Thumbs up if you stopped watching late-night tv because of the stupid politics
Scott McClure McClure its unwatchable now
All of them
I've stopped watching anything political if its biased.
Scott McClure McClure Colbert and Seth Myers are the worst. Their monologues are absolutely saturated with Trump. Unbearable.
Y’all are just mad late night TV gets so much material by having this madman as a prez. Filling their pockets like DRUMPF is!
This is literally the only time I have ever seen Norm serious.
He answered his phone on live tv! Serious!
Watch his Larry King interview, also very good and serious
I think it’s because it’s his sister in law. And it’s not like a “view” or late night show. It’s genuine news so he treats it as such
You've obviously never seen him under the Queensboro Bridge.
@@nmaurok The Larry King interview was so vulnerable. If he never would’ve admitted his stage fright cure most people wouldn’t have known. The vocal effect and occasional accounts people give of his poor stand up sets are the only giveaways. It’s really amazing how sharp he is on camera
Only Norm would take a phone call on a live interview and say “I’m on the tv”
"The" tv. He never just said, "on tv."
@@jennifergersch9126 yeah, that's what they said. On the TV
Now he's on the computer
@@TxWIll and for some people, ironically, he circled right back to being on the phone
Wish he would have said "hi Donald"
“You can’t play someone and have contempt for them. It doesn’t work as an impression.” Smart man, Norm was.
It's incredibly true- I'm surprised not more people are mentioning this line - instead theyre all talking abt the parody self-parody thing.
this is why the only trump impression I find funny is shane gillis - because he’s just pointing out how absurb he is and not trying to make some mean political point in the process
Why not? It’s mockery then. Mockery’s funny.
@@TheJayson8899 It might be mockery yea- but not necessarily a good impression. I think most people emulate things they like
Comedians love Trump cause he's a good comedian but, a lot also dont like him as a president
Trevor Noah doesn't use Trump as a crutch. It's more like a fully sustainable electric wheelchair with a 100-year-long battery.
👍👍😂😂😂
I watched about...5 minutes of Trevor's stand up...I wanted to throw up and punch him in the face..he's such a douchebag
That's for people who need more of a crutch. Logic flawed
Hold on... Trevor Noah’s like... a comedian? Gtfo. #notethesarcasm
How did Trevor get on CZcams rewind?
Norm is really a student of comedy, like Seinfeld. He'd rather get no laugh with a good joke than a cheap laugh with a bad one.
A comedians comedian.
@Miles Doyle butt stuff
@Michelangelo yawn
Sienfield is terrible
@Miles Doyle That wall of text is even more boring than Jerry Seinfeld
The fact he answered the phone anyway just made me love him more. Dude lives freely without caring for other people's opinions or judgment. That's the power 99% of us lack of.
And knowing Norm's humour, I kinda feel like the 2 phone calls were a setup. He loves to test & throw curve balls at interviewers, I can totally see him pre-arranging that with a buddy, just to see how they'd react 😂
I’d say more 70-75% of us lack. Since you think 99% of us lack that, it shows you lack that!
Just to point out that he ignored it the first time, but his sister-in-law said, "As long as you don't answer it." So what does Norm do when it rings a second time?
that's right. absolutely true dude
@@murakawa-san2279 I think it'd be accurate to say you lack self-awareness, most who claim to not care have that quality. If you truly didn't care you wouldn't be commenting telling people you don't care.
Conan O'Brien also didn't go down the cheap road of Trump bashing...
Conan and Norm are students of the art of comedy. They don't go for cheap laughs just for the sake of ratings. They devote themselves to furthering the art form. That's what made them -- and indeed, still makes them -- so great.
Except that one time where Conan made a fool
Of himself claiming Haiti was a beautiful country just because Trump
Claimed otherwise
Utter stupidity - it’s a shithole
Conan posted pics of a beautiful resort claiming Haiti was a beautiful & safe place after president trump called Haiti a shithole country. Conan still suffered from TDS
Nah he did. He definitely did.
@@jackf1557 But it was definitely done with the necessary amount of class. Not like the bit of Seth Meyer at the beginning of this video. That was awful. It also wouldn't be wise to say that any person making fun of Trump falls into the same category of Trump-bashing or inventing a category like TDS and putting every comedian in it. That way we just fall into the trap of not daring to make fun of the man in power. There is clearly some reasonable spectrum of clever comedy that makes fun of Trump - even harshly.
@@bartelgrant You also stuffer from TDS it seems..
"Nothing looks dumber than if you parody self-parody. You really get caught not understanding." That's a brilliant observation. Norm is greatness.
