Andy's sense of "out there" humor every bit as ... well, out-there as Norm's. His 10 seconds of that 1 minute as perfect as Norm's - timing AND delivery-wise.
Norm lovingly mocking the talk show format is one of the best things he ever did. God bless conan for providing him the perfect platform and letting norm drive however he wanted
Most people on this channel are likely too young to know but that was a perfect mimic of Johnny Carson coming out of the curtain with all of his mannerisms displayed until Norm starts talking.
every new clip that I see from him is a gem for me now. even the brief moments (as all the moments are btw) between the jokes or him walking in, that we can find in unedited videos like these are really making me happy. god I miss you norm...
Could have said it better. I’ve watched at least a half hour of norm a day for the last 5 years - heartbreaking we can’t see anything new but these people finding new clips are so appreciated
my favourite thing about norm that too often goes unnoticed is his purposely fucking up pronunciations of words. He was a well read man and knew how to say those things correctly but it added to the bit.
He was actually quite a bit more than just well read. We both went to high school in the Ottawa area and graduated high school the same year. But he was 4 years younger than me :(
Amazing, also surprised that gypsies have the same reputation in North America as in the UK never heard them mentioned in movies much apart from the old woman gypsy curse trope
I love that he deliberately did oldtimey talk for Conan, knowing that is his absolute favorite. He's the one who got Mr. Burns doing that so much. This man really is a fish in water on a talk show, he loves it and he loves Conan.
3 years into his Cancer diagnosis... With no one having a clue. He kept it to himself. And tho he probably had trying times when he was alone, he was always full of smiles, laughs, and unique comedy when in public. I've become such a huge fan of Norm Macdonald since he passed from this earth. Like a painter who becomes world known after their death.
That's one of the very few shows that I watched from the very beginning, and it was great. It even had the Kyle Mooney interview bits which never get old.
Norm taught me how to be an optimist. Though I still fear death (like he did) I now look for the silver lining. I can't wait to get oldtimers disease so I can see Norm's bits for the first time again on the TEE-v.
I wonder if by then TEE-v will still be a thing. I'm merely in my fourties, but talking to kids these days about how my childhood looks like feels like being at least in my sixties, if I compare it to the stories from older folks back when I was a kid. It's all moving so damn fast, and getting faster by the year. Might be that Oldtimer's won't even be a problem any more, because we will all get external harddrives attached.
"Bluestocking, any of a group of ladies who in mid-18th-century England held “conversations” to which they invited men of letters and members of the aristocracy with literary interests. The word has come to be applied derisively to a woman who affects literary or learned interests" Actually such a brutal roast, gotta love Norm.
I love how when he first came out for the monologue part he seemed to embody the mannerisms of Johnny Carson. In fact I think the band played a bit of the Johnny Carson intro music if I heard that right.
Just as I was about to say "I can't believe Conan missed the opportunity to have Norm switch seats with him and act like a talk show host", he goes and does it lol
Love that Norm used the term bluestocking. Was a term literary women took on as a badge of honor and there are still bookstores in major cities that go by the name but it is comically archaic which is what he does so well.
If I was in the audience and was lucky enough to see Norm....and then one of my comic heros Fred Willard it would be a day I'd cherish for my lifetime.
Even though Norm is gone, the gift of his comedy and spirit in these clips makes you feel that he is immortal and we are so blessed to have him immortal in our lifetimes
Hey bro, I saw this clip for the first time, for someone who is not in US and introduced to norm 6 years back. I subscribed to your channel for more. Good job bro
Can you imagine if he really did take over instead of James corden? Wouldve saved us a world of pain
I apologise on behalf of the UK for James Corden
@@SmegulonPrime also from the uk and I’m right with u haha
James corden did nothing wrong
@@acousticboy9029 he was born
@@acousticboy9029 he managed to utterly RUIN not only the show but his own reputation
At this point he was 3 years into his cancer diagnosis. He’s an amazing human being. Big balls and guts.
