I don't know what video you were watching but Letterman repeatedly lied that Norm MacDonald was snowed in and couldn't make it, even though Norm was *right there*. Now I like Dave and all, but this was deliberate on Letterman's part, in my humble opinion. Then he laughed about all the times he blew him off. That doesn't sound like a guy who likes Norm.

Ever notice something about Norm? He not only told the joke, and one of the funniest parts of his humor was the delivery, but he so often showed how much HE ENJOYED it when someone he was talking too, or an interviewer such as Dave, got involved and enjoyed the joke WITH HIM. So he was like the comic that wanted to enjoy the comedy WITH YOU. He told the joke WITH YOU not just TO you--he brought you in to be PART of the joke with him. That's what I think was a huge part of his appeal. We were more a part of his comedy than just observers of it. He really had a genuine love for laughing WITH you. Very unique personality and so likeable you wanted to invite him in. He made you trust him while you enjoyed him. Would've made a great used car salesman (I suspect he'd appreciate that comment.) Thank goodness for videos like these, we can laugh and enjoy this for a long time still. Excellent job editing all this together. I'm in SEVERE PAIN I'm laughing so hard!! Awesome. 🤣😂😆 ~JSV

In the last clip, I noticed there's a difference in the way Norm tells the Larry Flynt story to Conan vs Letterman. I feel like with Letterman, Norm saw him as more of a mentor and therefore didn't push the boundary as much around him. Letterman also quickly remarked "ok Norm.." hinting him to stop when he started imitating Larry Flynt. Meanwhile on Conan's show, he did that impression like three times (and it was hilarious). Shows that Norm Macdonald had a deep appreciation and respect for Letterman

Yup..kimmel is a disgrace

[@rooseveltbrentwood9654]

kkknotcool the sad part is he used to be funny. I loved him on Win Ben Stein’s Money and The Man Show. He hasn’t done anything decent since then though.

I’m 23 so I was born after these interviews aired. I was introduced to Norm after he passed away and have been binge watching all his content. It’s sad that I did not get to know his work while he was still with us but I’m grateful we had the chance to have such awesome comedian. RIP norm

[@tenpoundtesties3069]

@5:53 was a funny moment Norm talked about on the Stern show years back, the fall was not part of the bit and the lady Norm fell on broke a bone and her flute was broken, apparently it was a very expensive flute. She went on to try suing both Norm and the Letterman show, I'm sure what ever came of it but yeah there's that story and it's amazing you have footage of it @Don Giller because I don't think that ever made it to air.

[@ethernet764]

Got a link to the interview?

[@hamonryechinaski180]

I only just found Norm...THRU U TUBE SHORTS!?! I never thought shorts could be so great! Watching his podcasts, the last Netflix special...I LOVE this guy. My partner does too. We're loving it.

[@chexcollects]

What an incredible collection. I read your back story, as well. Mind blowing, man! Awesome job. 👍👍

[@dongiller]

Thanks, Chex!

[@chexcollects]

@@dongiller you’re welcome 🙏

[@Here1o]

Thanks Don, I get it now! I get why random people can make people "KZbin famous." it's because they enjoy their content to the point that it makes em happy to see a new upload. And Don I enjoy your content. Thank you.

[@timhall5229]

Norm would always come on with that mischievous grin on his face. I just loved him, still do!

[@michelletate7750]

Love to watch Dave and Norm! I'm not sure Dave ever laughed harder than those times with Norm. 🥰❤

[@trinitybrown7732]

I find his laugh and dimples so cute omg

[@UndMetal]

Rest in Peace, Fred...I'll miss ya but will often smile because of you

[@samuelstephens6163]

I think I've watched all five of these Norm/Letterman vids about ten times each.

[@butcherboy2450]

I remember watching this as a kid back in the day. RIP NORM

[@sgs1313]

[@accardosalmon4747]

[@LILLJE]

[@BioHazard634]

Yooooooo

Hahahaha

[@jodystarks6936]

[@kaithongsavanh3649]

Norm’s poor cat. Suffered a massive heart attack due to all that cat stress. I heard that cat was up for a big promotion at work and just cracked under the pressure.

[@dychondra]

You got me with “...all that cat stress.” 😂😂😂

[@SeeDMT]

I didnt even know he was sick :/

[@robertsprouse9282]

Nah, his girlfriend wouldn't share her puss n'boots.

[@drug.3797]

Damn I'm for real crying and laughing, my blood pressure has been never better! Norm is one of the best ever!

[@lancerx1759]

Norms jokes from then have still yet not all been uncovered 25 yrs later what a comedic code talking Legend, Norm is a Gift that keeps on giving a true historical barb & bard king

[@georgedudleysashtray3860]

Holy shit the snowstorm gag is hilarious, I'd never seen that.

[@theremixphilly]

I didn't know Kimmel ripped off Letterman with this gag. Huh... well if you rye up off someone, might as well be one of the best , with the best comedian of all time.

[@charliesands188]

Kimmel is a hack.

[@flatplant]

It's more of a pastiche

[@wserafin11]

KIMMEL SUCKS!

[@robertsprouse9282]

@burteriksson, LARRY GIMMEL? My accountant? He sucks?

[@justinsaksida9616]

Everyone steals off of their influences.

[@alexlawrence6440]

"I dont know a lot of words" should have been my high school quote

[@beastiebear7231]

you can tell Letterman loved Norm pretty much from the start

[@TheStokes79]

Detail my friend, detail. Thanks for showing the other angle of Norm crashing into the orchestra.

[@miketheyunggod2534]

Anyone else was just gonna watch ten minutes and watched the whole hour?