Trey parker and Matt stone said same thing on why they won't do a trump joke they said he's doing it himself there's nothing we can add
@@iyot1020 I mean did you not get mr garrison IS trump? They did plenty of trump jokes lmao
@@Rowsy91 yeah but that was it for like a couple of EP but they didnt went the path of colbert or samantha bee
Kind if an obvious get.
doesn't it take humility to parody yourself? if so, Norm's wrong either with 'no humility' or 'self-parody'.
Trevor Noah is a perfect example of someone who uses trump as a crutch
I have no idea how out of all the possible candidates that assclown got Jon Stewart's old job... Horribly bad.
His unfunny ass show is his crutch...
I don’t even get why people think that show or Trevor Noah is funny. It must be a retarded liberal thing. Like seriously every show trying their best to make fun of the president is all they’ve got. That’s literally it. For two years straight. The liberals need to get over it, but they won’t.
ry4nx Get back in your trailer.
McDonald is a washed up loser
I remember watching this after Norm died. The amount of comments I saw saying disgusting shlt like "reap what you sow" & worst of all "Hope it was painful" Truly sickening gloating when this comedy great passed away
Never heard any of that, and will pretend that it doesn't exist. Norm was an exceptional human. To quote Larry the Cable Guy: "I don't care who you are, that there's funny"
Norm would be laughing down at em. That man never truly gave a damn what people thought of him, but also knew we thought the world of him.
Where did you see that? And Norm wouldn’t care anyway.
@@Highkingofgondordoesn’t matter whether or not he’d care, it’s still disgusting.
@@BeskarDevil it matters, boobsky.
Bit late on this: This reminds me of Team America: World Police. Parker and Stone both were asked why the film had no Bush jokes, and their response was "If you want a Bush joke, go outside and walk five feet. You'll find it. Everyone's doing it, it's just not that funny."
Hating the current president is always the fodder for bad comedians. And when that becomes the routine of bad comedians, they can only hope the next president will be as hated as the current one, or they've got no material to make money off.
They drag down comedy as an art form just to pander to that lowest common denominator and make that easy money. They're no different than every woman on OnlyFans.
Facts
This is the most candid I've ever seen Norm. Smart dude.
The wit had to come from somewhere
Most comedians are highly intelligent.
@@alphabeets Yeah, but most aren't as deep as Norm.
he almost won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, i think he was on the last question and didn't commit to it because he wasn't 100% sure he knew the answer and would lose a bunch of money for the charity he was there for if he lost. Turns out his guess was right anyways.
Nah, whiny, uptight, boring Norm. He got old and shitty, taking swipes at demographics he wasn't part of and sounding like an intolerant old fart.
"Nobody wanted to have a beer with Hillary Clinton"
😂🤣😂
Hillary doesnt drink beer, she drinks blood.
No shit. You ever see her pour one? it was like 80% head, and not the type Bill likes either.
@Benito Thundertwat and he has no pets... weird
@Benito Thundertwat yours sounds like gay porn
Trump doesn't even drink..what a pussy
That love you at the end is genuine.
I love you Norm. You made my life better. Rest in peace.
These observations are sublime. This is one of the best retorts to the anti-Trump madness that served to make our discourse, thinking, and humor far more damaged than Trump could ever accomplish of his own accord. Norm McDonald was an independent mind and is sorely missed.
Well said.
It's not madness to dislike Trump. He's a terrible person.
@@morganm4768 Anti-Trump madness is very different from disliking Trump, which of course Norm McDonald may have disliked as well. Think through the entire premise.
@@morganm4768 Good thing hes not ur mom
Agreed. I'm not exactly a huge fan of Trump myself, but every time I hear comedians using him for material just to get a big round of applause I immediately lose total respect for them. Comedy should be about pushing boundaries, and "orange man bad" is just the lowest of low hanging fruit ever.
Full disclosure: "He's my brother-in-law." LOL. Best opening to an interview.
@@HowardLeaderman en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Napier
I thought norm was gonna say that about Trump at first lol
Joyce Napier is married to Neil MacDonald, Norm's brother.
@@tkdbrother1977 Also a journalist in Canada, good stock.
Small world in Canada
I went to a comedy club near my house in Burbank CA. During the stand up act the comedians mostly bashed Trump on everything. I noticed that the crowd was mostly clapping and cheering but almost no one was laughing. It was a political rally and not a comedy show.
Hella shita
I went to two Roger Waters The Wall shows years back. Best concerts I’ve ever been to. This was during the Obama administration. Went to his next show, Dark Side of the Moon album, mostly, another great album. Turned it into an anti-Trump show, and my dad and I couldn’t have been more disappointed. Probably won’t go to another Roger Waters show again.
Blackplastic I used to live a short walk from flappers. Good times
Norm references this in his book. He mentions a woman referring to it as "claptor" (more clapping than laughter).
That's hilarious!!!
Especially since Trump's political rallies are just comedy shows...
Norm finally got to do his joke from The View.
