That’s definitely a Normesque line.

[@paulyjbluey6408]

I’m sad that we live in a world without Norm McDonald

[@irishdruidess7391]

I'll never live in that world, Norms brilliance is extended beyond the grave! "It's so good to be alive man, we can get hair cuts, whatever you want!"

[@jakeburkard576]

Just busted out reading the response lmao love that dude RIP

[@christoffesedao3579]

I’m so happy we live in a world that had Norm in it. He never caved to Hollywood when it came to his relationship with Jesus. He was genuine to the end.

[@franksullivan1873]

He’s still with us for we talk about him every day.

[@LN-Lifer]

As Theo Von said It's like we lost a book that nobody has a copy of

[@smithp67]

Norm always played the "Dumb guy" but was probably the smartest guy in the room. Conan is also really smart.

[@evelynharron4718]

Norm once said " Never come off as being smarter than your audience". He won $500,000 on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. He stopped at half a million because he was playing for a charity but could have won the million because he knew the answer to the final question. Great guy. RIP

[@johndurrett3573]

Courtney was such a great sport. Still one of the funniest guest nights on Conan.

[@WeerdMunkee]

She actually made a guest appearance on The Norm Macdonald Show when it originally aired. It wasn't too long after this aired Norm got his show, and she graciously accepted the role.

[@hereintheyear]

I love how Conan always had him with boring guests LOL

[@chrisolivo6591]

Courtney Thorne Smith talked about this interview about 2 years ago and said she was never offended by Norm. She loved him taking over the interview because she felt most actors like herself worry these types of interviews would be boring and lose the audience. She said to have Norm keep the interview moving made her relax because the pressure was off. She also said the reason she made a comedy with Carrot Top was because Jim Carrey became a movie star a few years before this (the interview was from 1997).. She said Courtney Cox did ‘Ace Ventura’ with Jim Carrey (before he was mega star Jim Carrey) and the movie was a huge hit. She was hoping a Carrot Top movie would be the next ‘Ace Ventura’ and catapult her to fame.

[@moonlitegram]

I saw that interview too. I could imagine a lot of actresses would be upset about this kind of thing. But that woman has such a great spirit and positive attitude about life.

[@jackgilchrist]

Sadly for her, the Carrot Top movie didn't exactly do as well as the Jim Carrey movies, to put it mildly.

[@cspaikido]

She later stated that she had no interest in promoting the movie and that Norm MacDonald made it fun for her.

[@pattaccone5347]

Despite acting like a drunk or a stoner , he was usually the smartest guy in the room!

[@Critter____]

It's great to see a younger group of viewers discover Norm. He was an absolute genius. RIP Norm.

[@Wolfgang-Schnaufer]

This is great. CTS didn't want to do the publicity tour for the movie as she hated it. She was perfectly happy to let Norm take over. They became good friends after this and even appeared on each others shows years later. RIP Norm.

[@grunntalll]

What show of hers did he appear on?

Norm was born with a smile on his face. What a talent.

[@himwhoisnottobenamed5427]

He was Canadian. We’re all born like that on account of the cold.

[@canadaengland]

Norm, like Letterman, loved to pretend he was the "dumbest" person in the room while never letting anyone know that he actually skipped two grades as a child. The most important thing to him was always the joke/what is funny, and F'ing with people coming in a whisker close second.

[@grunntalll]

“I completely forgot about carrot top… he’s definitely an unforgettable character” 🤣🤣

[@stevenmonte7397]

Norm is HILARIOUS!!!!! You have to see his Bill Cosby - Hypocrisy bit.... It's GOLD!!!!

[@skepticalobserver7484]

Everything about this clip is great. Norm is brilliant and CTS is such a good sport. Notice Conan taking quick peeks at Courtney every time Norm gets off a good one to make sure she’s ok. Also I’ve never watched one of your videos before but I liked it. Your comments were on point and you showed us your genuine reaction rather than being over the top. Thanks also for not stopping the video often.

