[@dollarsignfrodofan77]

the closeted gay bit is my favorite bit he's ever done. RIP Norm.

[@denniskastner9185]

Same.

[@PeterRabbit70]

It's a circular logic thing, and Larry King played his side perfectly for Norm's purposes, and Larry did not even realize, at the moment, how Norm played him into doing it. God bless you,Norm, and bless God for making Norm.

larry did well playing into it, RIP to these 2 legends

[@teodelfuego]

You think that only because you do not own a doghouse

[@theohuioiesin6519]

“Hey hey easy buddy!” Indeed just to funny to be true

The murmuring of the crew getting the joke and realising Larry doesn't is the best.

"Hey hey hey easy buddy". Norm McDonald ladies and gentlemen...

[@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448]

Best line ever

[@Xloudy684]

There are certain moments here where Norm is downright genuine, like when he talks about wishing he was a nicer and more generous person.

[@znido1752]

I agree

[@bsfan6150]

When Norm said he wanted to be kinder and more generous, I immediately thought of his dear friend Bob Saget. Love you always, Bob!

[@mgast67]

I remember hearing lots of stories about Norm interacting with fans. I think he was nicer than he gave himself credit for.

[@mattm1982]

Hahaha... the deeply closeted gay bit is hilarious.

[@The_Ballo]

It went over his head

[@kylemossi]

The best jokes are the ones when people can't tell it's a joke.

[@timleonard2668]

I never thought it was that funny when he did it in other contexts... but Larrys reaction makes it hilarious.

[@theinternetexplorer7873]

My brain is still trying to comprehand the fact that both these men are dead. It's so weird.

Norm has got to be the chillest guy on the planet.

[@MadMaxM232]

His answer at 1:20 absolutely kills me. Look at his face LOL.

[@WalterLiddy]

He gives the camera a conspiratorial glance, like he's checking whether we're with him in pulling one over on Larry.

[@Sayper1]

looking at him i sometimes wonder is he on the verge of crying or bursting with laughter..

[@rowdyyeets4532]

He really does love Outlaw Country though. He was telling Texas people that 😁

In reality Norm wishes he was a better gambler :D

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

"All for nothing" is real wisdom; it reminds me of Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) on his former coke addiction: "It's a drug that does nothing for anyone."

[@nathanielnewsnetwork1949]

I honestly thought that was what he was going to say haha

[@WalterLiddy]

That was the obvious answer, but he went with the honest answer instead.

[@dancegod1691]

Honestly I think he'd rather not have ever gambled in the first place than be perfect at it

[@CornholioPuppetMaster]

Who bets on the Falcons lol

[@H11X11N]

Oh my gosh this man has always made me laugh since I was a young kid, God bless Norm Macdonald!

[@jamiewilliams6471]

That memory medication joke is brilliant. I want to tell that to my dad. But I’m scared I won’t remember it.

[@Luschan]

Norm was one of those guys I felt like would always be around, popping up on shows and podcasts like this

[@kylemossi]

3:40 This is very literally the greatest joke I have ever heard.

[@bb7931]

So surreal to know that this interview wasn't that long ago and it's a conversation that can never happen again.

[@mr7oclock346]

Larry King: What do you wish you were better at Norm: Gambling

[@jeremynichols18]

Norm's last words will be "I'm Andy Kaufman".

[@sean1199]

Great interview, I haven't watched any serious Norm interviews prior to this. Thank you Mr. King.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

The If You Only Knew interview with Rob Schneider goes much the same direction: Rob talks about how all humans should be treated with dignity. It's good that there are some rich guys who spend their 30s to 50s actually thinking about life.

[@rawpower12xu]

I don't know if you have heard his interview with Marc Maron on the WTF podcast, it's so good. Also Norm Macdonald in Studio Q is great

[@johnisaacdavey]

The look on Larry's face when Norm says "I'm deeply closeted" is just for the ages.

[@namnack]

- What do you wish you were better at? - Gambling..

[@fleef69]

I bet up in heaven norm is still telling Larry that closeted gay man joke, and by golly it’s still going over his head

Larry: "That means you're very very gay" Norm isn't just gay, he's super ultra gay.

[@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448]

Like Richard Simmons.

[@ymb3858]

Rest in Power Larry and Norm

[@short537]

In hindsight, it is so clear now that when Norm is talking about kindness and generosity he was definitely thinking of these things in light of his illness and mortality. He truly was trying to do good knowing full well he didn't have too much time left.

[@bsfan6150]

When Norm said he admired people who were kind and generous, I thought of his dear friend Bob Saget, who I will always remember with love.

[@demounit]

larry played this so well norm is a legend

[@homefront1999]

Man, I still wish we could've heard what Norm sounded like as a child. Did he still have the same type of voice? or was it something that just developed as he got older?

[@Shane-5150]

It's an act. When he talked seriously he was very soft spoken.

[@easymoney7007]

Good Gaaawd!!! Norm is the ultimate troll, so frickin funny, what a genius!! Larry King was hook, line and sinker. RIP to one of the best there ever was.

"What do you wish you were better at?" "Gambling"

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

1:12 'Something you wished you were better at?' - I was expecting one of them to say 'Gambling'.

Why do they get so excited when someone hints at being gay? Like it's a monumental Achievement ? Smh.

Norm loved punching up. Right back to Weekend Update. He picked the biggest targets and went for them.

[@ricco5951]

Larry took the gay thing too seriously and slightly messed it up, when he first said it I immediately just laughed

[@jsaenz8051]

He's got a great youtube channel

[@PaintMyTaint]

I can’t wait for new episodes of Larry King Now

[@grf15]

I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a $400,000 bet. When Norm said he quit gambling because of the anxiety and stress, I could only nod my head. I'd be a nervous wreck on a bet of even $40, never mind a number that big.