Now now the cancer never reached the fella's gut and balls..
@@coffeepot3123 Oh, a joke. Not a funny one but it still qualifies.
And I can see it.
thats one of the reason why he didn't gave shit
big bowels
I love when Norm says "edge of town" and looks at Andy like that means something and Andy just says "sure". I can't get any of these moments
Andy's sense of "out there" humor every bit as ... well, out-there as Norm's. His 10 seconds of that 1 minute as perfect as Norm's - timing AND delivery-wise.
Because Old Andy Richter the Swedish-German knows all too well what happens at the edge of town
Andy’s “sure” always gets a chuckle out of me.
Me! Mah mahm.
He doesn't go for any of that funny business neither.
Fred hustling across the studio to get to the seat will always make me laugh
great comic actors understand timing
that took a few years off his lifespan.
@@chinaman1 Incorrect.
"Oh, no...we were dirty gypsies!" 🤣🤣🤣
Norm was the guest that Conan seemed to genuinely enjoy the most
Conan confirmed it.
Andy, though? Not so much.
@@dizzy_derps Admittedly the Swedish-German bit was a bit much
@@epictetus9221 a bits a bit
@@dizzy_derps listen to Conan needs a friend, where they talk about Norm. Andy liked him.
Fred Willard (1933-2020). RIP.
Norm MacDonald (1959-2021). RIP.
They just don't build'em like that anymore.
Fred Willard is such an awesome sport. One of the greatest comedic actors of all time.
sure
This next one’s a little sad so it’s alright to cry.
Yes but he had that failed penis extension.
Fred Willard is a sport? Can I gamble on it?
hes not a sport hes a comic actor
Norm lovingly mocking the talk show format is one of the best things he ever did. God bless conan for providing him the perfect platform and letting norm drive however he wanted
He was a "fish in water" on the talk show
@@congoose100 "sure"
You're a platform
Yes, Conan and David Letterman loved him and always gave him free reign on their shows.
Considering that Ferguson essentially mocked the format for his entire run, it's appropriate.
Most people on this channel are likely too young to know but that was a perfect mimic of Johnny Carson coming out of the curtain with all of his mannerisms displayed until Norm starts talking.
That’s fantastic. He always found ways to amuse himself, a great lesson for all of us.
That is too cool. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for explaining that that’s awesome
Thanks for the reference..I wonder how many such bits he used to do for his own amusement that have gone completely unnoticed by us
Tell the folks at home who Johnny Carson is.
Who else says to their host, "No, you're not an idiot. You just act like one on TV."
Well it's true.
Amazing timing to pull off the Fred Willard,”Sure.”
Gives me a laugh every time.
Just the one word “sure” made me burst out laughing 😂
Words cannot even begin to describe the joy of discovering a new Norm Macdonald clip that you haven't seen before. Thank you for this
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ absolutely friend

@@aussieandyman I wish I could post more but some copyright holders block the content.
@@aussieandyman The Old Chunk of Coal left us a posthumous comedy special. He was thinking about us to the very end…
We love Norm
He is by far the most beloved comic of all time
my favourite thing about norm that too often goes unnoticed is his purposely fucking up pronunciations of words. He was a well read man and knew how to say those things correctly but it added to the bit.
he played the fool
@@Ep1cRainbow and he did that better than anyone.
It was the xanax
He was actually quite a bit more than just well read. We both went to high school in the Ottawa area and graduated high school the same year. But he was 4 years younger than me :(
@@knarf4083 it takes an incredibly smart person to act a fool to the level that he did. im really not surprised he graduated so young
Norm's delight at saying gypsy is as palpable as it is infectious
When asked by Conan if the was anything wrong with the roof, the was he replies "oh no" was seeing his boyish charm in 2 simple words. Truly a legend.
Amazing, also surprised that gypsies have the same reputation in North America as in the UK never heard them mentioned in movies much apart from the old woman gypsy curse trope
He was proud of his heritage; both sides. That's a good son.
