I was an intern on Conan during this time. I got to meet Norm that day, and watch them shoot that little segment in front of a portable blue screen they set up in front of the curtain where Conan would do his monologue. I remember him doing a few takes and saying "...is... is this funny...?" to the segment producer lol

Norm can just troll everybody and never actually tell a joke and I laugh the whole time.

I agree 100%! But, I personally feel that the punchline is watching the ill-prepared unsuspecting rubes absolutely lose their mind after Norm has told them a 10 minute "joke" that has gone absolutely nowhere. It seriously takes a lot of talent to get someone that angry with you and not have them haul off and punch you. He was awesome! What a guy!

[@BillySotherden]

Norm was never not telling jokes

[@hooshjames]

I'm firmly, unshakingly, whole-heartedly convinced that Norm is the most deeply intelligent comedian in American history. His style is playful in the way that a 9-year-old is playful with an ant under a magnifying glass. He just owns it. Nothing trips him up. He is ALWAYS in total control of his audience's next reaction. I'm just in awe of him.

[@nealmp]

He's Canadian.

[@hooshjames]

Neal Myers-Perry I didn't say he was American. I said "in American history." Norm has made his name, his fortune, his fan-base, his family and his legacy in America. His stand-up was in Canada, but New York and Hollywood are his adopted homes, and he's not a political blowhard. So we're happy to have him ;-)

[@bernlin2000]

He's a fearless comedian, I always treasure people who just don't care if a joke lands or not. Subversive humor at its best :-)

I'm putting together a book, The Condensed Norm MacDonald.

[@bait5257]

Lmao

[@shanehen]

Absolutely my favorite comedian. Thank you, Norm, for making life better. RIP.

[@brgreg8725]

I miss Norm so much already that just thinking there’ll be no more new Kitchener Leslie stories depresses me

[@nathannxn]

You can see Norm getting up to leave and Conan tells him to stay. He clearly loved having that guy there.

[@conchhead1]

I have to admit I enjoyed him cracking up Conan more than anything. He would make the other comedians laugh. I think that was genius.

[@keepplayingnice]

This guy is a riot

[@thebeans6534]

+Karthik Nair He's basically the most underrated comic of the last twenty years, haha.

[@georgesotiriou7051]

+TheBeans That moth bit.. I can't get over it.

[@chomastiarnoldo1892]

RIP Norm, I'm truly heartbroken. I blame Frank Stallone.

[@MichaelC_22]

You guessed it

[@alvinlee2968]

Frank Stallone is an abortion that lived. He'd be parking cars at the La Brea Hertz location if not for his bro. And don't bring up his lame ass "music career". Another example of Hollywood nepotism.

[@Steveshappylittletrees]

Norm is amazing. I love his "note to self" schtick.

[@LPow58]

Norm consistently makes Conan laugh so hard and i love it

[@quinbagwell7515]

Norm McDonald is the best ever at setting up a joke , it's an amazing thing to watch how he casts the line , patiently waits and waits and just when you least expect it, Yanks the line sets the hook and reels you in. brilliant

[@throwingsparks]

So hobos invented the “club sandwich”?

[@BernardoFlor_Krio]

Mitch hedberg did

[@nicosmind3]

"Welcome my friend Norm" A lot of showbiz types say things like that but I truly believe Conan when he says that

[@leogetz3570]

Man, I can't believe how much of Norm's humour I've missed over the years. Thank goodness for youtube algorithms!!

[@fairtaxhtown]

Too soon :(

[@chrisp1500]

You're so right. KZbin is the best thing about the internet

[@1101agaoj]

Still bringing laughs and smiles after all these years. What a legend and what a legacy.

"I told you it's cheaper! We're saving up for the thing!"

[@CinemaDemocratica]

I watched this in a coffee shop, and "We're saving up for the thing!" is the moment that one of the servers came over and literally asked me to leave.

[@phil-tw3lm]

norm man!! funniest man on the planet

[@uscg1381]

Conan: So you're afraid of these hobos? Norm: Of course I am! Me: Snorts milk out of nose.

[@rapunzelagain]

"Sully Sullenberger: Airport Pilot". Bwahahaha.

[@keithtimothy8683]

I just saw this now and so funny. Watching all Norm vids. He is so funny! Love how when Conan goes to promote his project he cuts him off to tell a joke. Such a cool dude!

[@billmoyer3254]

No one to replace Norm. He was a treasure.

[@demitasse22]

1/1

[@friendsoftheamazonjungle]

A man goes for his annual checkup. Afterwords he’s sitting the the doctor’s office and the doctor comes in with the results of his tests. The doctor says, “I have some bad news; you have cancer and Alzheimer’s.” The man replies, “well, at least I don’t have cancer. 😂😂😂 RIP BROTHER ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔

[@cortneyrens]

Nice, I’m gonna use that one! RIP norm

[@gordonsmith5589]

RIP Norm! He is one of the guys you would love to hang out with and just chat it up.

[@mmm6325]

Another deliberate train wreck. Never gets old lmao

[@michaelburke7742]

Pure balls and brilliance here. Then at the end Conan gives him one of the highest compliments you can get.

[@ethanjohnson9091]

i don't think it's deliberate but it's hilarious

[@tux1968]

Norm is just a hobo riding the rails from wreck to wreck.

[@MsAdventure531]

He is “Tolstoy in sweatpants”

[@chriswesterfield2042]

@@MsAdventure531 tell the folks at home who Tolstoy was.