It literally took a family member to interview Norm for him to be serious in public. Lol
I’m fully convinced that this man is a genius
Yeah who's for Yang. It is cool
He was by all accounts a actual smart guy maybe genius, I know he has a degree or two but no he tended to play the idiot or more of a common man because that the best spot for a comedian. Be the smart comedian and you risk alienating part of the crowd, by playing the loveable idiot oaf he was able to reach a far wider crowd. And he did this without giving in and being a dumb comedian which shows he was a master of his craft and smart as hell.
There are some comedians that are smart as shit and play the idiot oaf but rather then using smarts to craft jokes that are a blend of smart and dumb that have layers for everyone to enjoy they go for the easy pickings and just become a dumb comedian (doesn't mean they are bad comedians some are quite good but they could've been better)
That's because you are the complete opposite of a genius
@@navjitbassi03 do you own a dog house?
@@Karynthian yeah but i keep it deeply hidden in my closet
The most disappointing one is Stephen Colbert. I always loved that guy back in the day. Grew up watching him on Stangers With Candy and The Daily Show. He was really funny then. But he’s pretty much unbearable to watch nowadays. Thought he was a little more of a smart/subtle thinker than that.
He was funny when he played a right wing blowhard but not so much as a left wing blowhard in real life. Even on the Colbert Report they didn't rely on Bush as a crutch they way they do with Trump now.
@@thekidfromiowa Yes. Jon Stewart gave his 2 cents about W. Bush but he was never full-on buffoon like Colbert is about Trump. And let's be honest, W. Bush could had blow up the entire world if he wanted to, Trump is just an old uncle that made Kim Jong-un
smile.
I felt the same way with Jon Oliver
Agreed. I loved him when he poked fun at Bush, but with Trump it seems so contrived and desperate, like he's being ordered by his handlers to constantly attack... He's making a pathetic caricature of himself.
You guys are fuckin snowflakes...
Bit surprising though. Your idol is the most "stable genius" to ever fall from the sky.
On a snowy day. I'm calling him a snowflake.
I have only just recently discovered Norms comedy. Man I wish I found his stuff before he passed, truly a one of a kind comedian. Such a unique style. I’m glad these videos exist to keep him alive in a sense
Better late than never.
You can see it in his face, he wants to make jokes so badly but he cant do it as much, and he has to give diplomatic answers. Even then his genius still shows
Yes he definitely has a glint in his eyes and you basically can see his brain rattling off the odd joke but then he keeps it together. Still dropped that "non story" about meeting Trump and how no one wants to drink a beer with Hillary though. I wouldn't put it past him to set up that phone call either as a very harmless stunt.
*most UNDERRATED and LEAST UNDERSTOOD comic in the industry.*
Intelligent
Is he though? Norm is s fucking legend!
@@RCGshakenbake Many people lump Norm in with the other washes up unfunny SNL cast members. But some of the greatest comedians look up to Norm. So Norm is like that Drama movie that audiences don't like, but the critics who really pay attention and study the art of film love it.
Not mainstream necessarily but definitely not underrated. There’s a ton of videos of all the greatest comics praising.
Bullshit! They feel sorry for him because he struggles to be a comedian but can't make it without people making excuses for him. He latched on to Trump to get support from Trump's base and that's the extent of his ersatz success since otherwise tanking after SNL. He was never funny, he was snarky, arrogant, and he along with his fans claim he's brilliant but most people don't get him - kind of like Trump.
SNL has sucked for yearsssssssssssssssssss
Amen!
Yeah even before Trump it was terrible.
Not in the last couple of years.
Not good since at least five years ago
I quit watching when Norm left
On top of being one of Norm's realest interviews, this is also a perfect example of how great Canadian television can be. We had cable until around 2014 I think, and the hosts on CTV, CBC and CityTV were all so great. Real, genuine people making authentic content. No multimillionaire plastic talking heads like CNN and Fox, and no agenda in every piece.
Have you watched CBC since 2016?
@@KissellMissile Not really. I'm guessing it's gone downhill?
@@dariosmagata8481 dude you have no idea, downhill is an understatement. (I’m not Canadian & I have no idea what I’m talking about)
Well you could still tell the woman on this show did not like Donald Trump but was trying to contain it best she could
@@jamesnoble3502damn bro that’s a lot of assumptions. I think she was pretty poised. Said trump isn’t humble but that’s all I can think of and is pretty obvious
Ladies and gentlemen the late great Norm MacDonald speaks truth.
"Nothing looks dumber than when you parody self-parody" Norm says it best.
It's like when snopes fact checks the Babylon Bee or The Onion
Yeah, that's a god-tier comedic observation.
