirty ghosts flying around in a spaceship"
Lol perfection 👌
I think he was mid sentence saying dirty hippies, then adjusted for dead hippies
I’m 23 so I was born after these interviews aired. I was introduced to Norm after he passed away and have been binge watching all his content. It’s sad that I did not get to know his work while he was still with us but I’m grateful we had the chance to have such awesome comedian. RIP norm
Thank you Don for this collection. You've given us pure gold.
Thank you very much for doing this. :)
