Norm Macdonald Keeps Interrupting His Own Trump Story | CONAN on TBS

god man, the dynamic between these two was magical. Every time Norm had an appearance on any of Conan's shows through the years, he always produced the best "late-night talkshow guest interview" content anywhere, on any network, against any other late night show, period. Conan brought the best out of Norm, and their chemistry worked perfectly together. Some of Norm's best and widely known jokes (like the moth joke, which was totally improvised by Norm on the spot) came out of a Conan appearance. I just wish we had so much more content with these two guys (plus Andy, of course) together, but hey, at least we have comedy gold recorded for us to watch.

[@syncere1000000]

Didn't bomb at all. Norm doesn't always do jokes for the uproarious crowd laughs. The joke is, if you get norms brand of comedy, that norm thinks the silence is hilarious. He finds the non reaction funny and is entertaining himself at the crowds expense. And this becomes the joke... that awkward moment rather than the actual words/punchline. And as you follow his comedy throughout the years, you know when he's going for a genuine laugh or when he's going for awkward silence.

well he went to write a book. which he mentioned at the start of his 2nd season in his podcast show. jeez! don't you know anything you dummy?! also, if you watched any of norm's appearances on Conan you'd know that Conan always let him talk most of the time. Think i'm playing you for a fool? go ahead, search "conan norm macdonald" on youtube and see for yourself.

[@amiraiman8997]

RIP Norm. The best of its kind

[@Cloperella]

As far as impressions of Norm Macdonald go, Conan was pretty spot on

[@BillySotherden]

00:40 'But the ending...' Norm was about to explain that no matter how long he rambles during a joke, he ALWAYS ALWAYS has a GENIUS and solid punchline that makes the previous 5 minutes worthwhile and all the more hilarious.

[@FanboyFilms]

The groan-inducing stupidity of the punchline usually makes you realize how much time you just wasted on Norm's story for no good reason, and the joke's on you. That's what's great about it. Or as Andy Richter once said, "it's like you took us on a five mile hike just to look at somebody's turd!"

[@David_Downs]

Yes, In comedy and storytelling, this is called The Shaggy Dog story, Norm has this down to a precise art.

[@jimreily7538]

​@@David_DownsThank you. Seems like many people don't know what the shaggy dog story is, and how it's been used as a comedic technique for a very long time. I remember Buddy Hackett telling great shaggy dog stories on Carson. I'm sure they have even earlier masters.

[@vinylguy6453]

He's told that Carson joke so many times lmao

[@ridethasno]

Rest In Peace Norm. One of the greatest to ever do it. 🙏

[@TheYetiLee]

I find myself watching a few Norm clips every day now. Like Farley, I don’t think I’ll ever get over this one either. RIP brother.

[@markzuckerberg5661]

I watch this every month or so. This whole interview was amazing. Conan and norm have such good chemistry.

[@baileybahr533]

I love the fact, he knew that he was dying, but still brought the comedy.

[@ARy72413]

RIP, Norm. But, hopefully, LONG LIVE CONAN. (Pretty, pretty please).

[@SoNoFTheMoSt]

Conan is such a good host really love his interviews with good comedians :)

[@HQBacon]

1:08 incredibly warm moment from Norm here. Very rare for it to happen.

[@connorgedwill8021]

One of my heros of today. Made humor that was controversial but always stuck to it with his heart. I sank when i found out he passed RIP a great man and a great comedian.

[@supreetsahu1964]

That was a hilarious and kinda accurate Carson impression

[@alfrancis8]

Norm reminds me of Mohamed Ali... both have that cheeky grin

[@magemeatloaf]

Now that you mention it I totally see what you're talking about

[@jgalt634]

But Norm doesn't hate white people.

[@s1Lence_au]

yea reminds me of muhammad ali in his early 40s when he began showing signs of parkinsons, its the way norm speaks, very slowly and with a similar voice to ali

[@inksnail1458]

@All American Chutzpah You wrote a jingle about other people being angry?

[@MrFitzonic]

"I think no show competes with this one" Boy I sure do miss Ferguson...

[@SssagaBenches4U]

Turd Ferguson? Ajajaaaaj :D

[@MrFitzonic]

yeah I admit Conan is probably my favourite of the remaining bunch.

[@acetronomer]

I miss the past in general so, so much. Conan was so much better way back on Late Night it's sad. If this show, in it's present form, is the best one of "what's left" (_I_ don't think it is by the way), the world is truly down the toilet.

[@thesprawl2361]

@Ulysses432 Not really.

[@thesprawl2361]

@Ulysses432 Just no. That's the world's worst take.

[@wabbithare9653]

Every few months I end up in a Norm Macdonald binge. So here's me clocking into this video. - May 2021 - 14th September 2021 (RIP Norm)

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

Wow! This was such a shock to hear about Norms battle w cancer. RIP Norm. 🙏

[@abrahamlincoln9758]

I didn't even know he was sick.

[@rex788]

We love you NORM! Rest easy funny man. ❤️