@@the23rdhour reminds me of when Anthony Cumia was unjustly fired from his own show over "racist tweets" & as a joke, he took a funny picture, posing with thumbs up with his black friend to parody the people that immediately start virtue signalling & posing in photos with black people cause they desperately want to prove they aren't racist.
The irony was totally lost on all the humorless, self-righteous virtue signalling assholes, which made them even more hateable cause they actually took the bait & used it to virtue signal exactly like he said they would. It was embarrassing.
Trump then became the parody full time
@dayoldnews8869 Amazing. Not only did the comment go right over your head, but the entire video. You sir, are exactly who Norm was talking about here. Bravo!
When his Dad died, found dead on the floor beside his bed, people told Norm “well, he’s in a better place”. Norm thought about it a minute and said, “he’s on the floor! Pretty sure he was in a better place in the bed, lying on that Temperpidic pillow I just bought him”.
I totally read that in Norm's dry voice, lol.
well, ya know, Norm’s famous, but comedy doesn’t really pay that well. Don’t hold it against Norm for buying a knock off.
That's an old line
Norm was a genius. Without a doubt.
“If you do an impression of someone, you have to like that person, yeah know, because your playing the person and people like themselves. You can’t play someone and have contempt for them at the same time.” -Norm Made me think.
That's assuming everybody likes themselves, which isn't always the case.
I think that's why Shane Gillis' impression is the best out there. Clearly likes the guy, and thus nails it.
I don’t like myself.
This and the bit about how you can't parody self parody is great insight.
I love how he told her “I love you” at the end and she says it back. Ppl who don’t catch that they’re related will be rolling.
Also, he knows he's dying.
@@schristensen456 didn’t think of that. 😢
@@schristensen456 First thing that came to mind ..
But she literally said hes her brother in law at the beginning of the interview. It's hard to not catch that
@@schristensen456 And she does as his family did but he tended to say it more the years he knew. I feel many do that
Norm's one Trump joke is funnier than every late night talk show host's bevy of Trump jokes.
TetrisClock it’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard
what is it?
soth1 sol start at the 9:15 mark
He's got... Wait for it... GUTS? EH..... Berserk...
Devan McClaine what are you even talking about? Lmao
Thanks for being with us Norm
Great comment ❤
He's the master, he knows what's funny and what's not and that's the reason he was funny his entire life.
This has got to be the first interview where I’ve seen Norm being possibly his true self... great to see, he’s such a good bloke.
Guess it's hard to goof around when you're talking to your sister-in-law about serious political matters :-P you can watch Conan to see Norm take forever (and I think not succeeding by the end lol) to tell that story about Trump. Very different mood. RIP Norm
u Aussie ?
Interesting because this is the first time I've seen him antsy and looking uncomfortable. He keeps looking away from the camera too.
@@bernlin2000 It's also a Canadian broadcaster so I think he's weary of being disrespectful/punching down.
@@dixonhill1108 "weary" means tired. Perhaps you mean "wary?"
By the way, everything he says is fair, neither pro conservative nor anti liberal. Maybe he's hard for some people to stomach because he doesn't regurgitate what they want to hear. I wish more public figures had his guts.
Martin Hall he’s neither pro liberal or conservative because he doesn’t actually know anything. He’s a brilliant comic, but his politics are just uninformed.
His political views are a private matter. Norm focuses on comedy and he obviously thinks the current political climate is comedy poison. Besides, why would he want to alienate any part of his audience?
@@jodi85 I think he is pretty informed just like anyone else. We all have access to hundreds of different news outlets. Maybe he just chooses to not get his daily political news from Trevor Noah or late night shows.
Wow. "Stomach", "Regurgitate" and "Guts" all in one comment! You have must either been hungry when you wrote this or have digestive issues! Which is it?
@@jodi85 He says he is giving his opinion from a comedic point of view. Many people like to make it political because they need to know if they should like him or not. Nothing here should be taken as his political opinion. Which seems to be the reason he was asked
What an intelligent thoughtful man with great insight. Sorely missed.
what a gem of a man
"No one wants to go for a beer with Hilary Clinton." I lol'd
Well one beer leads to Vince Foster.
I like this joke.. "If Trump died of cancer, nobody would care"- Anthony Jeselnik.
MastersMasterson It’s more a statement on her lack of likability - saying that people don’t vote for people they don’t like.
By all accounts, she smells like a nursing home.
...and not a clean nursing home.
Black Swan Rider did you? Dumbfuck
Jimmy Kimmel must be the king of low hanging fruit.
What ever happened to the guy that brought us The Man Show. Which Hollywooder arranged for Jimmy's nuts to be cut off?
They have dirt on these guys. They need to do what they're told, or the handlers will have them #metoo'd.
Yeah hes a dingleberry
Fallon sucks
Well he did have the Orangutan n chief on his show.
