I actually thought this was the best segment of the night. It’s quite genius. If you’re a fan of Edward Norton you know he’s an amazing actor. With that being said, I believed EVERY WORD and felt something when he spoke highly of Bruce until he said you couldn’t tell if he was acting or not because I sure couldn’t tell...that was the joke, and he did it beautifully...all subtlety. I was laughing so hard cause he had me fooled for sure!! LOVED IT!!

[@amria7879]

Edward Norton is one of the best actors. What he said about the letter is a thing Bruce Willis would do and has done similar generous acts for many other actors.

[@countys32]

Why is everyone talking about how Edward Norton has aged, of course he has aged America History X was 20 years ago, Ed is nearly 50 and looks damn good for that age.

[@miriamherrejon7472]

countys32 exactly!! Half these people sitting behind their computer is looking hella old lololol Edward looking fine for his age. :)

[@thenomad123]

-SUSPECT

[@nzr3756]

countys32 I'm agreed, but, the years have been so much less kind to many people up there, &, I suspect that the comparison to the rest of the crowd wasn't hurting him, neither.

[@danielishere734]

I think he looks good

[@MasterGaryFan]

It's true. It still looks and sounds late 30s.

[@ДмитрийГодын]

Now that is what I call an intelligent joke.

[@leonh619]

with NO punchline...

[@maxx.mazzeo]

I'd give Norton an award just for this, he is truly a master actor

[@rgwak]

Ed Norton is a good story-teller.

[@dualshock3462]

A roast is not for good storytelling, it's for jokes. This is not a wedding or funeral, fuck Edward Norton, he ruined the show

[@citfosila]

and um

[@xilo3012]

Its a great actor but this a roast man!

[@opaldeadventureersubscribe7825]

@@dualshock3462 chill out it was less then 2 minutes lol did he make you cry? Is that why you're pissed

[@dualshock3462]

@@opaldeadventureersubscribe7825 You are so dumb you probably don't even realize it's less than 2 minutes because it was edited, his boring speech was over 10 minutes. You really believe they would invite Norton only to let him talk for 2 minutes? You are such an idiot

[@JayKayEllEmm]

Ed Norton is my idol. If I were to make a movie, I’d give him the position of anything he wants since he basically edited, wrote, directed, and produced American History X and that movie was amazing.

[@jfelt6643]

he literally did none of those things.

[@JayKayEllEmm]

jfelt6643 On document, no. But he did lock the editors out of the editing room so that he could make the movie he wanted it to be without any interference. The director gave directing credit to Norton because he didn’t want to be reminded of that miserable experience.

[@Ben-cx4ig]

Everyone saying he isn't funny didnt see his whole set. This is just his sappy ending. The funny part was at the beginning and was pretty funny. Worth a watch.

[@susie7336]

I’ve been a fan of Edward Norton since American History X. He’s a true actor. Love him.

[@daddyjesus5892]

@andrew kruck With pleasure.

[@HTRism]

ok,boomer.

[@1ZosoLZ]

Lol that’s the only movie I know he’s in

[@kathicardow]

I definitely agree! The first time I saw it I hated it because it was so difficult to watch. Then I watched it one more time and I thought it was one of the most powerful movies I’ve ever seen. He is an amazing actor and I think he’s extremely underrated

[@snowdjagha]

That was actually very original. Good one, Edward!

[@nimmmaina7479]

This whole show feels like a retired people home roast

[@kingbradley6000]

this is your fault jew

[@GrizzlyNightman]

Ha nice

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Then, why keep watching the clips of it?

[@dongray6834]

“””Primal Fear””” that look on the face of of Richard Gere at the end of that flic is classic! “Ah c’mon Marty” Edward Norton is deranged and l love it!

[@ijdiaz1]

His whole segment was actually funny. And it was a good length

[@adm8995]

Yeah it was easily the best of the lot.

[@chrisharris8346]

That was surprisingly well executed. Well done Ed 👏

[@ggaccentc]

Edward Norton is a legend! So many great movies!

[@kh7688]

Norton is one of the most talented actors of his generation.

[@heythereimbriceida9290]

Y’all don’t understand how much I love his voice 😭

[@CristianNicolae]

They should bring back comedians like Carr, Jeselnik, McFarlane, Silverman or Davidson. Or someone like Gervais. You can't make a roast with only one comedian.

[@justintee1932]

Cristian Nicolae there's at least 3 comedians up there tho. Idk who the black dude is

[@terriesmith8219]

Cristian Nicolae~Our current society would feel offended should REAL old school comedians do the roast. Almost everybody is offended by everything nowdays.

[@nebulousisgod]

You should shut the fuck up. Hollywood doesn’t owe you shit

[@jimbertido7762]

Cristian Nicolae Lampanelli.