@@SmegulonPrime Everybody knows the stereotype.

I am SO sad I wasn’t into Norm’s content before. I am now watching all the clips and documentaries.
Norm is unique, and absolutely genius
I love the hat-tip to Carson as Norm uses Johnny’s mannerisms when he steps out to applause for the monologue.
Carson & Dangerfield were some of his biggest inspirations
Love Carson Daly and his grind hearts.
He just starts talking and it's already funny af, no effort, just Norm
He was a great host of the Sports Show, and he’ll continue to make millions laugh with these gems on CZcams
He was a real jerk
That's one of the very few shows that I watched from the very beginning, and it was great. It even had the Kyle Mooney interview bits which never get old.
That 1 second clip absolutely impaled me, how spoiled are we? RIP Norm
My favorite part is the short clip. Makes me laugh every time. 🤣
Sure.
In a perfect world, Norm would have been the host of a network late night show. I know he would have hated it, but it would have been amazing.
Norm live was way better than ALL late night talk shows
It would have been amazing until it got canceled after three weeks.
He had Sports Show but got cannned
@@calvinjluther But we would have those 3 weeks of shows recorded forever!
He kind of had one but went after OJ.
Norm taught me how to be an optimist. Though I still fear death (like he did) I now look for the silver lining. I can't wait to get oldtimers disease so I can see Norm's bits for the first time again on the TEE-v.

The gipsy bit was simply hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
God bless Conan o'brien for always looking out for Norm MacDonald!!!
i lost it when he said he's been studying it like a full blown jesuit. i was in tears
The most unforgettable, action-packed, 1 minute in late-night talk show history.
I thought I’ve seen everything and every appearance Norm has done but I missed this one then it was just everything!! So great.
Norm has a bit for everything Conan has to ask him. It's absolutely amazing to watch.
Almost like it’s scripted tv!
Conan, Norm the Scottish-gypsy, and Andy the Swedish-German. My favorite trio! (:
"Bluestocking, any of a group of ladies who in mid-18th-century England held “conversations” to which they invited men of letters and members of the aristocracy with literary interests. The word has come to be applied derisively to a woman who affects literary or learned interests"
Actually such a brutal roast, gotta love Norm.
Seeing Fred and Norm next to each other was to much they are both such one of a kind comedians that can’t be replaced
"Sure" lol
A real meeting of the mind
I love how when he first came out for the monologue part he seemed to embody the mannerisms of Johnny Carson. In fact I think the band played a bit of the Johnny Carson intro music if I heard that right.
Norm was a hurricane of fun, laughter, and impeccable wit that passed in our lifetimes in the blink of an eye. Trully, one of a kind.
I am a huge norm fan and yet have never seen this clip. It made me so happy!
Fred Willard and Norm are now dead. The world is crumbling. We are losing everything that makes us want to live.
Conan is still alive?
Can't believe they gypped Gypsy Jack like that!
That beautiful man was so jovial this night - I’ve never seen this one!
I'll never stop watching Norm
Finally found the gypsy-bit, one of my favourite Norm-bits.
Wherever you are. I love you Norm.
8:00 Not easy to realize how tall they all are: Conan (6'3¾", 192 cm), Andy (6'1", 185 cm), Fred (6'1½", 187 cm), Norm (6'2", 188 cm).
Excellent.
I did not know that.
Like the Monty Python skit about the archaeologists competing for height!
I had NO idea Andy was so tall. I guess being around Conan makes anyone look short!
Norm was tall, but his hands are small in comparison
Just as I was about to say "I can't believe Conan missed the opportunity to have Norm switch seats with him and act like a talk show host", he goes and does it lol
Love that Norm used the term bluestocking. Was a term literary women took on as a badge of honor and there are still bookstores in major cities that go by the name but it is comically archaic which is what he does so well.
When Andy said “sure”, I lost it.
That "Thank you" at the end feels genuine
I don’t think Norm even knew how funny he was. One of a kind for sure. RIP buddy.