Turns out he didn’t collude with Russia
Norm's face when she's announcing him is fucking amazing. He's trying so hard to not laugh.
RIP Norm! You were a rarity in Hollywood!
I cant believe he passed away. I had to look it up to verify this. This is such a great interview with him, his observations about comedy are spot on.
Really? Didn't know he was sick!
Fuck, I almost forgot about it :(
I quit late night tv hosts. They became narrow minded, rude and not even funny anymore. They even make me feel down after listening to how mean they are, so I quit them - problem cured.
lisa I agree. Those shows now make me bored and tired to the point where I will switch to another channel within less than a minute or else I will start to doze off.
lisa they’re just a projection of today’s society. Everything you said about hosts can be said how people act today. Everyone is grandstanding , and feeling good about accusing other people of something .
DamnDirtyApe that sounds like reeaal entertainment!
Well, I got a lovely bunch-a-bananas with your name written on them so . . . 😉 😘
Even Jimmy Fallon jumped on the train. Conan, Colbert, Kimmel, there’s none left.
This Norm is not just a great comedian, but he is a super nice and intelligent human being.
I’ll always treasure this interview. So touching the way he says, “I love you” at the end.
The man speaks truth in a wonderfully subtle way. Down to earth viewpoints. More of this please.
He was one of the smartest people around, period. And the fact he could make the best comedians around laugh in awe, not to mention his fans, testifies to his genius. What a loss...will miss him a lot.
I miss Trump too. I understand completely. Lets hope that in 2024 we can have him back.
@@stangkiller1789 bruh

He’s definitely more witty than anyone I’ve seen. He’s always got something to retort with.
Excellent analysis, great insights. RIP Norm
I am so glad I stumbled upon this interview! I got choked up at the end. I truly miss this man.
Norm was on SNL back when it was worth watching.
keith hakanson eh tbf its never been worth watching
Early to mid 90s
SNL has never been worth watching, going all the way back to its 1975 debut. If you wanted real comedy, comedy that was innovative, thoughtful. well-acted and finely well-written, then you watched SCTV. Not for nothing, but Norm McDonald is a perfect example of an alleged comedian. In other words, perfect for SNL!
Hee Haw was better too.
keith hakanson e
Man, he's such a smart comic.
You must have the IQ of a brick.
Hanky, somebody here is brick and it's not Bruce.
For someone who is paid to entertain, he is the slowest, most boring dribbler I've ever heard. He's saying very simple and obvious things that he could've said in 30 seconds. And it wasn't even funny or entertaining in another way. These comments just look like a circle jerk of pickle-rickers thinking they're watching someone clever.
I'm only surprised he wasn't more succesful...
(Sarcasm)
Him and Dennis Miller. Both made 'fake news' report at SNL.
That show went so far to the left, they may actually remove any reminders of them as they are considered 'mortal enemies'?
SNL - 'paper communists', ha, ha, ha : -)).
What a fantastic & insightful conversation
LOVED this. No clue how it made it onto my feed (tons of trash comes up via YT’s algo).
RIP Norm! You were one of a kind. ❤️ 🍻
And thank you to the sister in law who made this interview happen. ✌️
"Nobody wanted to have a beer with Hillary Clinton."
Well, having a beer with Trump isn't possible since he doesn't even drink alcohol.
have a beer i would not piss on her if she were on fire
I wouldn't want to have a beer with anyone, I prefer whiskey/whisky. But I still wouldn't want to have have a single malt Scotch with Hillary, or Bill either for that matter.
killery would have them killed
I’ve come to realize that Norm is my favorite comedian. He’s kind of sneaky like that.
Just because he's the only one who agrees with you on politics? I don't give a shit about who is in the White House they are all out to fuck us right in the ass and Norm McDonald was funny in his heyday but there are funnier comedians.
Sam He never actually said why exactly he liked him, only that his pattern of enjoying him over the years is a clear indication that he does.
ditto
Norm is probably one of the smartest and quickest comedians alive. He is tied with bill burr for me.
Sam Agreed. There was a time when I didn’t think he was funny but looking back now I was just to young to get is dry, poignant comedic wit. Still lol at his Dog skit on who’s afraid of a wiennie dog and the forgotten doberman. 😂
Norm was the most patient comedian ever, he will work on a long joke, takes the time to get the story out just for that punch line. He was a genius!
Norm and Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld are all great because you can tell they’re upset they’re basically forced to defend Trump just because of how ludicrous the other side has become, but they’re dedicated to the art of comedy and common sense
Yeah all the stuff he does isnt ludicrous though, right? Anything that isnt a mental patient can see that he is not smart, not a good person and has no clue what hes doing.
