Conan & Norm Macdonald Cook With Gordon Ramsay | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@jcpahman77]

Every time I've seen a clip of Norm AND whoever, that's what he does. He sits back quietly because he mastered timing. You don't have to have big punchlines or flamboyant setups, just sit back and wait for the right moment.

The sheer joy in Norm's face after Gordan makes the 'Ladies Cook" joke is just amazing. He's basically watching from the outside how people reacted to some of his SNL jokes.

[@yellowonesdontstop]

That millisecond at 2:19 where Norm realizes exactly what Gordon said before the audience has a chance to react is a thing of beauty. The first time I've ever seen him delightedly surprised- it's usually him catching people off guard. Gordon even used Norm's preferred term, "ladies." But I think Gordon slagging off the audience's disapproval is what earned Gordon the backslap AND handshake at the end of the segment.

[@shinjispic]

@@yellowonesdontstop Yeah, it looks like it takes a second for Norm to process that Gordon Ramsey actually had to balls to make the joke in the first place, but it's exactly Norm's type of humor and I think he probably respected Gordon for it and the response.

[@PleiadesRuby]

@@shinjispic It's totally a joke Ramsay is making because he's heard some of norm's jokes. It's so up his alley he did it for him specifically. He's too smart to have not done that

@@christiandelvalle282 it’s all in the delivery of the joke. Gordon’s just ordering these two clueless amateurs who are clearly way over their head trying to keep up with a world star chef. Of course they are gonna look like two idiots in the kitchen compared to him. So in exasperation he says why become a cook, in trying to pin his current suffering on Gordon’s choice of profession, instead of his apparent lack of skills, blaming his current predicament purely on Gordon’s passion and love for cooking that made him turn this passion into his full-time career. He comes off as someone unable to admit their faults, trying to blame a world-star chef is the reason he can’t cook. This “sore-loser” persona is absurdly funny. Furthermore he says it in a tone as if to say, “why even bother” or What’s the point of trying to get good at a certain skill (such as cooking) if it causes suffering. Obviously this is fallacious reasoning since those who have experienced life know the best things in life gained are those earned through struggle and hard-work. And of course it has to do with comedic timing. He says it almost randomly and matter-of-factly as if by he himself telling Gordon Ramsay that he had picked wrong in his career-choice will have any actual sway in Gordon’s satisfaction from choosing the path he has chosen to become a chef. As if someone with such a successful career as him will all of a sudden because of one off-hand statement will have a sudden epiphany that he’s made a mistake and will decide to quit and question the motive of his whole-life’s long and successful career. Again just absurdly ridiculous and hilarious. He’s playing the fool very well.

I love how Norm could simultaneously drive Conan into laughing fits, and drive him insane with meandering/nonconformity. He was the perfect pick to contrast with Gordon Ramsey, who's so high energy and high standards. Polar opposites.

Pay close attention to Norm at 1:27 miming to cut up the orange. I've seen this countless times, and I just noticed that he actually didn't cut it at all which makes me love him even more.