[@BoardwalkAuto]

They should bring back Greg Giraldo what ever happened to that guy

[@ryanh311]

They should retitle this "roast" to "the gathering of people who know Bruce Willis doing things like talking and sitting on a stage, plus Jeff Ross"

[@bschuler6216]

R H and Nikki Glaser.

[@ryanh311]

B schuler let's not lose ourselves to details

[@bschuler6216]

steve b No, Stevie B (What is that the new slang for douchebag?). It's actually because this roast sucked donkey steves. Jeff Ross was treading water. Nikki Glaser picked up the slack. Auteur, Eddie Norton, couldn't comprehend what a roast is, and everybody else straight sucked. Kinda like you.

[@ryanh311]

steve b something terrible is going to happen to you on august 8th.

[@nzr3756]

R H aptly put

[@arthurcurry2003]

Ed brought some freshness to this Roast scene. Well done.

[@eleanorsvenson2958]

We need more of this. Just kindness and genuine appreciation

[@dualshock3462]

Fuck you, you PC society SJW snowflakes have ruined everything. Of course we need kindness and genuine appreciation but not in shows like this. Do you know what a roast is? It's like asking for kindness at pro wrestling, porn or South Park. Bruce should ask Norton to speak at his funeral or wedding and it would be wonderful but not in a show like this. It was at the wrong show, too long for a roast and it was boring, nobody has recovered since. Fuck Norton and fuck this oversensitive society.

[@Easy_Urban_Rider]

Edward Norton is one of those actors whom I will miss when he'll be gone

[@noisepuppet]

Bruce Willis is one of those guys who's surprisingly serious about the craft

[@MissGio12]

since he begins his speech with "joking aside" ai'm assuming this wasn't his whole roast.

[@libelldrian173]

It's the first time I see Edward Norton being old...

[@ShredShady]

Might wanna take a look at his latest interview. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4qwpWehl6-doJI

[@chris-dd6uq]

He looks like a young actor with old makeup on.

[@aaronimpactnz]

When I watch this I can't help but to think of Norton's performance in The People vs Larry Flynt

[@esparzacartoons2050]

You can tell he's not a cheerful guy, but thats kind of what makes this scene work.

[@carolewatson-mckoy8689]

Awww love you Edward Norton. I loved you in American History X. You're a great actor. Please please come back. Xxx

[@AkashSingh-xx6eo]

that's straight up from birdman .

[@kenrdz3992]

I wish Comedy Central wouldn't have killed Greg Giraldo

[@Renogade]

I liked his full roast, it had a nice story to it

[@nathanrspain]

Edward Norton needs an OSCAR!

[@MrHEC381991]

Jesus, that sounded more like a funeral speech o_O

[@jerseyguy6688]

MrHEC381991 cause he's a really good actor. And u can't tell the difference

[@Automationrehab]

I love at 01:22 how only the actors are clapping, and the comdien(ne)s and Martha don't really get it as quickly.

[@SplashAttackTCG]

This was so sweet and you can't even hate on it. I have to admit that I was waiting for the punch line the whole time, but it never came. Well, it didn't but it was weak it didn't even count as well.

[@uwaaa111]

That was really nice. good speach

[@kellod3985]

Dom’s set was the best that night. I loved how he dug into Norton about his horrible roast.

[@jamsters6430]

i love this.. its psychological kind of joke.. it will stick in your mind even after the joke... jejejehehe

[@sv2296]

One of the coolest roasts in the history of roasts

[@laybabenedict]

1:15 he's starting primal fear vibes

[@Mika-pv4bw]

Beautiful. A man of his word, that moves my soul.

[@jessiebarnes4671]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ed Norton!!!

[@Alezey574]

Haven't seen a comedy central roast for a while

[@victimless1638]

Genius!!!!

[@vishsri]

Ed - real class act 🎉

[@ADekuKid]

I really like that he wasn't all slapstick and punchline heavy at the end there. That's not his thing and he knows. Rock what you got.

[@baconnotcripy1416]

that was nice

[@spiritanimal8836]

This man is a genius.

[@tylerjaynes822]

After hearing this makes me appreciate Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom more! They're both in it, and they're great :)

[@dinamik7]

So fucking smart act!! Unique!!! Really briliant from Norton!!!

[@snarckysnarcky]

the movie he is talking about is "Motherless Brooklyn" in case anyone wants to check it out.

[@gnlilu6972]

I don’t care what anybody says. Edward Norton, Amazing and Epic! 😍🎭

[@johnnypolo1983]

This was funnier in the context of the rest of Norton’s set, when he was talking about how his meticulous method acting fails in comparison to Bruce’s “let’s blow this mother fucker up!” style of acting.

