The film Norm is thinking of is in fact Road to Utopia, not Road to Bali. It is an earlier film in the Road series.

[@TannerCKG]

Thank god for the hatchery! And for answering my question at 32:50

I like how Norm is repeating the questions to the audience as if he’s in a TV studio and the questions are coming from people in the crowd who the home audience can’t hear.

Direction to the interviewer from her supervisor, “just read question after question with no expression or reaction. Don’t dig any deeper when you hear his response, don’t laugh, just get through this as fast as you can; all the while, coming across like an emotionless robot.” “Do all this and there a big things in your future.”

[@professor_of_logic]

There's no help for us, when only 588 people liked this...R.I.P. Norm, God bless you!

[@Tamsim3358]

😂😂😂😂 his Scottish and Irish ancestry was coming out here in this interview.

[@mtrps_]

still missing you norm :)

[@chefandy72]

He sounds like that huckleberry Finn writer at times I've heard him more like mitch he'd Berg. It's important to see the whole of the work. Norm was an artist and his art was his life and his comedy together, from what I know that can't be separated. It's by design I believe because he knew for over a decade perhaps 2 that he would die relatively young. And now through pure will and intellect he will live for as long as YT exists. He knew all this, his actions, comments, and work tells us this story.

[@redhairedsalvien]

“It just shows you computers exist everywhere”. You’d suspect they exist in the location they were first built.

I was looking for where Norm said his favorite book was War and Peace and favorite novel, Anna Karenina. In most other interviews, when asked this question he would say In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, but maybe he changed it before he died?

I hope Norm is still funny, then we'll all have something to look forward to ...

I love how in every interviewer Norm has a different favourite comic of all time. I've heard him say Richard Pryor, Chris Farley, Brian Regan, Dave Chappelle, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and so many others are the 'funniest person I ever saw in my life' Lol. Oh, and Amy Schumer.

[@majdal-hajjahmad7364]

Does anyone have any thoughts on Norm's delivery of this Q&A? I didn't think much about the tone of his voice until he began referring to the Q&A as being a sort of nonsense. Of course, he's not being interviewed by a comedian/entertainer, so I can see how he may be a bit less animated. However, I began to feel like maybe he didn't want to be there. Not that it matters one way or another; I'm just curious to know if anyone else thought anything of it.

[@mikee702]

mac donald...that was a letterman reference

[@Marco-fn6kg]

[@tsmcghee8907]

One of the most feeling people ever telling about his nonsense thoughts during a funeral. You can be assured most people think nothing beyond themselves if this thoughtful genius can point out his own self-centeredness.

[@teocantsleep4611]

You'd have to read it and see if you still think the same thing.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

Wonderful guy who I miss greatly but why was he censored 44:39 when the interviewer was not, especially when saying the same name & norm went on to, pretty much, identify the person anyway?🤔

[@mohnjarx7801]

"if this were a memoir"

[@SueProv]

I would have thought it would have been Ralph Kramden driving the bus. It was Road to Utopia Hope got the girl and married her . Crosby comes to visit and Lamour and Hope have a son who looks line Crosby. The adoption line got them past the censors.