Philly H I mean moreso people freaking out about non-PC jokes and comedians getting lazy in their echo chamber, but
You don't think they just like Trump and are tired of being held captive by the Hollywood liberals that they just don't need to suck up to anymore.
tropicAces
Burr is the greatest. As good as comedy gets imo.
tropicAces they're not forced to defend trump. Trump is a sleazy real estate con man. Why does he need defense when he's been so mean and offensive?
"I hate Trump" is not a worldview. Bingo.
Or a political platform. Which is what the Democrats didn't understand.
Its A worldview its just a myopic foolish one
No, it’s not a world view- but who cares?!
I don’t give a flying fluck about a comedian’s “world view”,
A comedian is free to use Trump’s almost daily actions as comedy.
I may want to hear LESS of it, but that’s all.
I do know I watched a recent Norm MacDonald thing and was pretty meh about it,
This is just about a comedian who leans Conservative not wanting to hear do much Trump humor.
Douglas Linder Wrong. Trump is anti Marxist and pro Western. That might have roots in Christianity but its not a prerequisite.
Kurt Kish thats right, we dont care about a comedians point of view.....until you have 3 networks whose comedians start looking like agitprop.
I was hoping when Norm's phone rang he would have said, "Hang on it's Donald Trump"
What a wonderful man, comedy was his soul. Miss you Norm.
Why is Seth Meyers still on the air? Honestly? Is he supposed to be funny?
m7e he is funny to braindead liberals
People hate talent. Meyers has no talent. Hence, he stays.
I same thing about SNL. Do people really think that's funny?
Because he's a Jew.
Seth is only popular cause he attacks Trump relentlessly. His only fanbase is with hardcore dems.
"You don't have a worldview by just saying you don't like Trump."
Truer words were never spoken.
yea except no one is saying you do have a worldview by saying you don't like trump, so it's just pointless drivel
Trumps only political platform was "Hillary bad" so,
Mark Stolzoff not even close
"You dont have a political position just by saying you love trump." Which is why his administration is failing.
Yes he was forgetting The Wall
Now this is my kind of news, not fake people shouting & spreading hate just relatable people talking about a topic civilly & speaking their mind.
This is a gem
“I love you Joyce” omg such a beautiful human being…….watch his tribute to Letterman on his final appearance…..”I love you” in tears….I wish I had met you Norm……what a lost treasure……sob…
I did meet Norm. He was just as nice and funny in person as on stage. Very nice. Very friendly.
Well Joyce is his sister in law.
Probably he realized it may be the last time they talk.@@johnnypottseed
Norm was great!
This Joyce interviewer is very adorable. Also Norm is as adorable as always
I think she is his sister in law as well
@@ad8554 you think? She says it at the beginning of the interview!
@@axmortz she says he is the brother in law, but we don't know if she is the sister in law. Only time will tell. Good day raymond

I'd like to think Trump saying "of course" to taking a photo together with Norm and then walkiing into an elevator was a sign of Trump's sense of humor
RIP Norm. You were as smart as you were hilarious. I still love watching videos of Norm here on CZcams. The man was a genius.
Norm has been telling the truth and being funny simultaneously for decades. Good to see that's not gonna change..
A. PINOCHET I agree Augusto!🚁🚁🚁

😢😥😰
Seth Meyers is really cringeworthy and hard to watch in my opinion. How he got his own late night show is crazy considering the actual talent pool of really great comics runs deep. You would think that there is someone who is WAY better than him they could have got.
BigDH28 He was always terrible on SNL
I actually really liked Seth. He is very cerebral and not for everyone. But he, like the rest of late night, switched from comedy to hate, and that is as unfunny as it gets.
Seth who?
Oh, yeah, I remember now. Is he still on the air? I wouldnt know. I stopped watching late nite "comedy". Early to bed, early to rise now!
BigDH28 Being a good comedian doesn't automatically translate into being a good talk show host
The only time I liked him is when he and Amy Poehler did the news segment on SNL. He's just awful now...but still better than the clowns they have doing it now.
The family connection here is so sweet❤️. Really nice interview dynamic
Know what's funny? 2023. People still won't let go of trump Russia....while the guy gets politically persecuted for being the projected winner.
"Ripping on Trump has become a ratings Bonanza."
Sure it has. That is why their ratings a dropping. My God, Comedy Central isn't even funny. It's predictable and their jokes are backed up by lefty political BS.
When The Weather Channel and The Golf Channel have better ratings... Poor South Park.
exexpat11 And when Nickelodeon has better ratings than CNN. I think it was Nickelodeon, I’m not sure. Correct me if I’m wrong.
You're cherry picking a common occurrence to fit your narrative. Ratings for 90% of TV are dropping all the time due to the amount of media choices people have now. Fact is, if someone in the latenight pack wasn't picking on Trump, their ratings would be even further behind. See Jimmy Fallon's ratings drop while he didn't focus on Trump until recently, for proof.