[@scottstewart5784]

Norm believed the comedy audience doesn't want their comics to be too smart. He graduated HS at 14.

[@dpall38]

Norm was a comedian’s comedian. Smartest guy in the room.

Great comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanandy98]

Greatest night show moment in television history!

[@buzzardbeatniks]

I watched this episode when it aired and for 20 years I tried in vain to explain to people how hilarious this bit was and then finally KZbin came along and brought it to the whole world to enjoy for themselves.

[@retired4365]

Norm could just have a punchline and free style a long story for it. 😂❤

[@recipioct]

For many people this was the moment that Norm became Norm.

[@ScooterOnHisWay2024]

"Do something with that, ya freak!" ... NEVER challenge Normie. You'll pay for it.

[@Stuntzii1]

this is the greatest talk show interview of all time

[@peterstanghellini393]

i think Norm is my favorite also. he has a way of captivating me as he tells his stories that may or may not have a good punch line. it doesn't matter, the journey is the best part

[@chiyo-chanholocaust8143]

Norm was so disruptive and somewhat even counter-cultural, like literally introducing chaos into your nice planned little interview

[@jacksonmyers3187]

I love Norm. He's just brilliant. He was just funny- didn't care who he made fun of, including himself. Miss you buddy. No I didn't see that movie

[@luciferthedoberman8991]

Neither did I, and I never will.

[@WeerdMunkee]

I'll always first remember Thorne-Smith from Summer School and Revenge of the Nerds 2, both 1987.

[@seamustheplatypus]

The ultimate troll 🤣

[@woodstockorientalrugcleani430]

My favorite Norm moment of them all.

[@chickmcgee1000]

Norm was near or probably at the top of the list of comics who had the ability to say whatever he thought was funny, no matter how frightening it may have been to his audience. He also stayed away from trying to come off as being the smartest person in the room. Room should reaction to his appearance at The National Press Club’s dinner for, then sitting President Bill Clinton. It really shows his comedic fearlessness and his razor sharp wittiness.

[@irishdruidess7391]

He's rhe funniest as long as one owns a doghouse.

[@georgesotiriou7051]

A detail that always cracks me up is that Conan forgets her name and has to look at his card to remember when she is looking away 7:02

[@LSPNUEMA]

Its so empty without a Norm Macdonald in it

[@Valkonnen]

CTS played a California Surfer girl in 'Summer School". She looked exactly like hundreds of girls I have seen in CA and it was perfect casting.

Love Norm new Mike sounds good and I have never seen that movie didn’t even know it existed anyhow later beautiful.❤️😎🇺🇸

Norm McDonald is so funny. No, I never saw the Carrot Top movie. I never even heard of the movie.

[@bobsylvester88]

Thank you for doing a Norm MacDonald reaction. He’s got a ton of good ones all over KZbin. Anything with Conan or David Letterman is perfect. He has a lot of good standup as well.

[@brettwalker2723]

Canada here: Chairman of the Bored came out around a time when all of the lesser comedians were doing sitcom movies. Pauly Shore was flooding the reels with moronic humour films and Carrot Top cashed in a couple and they were all the same tone. It was like they bought time on a public broadcaster and tried to make as many jokes as possible fit into 2 hours.

[@loudogg46290]

90s film it was a fun movie, and also box office poison. I was 12 when it came out but i remember liking it... i dont' remember it all though, and i may be confusing it with mr deeds.

[@jackhastings9800]

Love the podcast! On your movie question... yes, it was bad! Keep up the great work! Yes, Norm is wonderful, sad loss!

[@827dusty]

I heard Norm graduated High School at 14. Smart guy.

[@Billy-zv6gv]

I never saw Melrose Place, but I knew of Courtney Thorne Smith from "According to Jim" as wife of Jim Belushi. That's my knowledge. I'm a man.

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

I'm glad your sound is working for this one. Norm has made television history so many times but this one is probably the funniest moments on Conan ever. Sucks it was censored. Chairman of the Board sucked and yes, it should have been called Chairman of the Bored.

