That quick Oh Calcutta final answer and Regis' reaction... I remember watching that on TV and the whole family went nuts. The man acted like a dummy but was a total genius. RIP King.
“Kato Kaelin was a minor witness for the prosecution in the 1995 O. J. Simpson murder case. In 1994, he was staying in a guest house on Simpson's Rockingham estate and was present at the compound on the night of the two murders on June 12. He witnessed some of Simpson's movements before and after the time of the murders.”. Damn Norm is deep in this OJ business.
Well, most comedians are not so clever, so I don't care what they think is "genius". And you'd have to be pretty dumb to suspect that he was "good will hunting level smart" (which is an overrated, shitty movie to be quite frank)
guess what nobody cares what you think is genius or not...and its pretty dumb to condemn a whole profession as "not so clever"...why do you even watch comedy if you think its dumb?
@@Talisman09 analytics from several sources estimate him to be in the 140's. Even at 130 he would have a higher IQ than 98% of the population. The realistic figure is the midfourties, but 140 alone would make him have a higher IQ than 99.6% of the population.
Norm is well know to be a very intelligent man. He was a modern Socrates in that department, always played the fool to win arguments or in conversations
Norm was less Socrates and more of a trolling “drunk uncle”. He definitely downplayed his intelligence but he was far from a genius (comedy notwithstanding)
That was a rollercoaster. Loved how he busted the show's 50-50 lifeline BS. In the UK original version it also seems way more often than a random 1/3 chance.
I think every time Norm said it’s for the kids he was kinda sayin to Regis, dont be an asshole it’s for charity. He ratfucked him on the last one, he new Norm was right & the producer probably yelled in his ear to ask him if he’s sure, like convince Norm he’s gonna blow it. Norm put all his tendencies aside to make sure those kids didn’t lose 500K, even tho he was right for the Mil. A Saint on earth & greatest standup ever. Tho the more I learn about him, the more I don’t care for him
The only problem with Norm on this is, he’s such a great poker player and getting reads off people, he was trying to do that to Regis the whole time, thinking Regis knew the answer but he didn’t know Norm had a read on Regis every time he’d say an answer and Regis would automatically ask “final answer?” he was always right on those… but Regis not knowing the answer and being scared Norm would get it wrong is why Norm just took the $500,000
Yeah, I feel a bit sorry for Regis. His concern was spot on: essentially, please don't gamble 500k on a 1 in 4 chance. You'll feel horrible if it's wrong. He didn't know how confident Norm was in that answer or if it was right - and I think it was a guess on Norm's part, but an educated one that happened to be right.
Regis might not have been given the answers, but he could well have known the answers to at least some of the questions, especially after hosting the show for so long. Which is what Norm was reading sometimes.
I've never liked how Regis kind of manipulated things on the million dollar question. But Norm was a super-smart guy who figured out that playing dumb was a winning strategy.
Norm had a degree in pure mathematics, graduated early, read a shitload of books and russian literature especially, but played the dumb guy all his life
I was a bit surprised Music was his weakness. He’s into a lot of old school country guys, but I figured he would’ve known more about the artists they listed
One of the funniest stories I heard: Norm was in Vegas with someone, they were in the elevator and a few profs, who were there for a conferences, were talkin about very advanced abstract math. Norm jumped into the conversation and was right on their level, the entire time, and even helped them with a definition. After they got off, he turned back to his companion, and said "Holy shit, those guys were nerds, huh?"
My mom even called me the day Norm passed because she knew it would affect me a ton and guessed I wouldn't learn about it until way later since she knew I was out and about working all day and night on a production. Man, that day hurt, but Norm stays with us and especially because of you guys with classic channels like these.
norm is the all time GOAT of exposing hollywood....was, i guess. damn shame. So much respect....he was mad intelligent. playing every show, despite the Magic of the werid....like a child..... brilliant, time and time again on air.
The fastest finger is what normally that’s how you get to play. This was celebrity millionaire and he was the last to go but Norm wanted to do it anyway 😂 Kato Kaelin is the guy that was staying in OJ’s guest house when the unaliving of his wife happened. Knowing Norm was fired for his OJ jokes was hilarious 😂 Norm would have gotten the million if Regis wouldn’t have said anything 😭
Bro I don’t watch a lot of CZcams channels but u guys are the best, not much talking but a whole lot of laughing and that’s why I have the channel man. Keep it up u guys. Best channel on CZcams for sure, u dude’s are funny as hell man, keep it up please
They used to do "fastest finger" to see who gets to play. Problem is, it filtered out people unlikely to win it all. You had a lot of winners early on and none after they got rid of it.
Hiya sexy eyes! Love all your reactions to absolutely everything with Karl Pilkington 😂 I live just up the road from where he originally comes from in Manchester, England and just as daft! Hope your cute cat is ok? Take care and thanks for sharing the laughs…..Julie & Jimmy the cheaky cat 👩🦰🐈⬛💋xx
Sam Simon, Norm's lifeline, was co-creator of The Simpsons. That's some "only friend" Norm has! lol! I know the outcome and I'm still pulling for him on these harder questions. If he knew the Southern Cross, I thought there was enough to eliminate but he showed how much the charity meant by playing it safer. Very cool! The ending tho!! For a moment, it looked like Norm was going to jump Regis right there! Perfect Simpsons skit. Comedy legend beats up host of charity event!
@@davidleary4524 Sam Simon left the show after season 4 in 1993 and he was one of the creators along with Groening and James L Brooks. Simon was the one that created the storytelling and humour and he added many of the characters in Springfield etc.
Norm was the last of the celebrities to be on, and he had said he wanted to have a fast finger even tho he was the last one. Kato was involved with the OJ trials, OJ's live-in help. and all four of the people were guitar players for their bands/solo careers.
The Kato joke was about him living in OJ's Pool house and a witness during the murders. And we know how much Norm has made fun of OJ. Surprised it was Joan making that first blatant joke after Norm said "he's known him about 15 years" When she said "He lives in his house" But she was not having it on the View lol. He was so smart he played dumb to perfection. He literally was making a joke that he knew the Eric Clapton answer from the start, he just had to waste his lifelines pretty much. edit: I think the Sam Simon they called might have been the Simpsons producer Sam Simon.
it was celebrity edition and every game Norm kept losing the fastest finger question which was used to determine which celebrity played next. So when he was the only celebrity left and it was his turn to play, he requested to still have a fastest finger question to answer lol
If that was playing for his money he absolutely would have gone for it. But the fact that it was for children is probably the only thing that stopped him combined with the fact that he assumed Regis knew the answers lol
knowing that Norm was an addict, that shit makes me feel so bad for him.... everything from the useless lifelines, to Regis making him second guess the last question... damn that sucks....
@@travisross6162 Yes, gambling. Google "Norm Macdonald gambling problem" - there are several videos online where he talks about it, plus a bio from Grunge. It was a serious addiction but he did overcome it.
He did compete against other players and pretended to not know the answers, so he was left sitting there until he remained the only player. And then it turns out he know more answers than anybody else, and he would have won if Regis didn't talk him out of the answer he gave
I've always been convinced that Regis was getting Norm back for Norm pulling information out of him. He even said that the producers told him to stop asking Regis questions, and I think Regis wanted revenge for getting suckered.
I don’t see it being said, but when norm did this I think only one person had ever won wwtbam. So when he got to the last question supposedly Regis was to guide him from the correct answer because they didn’t want a bunch of geniuses coming onto the show and losing then have a comedian show up and win. Don’t know if it’s true but it’s a popular rumor
Norm said that he thought Regis was giving him eye signals when he was right or wrong the whole time. That's why he didn't pull the trigger on the last question. But he definitely made himself the last contestant by failing the speed round everytime. It was calculated.
This Frank fella owns a dog house for sure!
You work at the university of science?
Those knowledgeable in Broadway Musicals definitely don't own dog houses.