What ever let's you sleep at night.
jeff jones Wow must have struck nerve.
Lol 😋
I am glad I did.
Seth Myers is the proof anybody can host a talk show. Read the jokes (written by the writers), briefly talk to sidekick or band leader ( prepared in advance), ask guests pre-determined and agreed on questions making believe they are spontaneous, say we'll be right back numerous times, deliver your best phony laugh numerous times, say goodnight.
His show sucks so bad I would literally rather watch paint dry dude makes me sick to my stomach no joke.
If you think anyone can do it, find a clip of Chevy Chase hosting his own talk show. Lasted a week or two, IIRC.
@@DrStrange1966 Also….Magic Johnson….yikes.
Seth Myers is the bland standard of late-night TV. Nothing original about him. Nothing interesting. Just, meh. Fine. Harmless. Meh.
@@JustChadC Seth Meyers is terrible he's the worst of the worst I'd say they all suck though late night liberal propagandists.
He did the phone ringing bit to his own brothers wife lmao
He never did collude with Russia. Anyone believing that is a fool.
You are correct but, it's actually much worse than that. "Colluding" with Russia for the purposes of winning an election for POTUS is LEGAL. So, even if he did "collude" with Russia, like Hillary did, it's LEGAL. The whole charade was a trick played on the world.
Someone claimed Norm colluded with Russia?
I am Italian and we don't have a great stand-up culture, so for a long time I could not get this man humor. After a while I started to understand that he is a truly comedy genius; just listen to what he says in this interview about comedy, imitating self parody, bad comedians taking advantage of this Trump situation as opposed to good comedians that want to avoid the subject, etc. Man, Norm McDonald knows a lot about his own field, more than I would have expected.
I can't even imagine an Italian stand up comedian
@@noobfromhell563 I can, a 40 year old man complaining about bringing women home (really his moms house) when his mother is sleeping in the next room
@@atlebakke that could be funny
@@noobfromhell563 I guess, but they would all do the same jokes! Over 50% of Italian 35 year olds still live with their moms🤷♂️
@@atlebakke thats why they yell so much :/
The part when Norm answered his phone and made Joyce laugh was adorable.
Norm was unique comic talent who is greatly missed. RIP.
Also, at the end of the interview, he tells her that he loves her. And you know he meant it.
Because when he was on the view they thought him answering a phone call mid-interview was a hilarious joke. Which since he's actually funny knew it wasn't.
I miss Norm so much, he was truly under appreciated while he was here. I always thought he was funny but the hardest I ever truly laughed was him at the Bob Saget roast, and no one in the audience was laughing.
Apparently one of the last true great comedians... Not afraid to call out lesser comedians for their lazy, heavy-handed BS "comedy" that's only enjoyed by people who don't like comedy.
Cheap anti-Trump jokes are just as bad as Jon Stewart's cheap kiss-ass Obama "jokes;" they're just pandering without any relevance to facts.
"How dumb is Trump, right?" is just as bad as "How great is Obama, right?""
Particularly since Obama sucks, and Trump rules!
I can’t wait for his Netflix show
JR Thomas you dont know norm, you dont know comedy.
JR Thomas what do you mean? a comedian is just a comedian. hes been in many things including SNL and he has his own show the norm macdonald show. hes one of the greatest comedians of all time and a lot of his stuff goes right over a lot of peoples heads.
norm is the wrong guy to comment on this as he is simply not very funny. he was not funny on snl and the ratings started dropping during weekend update. his t.v. show (the norm show) was not funny and was cancelled for low ratings. a second chance at a t.v. show (a minute with stan hooper) was cancelled after only 6 episodes. his movie (dirty work) bombed and his second starring role in a movie (screwed) did even worse. so now he's doing a podcast talking politics and making fun of more successful entertainers? just like the unfunny dennis miller. oh well im sure its a nice paycheck.
5:32 You can hear Norm laughing off camera, he's right NO ONE would want to have a beer with Hillary.
glem chally Lol. Who wants to have a beer with a politician like Hillary or Trump. Corrupt liars. All of them. Anyone doesn’t think so is being conned
@@paranoid5687 I think you're a little paranoid bud.
@@WCKeel,
The hypocrisy is the worse part.
@@paranoid5687 I would have a beer with Trump. He's a funny entertaining guy, and he's not a real politician, so his level of lying is different to that of Hillary's. Idk, that's my take on it. I would also have a beer with Obama even though I think he was a horrible president and I don't like his politics. And I would definitely have a beer with Bill Clinton, now that's a fun guy, and we would have fun taking jabs at Hillary 😂
Bill was at home and said, Heck yeah.
Love his observation about questioning the legitimacy of our elections, and how the media handled that so differently pre and post 2016 election…
Trump lost in 2020. Get over it.

