I have watched this several times over and over and I laugh at the end each time. It fails to get old.

I love his delivery and reactions here much more than when he did it on HS. I love when he’s telling the story he seems to be reliving the moment.

Agreed, this one is stronger. The Stern version lacks energy to where it's almost sad in places. This one keeps moving fast enough that it doesn't sink in, so it stays hilarious.

@@lucenceparency7870 I agree and it just goes to show you that norm was always working hard at his craft.

I wish Karl Pilkington was on Norm’s show before he passed away . Two absolutely heavyweight legends of comedy , in such different & unique styles . Would love to see them on together .