[@wesleycamilo7173]

É o melhor de todos os tempo na ficção científica.

[@farfromtheusual156]

Bruce Willis is the best

[@armandomacias8403]

brilliant man

[@KallMeKris2]

His was creative. And good.

[@falcon010216]

one legend to another.

[@riveraharper8166]

It was smart, personal and amazing.

[@ShintreePavilion]

Man, I love those two...

[@johnsreactions6658]

The funniest part about this was that he was doing a play!

[@KingBishop]

I think Edward Norton should join the DCEU. Being that they are on a role with good movies that have great storytelling. And Edward Norton is a great storyteller.

[@dattatreymaity3196]

i knew norton is not going to say anything that guy is too damn good and serious

[@brianmowday7509]

It doesnt matter whose in the room with Edward Norton, he'd still be the best actor in the room.

[@ShermanSitter]

I kept thinking during this heartfelt speech. Holy crap, Edward Norton is a South Park Character in real life. (watch it again and think about that)

[@gotawar2757]

Wow always blown away by Edwa4d Nortons performances

[@nikkibeacth]

Edward Norton in Primal Fear deserves an Oscar.

[@michaelwilson9972]

He was in a movie with Robert di Nero , a good one.

[@sossbauce1852]

Motherless Brooklyn was a great movie aswell

[@lesLeski]

Edward , that was the best!

[@Life-fw1bu]

The best roast

[@DallasAndTheWvlf]

What a class act

[@TheScottevans]

Fucking love e.norton

[@fleshreap]

Edward Norton rules.

[@lifeasin1]

Anyone else notice how Nikki looked at Norton in the end? Like he was damn piece of beef on a skewer at a Brazilian steakhouse lol

[@DemoDownTG23]

Wonderful humor

[@ns2110theonly]

Look, Ed is not a comedian, (although he’s a fine looking dude & a great serious Thesp) so of course this is not going to be the funniest part of the roast. I just need to watch this because ....Moonlighting reunion!!! #davidandmaddieforever

[@Durrdalus]

Where does the "not being comedian" bit come in? There's an entire writing room that wrote all the jokes for them. That is why roasts have sucked for so long.

[@ns2110theonly]

WKD whoah, calm down. Just a trivial opinion. Not a political keyboard war calm down.

[@BarstoolBlues33]

He was probably the best one.

[@liamrands3364]

I thought it was really good, a call back to some of the old roasts they did with Dean Martin and Don Rickles, where in the end they actually said something sentimental and nice to the person being roasted, rather than people just being crude

[@ns2110theonly]

charley15z I love the guy and I agree he was good; just not laugh out loud comedian-good, more serious-good. But I’m not critiquing him it was just a stray observation.

[@KuKalaKuKu]

#next level #classic Norton

[@bradyf6020]

Sometimes the best roasts are the slowest ones.

[@palahboy]

Watch the full roast..he was indeed funny.

[@randalltrantham5082]

X was awesome

[@KevinInciongMedia]

best liar / actor ever

[@wyliecoyote7822]

Norton's looking more like Jimmy Stewart every year!

[@Dim4323]

He never roast he like he giving a speech about his life

[@-pestilence4490]

Bruuuuce!!!

[@axelbridal3868]

Pure comedy

[@artyperez9531]

amazing

[@leon6kennedy]

Is Ed Joseph's father ?? Or related to him in any way

[@Chinaski1]

Joseph is his lesbian sister

[@TheDouglasBarbosaShow]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@girabyt3]

Eddy Norton... the lost avenger... And by lost I mean gone by dust even before Thanos snapped his fingers. And Mark Ruffalo survived after that even lol

[@carlossdb2]

My favorite part of this roast 😂

[@TheNormanmurk]

Ed, yours was the best

[@mattjessika]

I f@#$!& love Ed Norton...

[@rr5319]

That wasn't bad.you work with what you have . #period

[@elcapitanreyes6101]

I Am Jack's Raging Bile Duct

[@sridhare1534]

this is called a classic.....

[@midget_spinner8449]

That was actually a great joke

[@LeNoir679]

For people complaining, I just want to bring up that Bruce Willis isn't as easy or obvious to make fun of as other past roasts like Flava or Trump since he's actually done tons of good work.

[@phillophotographer7366]

"Beautiful experience"... people fuckin' died on the set of "Motherless Brooklyn"

[@HeyYaKnow]

Nikki Glaser in the background enjoying the shit outta this story lmaooooo

[@alimenasria9743]

Everyone is talking about how bad this is Well he was with most of the greatest actors in Hollywood Yet he nailed it and he made them believe that he was serious And he nails his roast That was original