Biden was installed. Kinda like a toilet.
End of quote. Repeat the line.

Trump was on Epstein's island. Nice projection bud.
@@gb032645 Democrats when trump wins: THERE WAS RUSSIAN COLLUSION!! AHGHGHGH
Democrats when trump loses: That WAS THE MOST SAAFE ELECTION IN HISTORY!!!! QUESTIONING AN ELECTION IS TREASON!!!
Life is short. I miss your humor Norm, I hope to see you in the next life Sir! I appreciate the years of laughs!
Jimmy Fallon got ‘in trouble’ for liking Donald Trump! Unreal.
IS nt that the craziest thing youve heard? the Guy actually had to go on TV and apologize for "Humanizing" POTUS Trump! WTF is this country coming to? We come off of 8 years with a POTUS who did soooo many wrong and questionable things and no one says a word about them but now that we have a guy who may not be as "Presidential" or "Main stream" as a POTUS maybe should be, but he is getting this country back on track and not worrying on the little things like being PC... and all these turds can do is find fault with him! And its all because they are mad that Hillary lost and the DNC has been exposed as the farce is it!
When?
When a comic needs quick, cheap material they go after religious or political topics.
Religious and political topics are the best for humor - what are you talking about? What do you recommend? Joking about the best pet shampoos?
@@christophschwarzherz5909 yes jim gaffigan made hot pockets funny
@Charles - seriously you are really dumb. Alpha is right, only weak comics regularly rely on religion and politics for their material
@@SignalCorps1 you must be the life of the party - am I right? No? Ok, let's hear your joke without religion or politics and it's not fair if anyone under 10 years old laughs, Mr Rogers...
Eric Starnes yea cause George Carlin wasn’t funny right?
Anyone else think it was super sweet when he told his sister-in-law he loved her? Miss this guy so much already.
Swear to God, my radicalization meter fills up just a little bit more every time I come across older videos referencing Russiagate. It’s like Ted Kennedy promising the Hart-Cellar Act wouldn't change American demographics
Snl has run the show into the ground using trump as a crutch.
Plus they ditched Darrell Hammond for Alec Baldwin
just because spite... Hammond was a better Trump impersonator but he did not hated him, so it didn't matter to SNL.
SNL is only for democrats now. 🙄
Trevor Noah, Seth Myers, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel....all hacks....scratch that, all unfunny hacks.
JEWISH hacks!
I used to love kimmel on the man show. I dont know why he sold his soul to the lefties.
what is your solution to the jewish question?
Kimmel and Colbert are good interviewers and are generally enjoyable when they're not doing political stuff. Meyers doesn't seem like much of a personality, but he's a good writer (co-creator of Documentary Now, one of the best shows I've ever seen). The only thing I know about Noah is that he sucks (although I've been told that his stand-up is good). The idiot thinks women soccer players should get payed as much as the men, completely disregarding very basic economics.
slappy mcbutterballs still have tv shows and you don’t, boom roasted
What a great human being--we were lucky to have him!!
Surreal to see Norm act and talk like a normal human being instead of being the caricature he would put on to entertain.
Norm is extremely thoughtful and I appreciate that he's a free thinker.
Norm is The only comic genius left
Check out the Legion of Skanks!
Edward Leffler
There is Dave Chappelle and Stephen Colbert.
.....Well there’s Dave Chappelle.
HellRay and there both crazy
Colbert was never much of a comedian. Chapelle is definitely up there with Norm. Louie is consistently very funny, and Bill Burr has some funny moments too.
Check out Doug Stanhope.
Why was this one of the best political commentaries I’ve seen ever
gotta say that Gillis' trump bits in Austin was some of the best comedy ever. Also Trump 2024!
Norm MacDonald is just so UNDER RATED !!! Also very cerebral and right on target here. I was LMAO when he took the phone call, and even more when he signs off "I love you" which is just hilarious. Thanks VERY FAKE NEWS !!!
Dr Bruce Norm MacDonald is an awesome comedian. I love his work. He's Pigeon in Mike Tyson Mysteries
He’s got such a smug like comedy, the man is hilarious!
jamada d from memory people who know him say that he doesn't abuse drugs or alcohol.
His problem I think was gambling.
He is not underrated. He is just not that profitable.
Also, other comedians see stand up as a step on their carreer, not norm. He likes the art form.
I think he is where he wants to be.
Dr Bruce the lady who interviewed him is his sister in law so it makes the "I love you" a little more relevant haha
Seth Myers isn't a comic, he is a suit with a body in it
Absolutely, he's SO DULL.
Glad somebody brought up Seth. I haven't watched a single episode but every now and then I get his show in recommended and every time it's Trump this or that. Just so bland, he has nothing on real comedians.
F*ckin Seth A$$face Meyer$.
Pure dweeb material
