I miss my wife

[@davechrystal]

The original. At least the first one that I came across.

[@Fantasyremix]

“Now he calls himself Ben Matlock” is the funniest premise in the world to me, and it’s just this little throw-in for Norm.

[@Pleaselikemycomment1]

I come back to listen to the Ben Matlock story once a month. Hilarious

[@stephenruane670]

Norm explaining the plot line of Archie comics should be a feature on the new Netflix show....

[@gaidhligaguscamanachd]

Explain Riverdale to the folks at home

[@chriswesterfield2042]

The more I learn about Ben Matlock, the less I care for him.

[@pretorious700]

Sounds like a real jerk

[@LucaGRizzi]

He was a real jerk!

[@haywardjohnson572]

I heard ppl on set of andy Griffith didn't care for him he was hard to work with

[@charlescarter4608]

Norm's playing 9/11? That reminds me of that tragedy.

[@ListenToBigFace]

Well it WAS a national tragedy

[@barringtonfisher87]

Don't laugh at that

[@geico105]

It's why he gained weight.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Just some old man!

[@rogercormier5610]

Juhgead comic! Gets me every time!

[@bcooney24]

“And all of a sudden I realized… 🤨 it wasn’t Ben Matlock at all!”

[@ARichardP]

Does a look-a-like have a moral responsibility to tell others immediately that he’s not the real deal?

[@roddydykes7053]

When he pronounced it “Ra-gene-a” Saskatchewan... I felt that

[@MatthewClarkeGordon]

Good one! And nice other vids on your channel too. The best version of the Matlock joke is on his podcast Norm Macdonald Live. It's in the one with Stephen Merchant.

[@arobsz]

Thanks very much! I tried a few times to get that Merchant clip on there as the closer but it kept getting blocked from Netflix. I might try again though...

[@MatthewClarkeGordon]

I just found out about the norm/netflix/ youtube embargo from not being able to shoot you the time it was on during the interview. (in case you hadn't seen it) The Merchant one was the best one, imho, of all the NML's. Norm was so weird during that. Stephen says in disgust, "I remember I watched your interview with Adam Sandler and there wasn't as much kidde rape and murder as there is in this one!" And Norm just laughs. Anywho, gonna check out your b-ball vids. Hoosier, I. So hope you have the Knight yelling in the locker room. Something about barely beating Purdue and running sprints 'till you puke! lol

[@arobsz]

Norm is the greatest of all time. Enjoy the basketball videos. They have all helped me in some way or another as a coach. Knight's camp was the first I ever worked; best teacher there ever was. The clip you mentioned is from a practice from the winter of 1990. It is unknown who taped that but many believe it may have been a student manager.

[@arobsz]

I added the link to the Merchant interview in the description.

[@Huguillon]

Wait, you´re not I´m not Norm... so, you´re Norm!!!!!

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

I love Norm.

[@thejasonbischoff]

Norm’s a sidler.

[@luisgabrielcaetanodiniz3251]

Just milkin it

[@joaosas]

I once met a guy who I was sure was Norm Macdonald. Turns out it wasn´t him. He was in northern Canada.

[@JakeJarmel]

That's not the true Matlock joke.

[@mistermax3034]

It's one version.

[@juankusoff]