[@asdfzxcv3617]

Norm was a real genius.

[@user-dn2bg9lx1m]

When Norm would be on Conan and especially David Letterman, those were interviews you would see the hosts GENUINELY laugh. David Letterman was Norm's favorite comedian and Norm was Letterman's favorite comedian. Norm was the last guest ever on his show

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

CTS came off as a REAL person and her smiles and laughs just made her more beautiful. Norm of course just the comedic brat-genius he always was.

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

nice

[@akanshsrivastav8269]

8:04 i love you for saying that

[@minnesotajack1]

Now that you’ve seen how funny he is… you HAVE TO watch him bomb on purpose at the Bob Sagat roast

[@roberthunter4884]

I saw it back in 1998, it was silly, but hey, it was Carrot Top. Every movie should be seen once, that way you experience all the levels of entertainment from good to bad, it's all a learning experience in life. Seeing a bad movie lets you appreciate a good movie even more. Also, you shouldn't rely on the opinions of others before making any decisions, your likes and dislikes are not going to be the same as anybody else's, just take a chance and make the leap of faith whenever you're in doubt about anything. Life's too short for regrets, besides, in this case, I think you might like it, but watch it and judge it for yourself. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️

[@vitaplur426]

Chairman of the Board is a 11% on Rotten Tomatoes haha

I saw Chairman of the Board once. It's basically as good as you'd expect...well, maybe slightly better.

Courtney Thorne Smith was a good sport throughout.

[@tmakinthehouse]

Norm is simply the best

[@california862]

So many Norm Macdonald Conan O'Brien classic moments. React to Norm on Conan "The swedish german"

[@user-yf6zz3cl8i]

You should watch the skit on Conan where he had both Norm MacDonald and Gordon Ramsay on a cooking segment. That was hilarious

[@user-yr3hu1ug7r]

One of the greatest things I have seen Norm do...was the White House Press Correspondence Dinner. He basically did what Ricky Gervias did at the Golden Globes....but with Bill/Hilary Clinton and others.

[@B81Jonny]

This is coming from a 100% fan of Norm and Conan: These dudes were totally speaking over Courtney when she first sat down, as though she didn't exist. I mean, they were just in the moment, but I don't blame her for jokingly saying "I'm gonna bail."

[@islandseeker1260]

This is the cleaned up version that the studio released shortly after Norm's death. That's why there's some missing words in Norm's dialog in order to bring it up to the verbal standards of today's cancel culture mentality. This video is MUCH sharper and better quality, but the blurry VHS original can still be found on KZbin with the "words that can't be spoken" intact with all of Norm's unapologetic glory!

[@suikodensenpai41]

Its crazy

[@mattiasakemalm1412]

If you aren't familiar with Kevin Nealon, his stand up routines are marvelous.

[@hectorrivera6624]

Courtney Thorne was a good sport.

[@AdaedA1]

Courtney Smith’s great laugh made this bit even funnier but Norm is the greatest check out his scrabble story on interview with Letterman equally as long and entertaining

[@holypaper]

Norm is the best...check out his SNL weekend update stuff. It's gold.

[@LinguisticSugar]

Her character arc is less crazy than Mischa Barton's... THAT poor girl got put through the ringer.

Conan O'Brien is funny and so was Craig Ferguson. Craig Ferguson is probably my favorite of all time. 1/13/24, 2:50 p.m.

[@dbugs58]

It was funny if you like his content it is worth the watch

[@travismitchell9637]

Thats why some many of us who grew up watching Norm love him he is not and never cared to be PC. It's what got him fired from SNL. He wouldn't stop making O.J. Jokes and Weekend Update has never been the same since Norm.

[@ryanc9888]

Norm wasn’t wrong, the movie was box office poison lol

I saw the movie as a kid, I liked it (but as a kid, I liked most comedy movies). I loved Carrot Top's prop comedy as a kid. I still like the guy, but it's weird what he's done with his face.