Oh, he definitely knew.
He was always trying to make *himself* laugh before anyone else.
RIP Norm. The real hero here is Fred. Legend.
That last “thank you” is priceless
Norm, come back!
Thank you for posting.
Man. 1 min. of Norm = the last 10 seasons of SNL ..
Rest in peace Norm and Fred
We miss you more than you know, Norm.
God, I miss Norm so fucking much
If I was in the audience and was lucky enough to see Norm....and then one of my comic heros Fred Willard it would be a day I'd cherish for my lifetime.
Nobody worked better with Norm than Conan.
literally everything that comes out of his mouth is funny
Oh NO!
Greatest guest E V E R with one of the greatest hosts
Why does my name lay umentioned like your potatoes au - gratin.......always a new treat love ya buddy
Norm interviewing a guest would have been the greatest thing to watch.
If you haven't yet, search for "archive norm macdonald live" and/or watch "Norm Macdonald Has a Show" on Netflix
@@HeraldJohnson Yes! Some excellent interviews on that show mainly because Norm is an intellectual giant masquerading as a dumb ass.
Even though Norm is gone, the gift of his comedy and spirit in these clips makes you feel that he is immortal and we are so blessed to have him immortal in our lifetimes
Damn Fred & Norm. RIP to two of my favorites.
For some reason this makes me love Fred Willard so much more and he didn't even do anything.
Didn't do anything? He hustled his ass across the stage!
& he brought a clip
We miss him so much.
Holy shit that clip was hilarious. Norm you were a talent!
Miss you.
His name should've been in it. We miss you. rest in peace
This is RAD - RIP Norm the gypsy maniac he was. RIP Fred - amazing talents. We need some serious top shelf comics to fill these shoes.
I always feel bad how he got no respect because of his gypsy faith
Andrew Schulz and Mark Normand
A true comic genius
I cannot stop laughing. I am crying. That Gypsy bit was hilarious.
Sounds like a solid dude, what a shame that the world no longer enjoys his grace.
This is a great clip, made even better by Fred Willard's appearance.
Thanks for posting 😃
Hey bro, I saw this clip for the first time, for someone who is not in US and introduced to norm 6 years back. I subscribed to your channel for more. Good job bro
My sides hurt from laughing so hard at this!! A gem of a post...but it reminds of how much I miss Nor my on the late night TV circuit.
Better to have loved and lost or summat, I dunno, I'm just riffin here...
@@HeraldJohnson Are you quizzling? Sorry, don't know what that word means 😂
@@sameerzade4319 I've never been called a quisling...
Norm should’ve been a talk show host. We would’ve had hundreds more hours of epic Norm material.
This was great, a true gem - one I've never seen the full video of.
The banter back and forth is comic genius
Genius beyond words!
That was the greatest 1 minute of television I’ve ever seen
Best minute in late night show history.
He was a legend while he was still here. He always will be one of the best comedians ever. Among many other legends.
Best late night guest ever.
What a clip. Made me cry...
Greatest 60-second audition ever.😂
When Fred was on Norms podcast I couldn’t stop laughing, they were both so amazing and funny! 🥹
We really need to see more of this Norm guy
Decades of late night talk shows summarized in one minute.
I don’t know what I just watched.
I can’t believe anyone still watches late-night talk shows. Norm would have been the only one I’d make an exception for.
Pure gold!! Dang it I spit out my beer 3 times laughing so hard.
these guys are histerical... best people ever
Fred, the other truly missed comedy legend
Fred was a fantastic guest on norm’s podcast
Havent watched this silliness before. hahaha. Norm on Conan is ....chef's kiss!
currently stuck, as many of you have been yourselves, in a Norm Macdonald you-tube loop... and I don't mind being here at all!
A Minute With Norm should have been a regular segment
“I’ve been studying it like a Jesuit!” Norm!
This touched my heart.
- "and was there something wrong with the roof?"
-" oh..no"
Norm would have killed it as a talk show host