yooo i knew i recognized the name 😂
Deep, deep trolling by Norm by becoming friends with Kato.
He was the house boy.
The brilliance of this channel is the choices you guys make in what to watch. Also the breakdowns from laughter.
Kato Kaelin used to live in O.J. Simpson's guest house and was a witness during O.J.'s trial. He was also part of a lot of Norm's O.J jokes
Man, I wish Norm were still with us. 😢 You guys should definitely check out his book. The audiobook is amazing as well.
Norm
Narrated the audio book
It’s cool
Every comedian thats worked with Norm has said hes a genius.
Pretends to be dumb but hes Good Will Hunting smart.
Well yeah he spent his entire life playing a bit which is insane dedication lol

Rondo became so high he turned into the couch
Norm subtly calling Regis gay at 22:44, and Regis not picking up on it had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video. Fucking legend!
Norms ability to not have any ego even tho he's super smart is part of his charm❤
Also where's your partner in crime?
He greened out
Or maybe he was intelligent enough to realize that the ego would prevent someone from enjoying life.
I’m convinced that’s a rare glimpse of genuine shock and surprise from Norm when they revealed the answer.
You lads started this kind of gig, and you're still the best in my opinion.
A wise man can play the fool, but the fool can never play the wise man.

Norm had a huge gambling addiction lol kudos for walking at 500k
Norm bringing Kato is grade A trolling.
Norm looked like he wanted to choke the shit out of Regis for 2 seconds at the end! I remember this, CLASSIC TV!!!😂😂😂
Norm munching on that Nicotete gum lmao. He needed a Marb red
His friendship with Kato has to be one of the best and longest running jokes in the history of comedy.

Legend

He dropped out of high school. I don’t think he had a degree. He was however pushed up multiple grades in high school because of his intellect.
