@ 0:27 "... and my dad caught me, I'll never forget it. His big head. I may forget it one day, I don't know, but I don't... I remember it now. You never know what you're going to forget, you know? Ravaged by syphilis, ya know, in your later years, you might remember nothing." I can't tell you what this meant to me. For whatever reason I was really missing Norm tonight. I've seen videos of Norm doing this bit a lot of times, but I'd never seen this particular performance where he added that wrinkle to it. How great is the surprise element in comedy? Especially coming from Norm. What a blessing!

"none of my jokes take longer than 30 seconds..." That changed pretty quick. ahahahahahahaha
He said "ALL my jokes take longer than that."
That plan backfired
I saw him at Caroline’s nearly 30 years after he recorded this, in 2018. He’ll never not be funny.
Norm be funny.
rip norm, i was in middle school when this was on TV, used to stay up past 11 pm to catch this kind of stuff. one of the all time greatest
"Hey, I'm done, folks! Start clappin', eh?"
"Eh! Keep clapping"
Just wow. I wish I’d seen him perform in person.
Legend !
Love me some Norm MacDonald!
It's such a silly and small thing, but I really like that he pronounces the word 'creek' as 'crick' like I do.
6:17 I love his nervous little ditty dere
Norm is a pro
He did the same bit in a longer show and its almost exactly the same. He's a master of his craft
@@davidpinette9656 I remember a longer ending to that lottery ticket gift bit. It was something about getting a coffee mug in return.
.... unless you're a....
His voice is horrible here..So nasal.He is so handsome and funny but that voice.......
He attested that to his nerves, and in all fairness, it made him exceedingly memorable.
I think he channeled Bob Dylan a little bit early on
