As a Canadian who had to take French in school - 6 yrs, there were many stories we had to read in French. Marie-Claire & Jean Luc were common names in them. If only we had some of Norm's stories for these classes!!! 😂 Norm, you moved to the States, but you will always be one of ours, albeit, now in loving memory. 🥀♥
@@gorway6807 Me too!! 🤣 Whenever I hear Norm do the Fr. Cdn. accent, I always think of our former PM Jean Chrétien - carbon copy, to me. He had to have gotten it from him. 😉
I remember watching this as a teenager in the 90s. It was on at like 1am in Australia. I hard horrible insomnia after getting clean and Conan helped on those long nights. Anytime Norm was on it was something special, clear memories of watching this episode live, it was such a stand out.
"My friends are like, eh let's go. I'm like WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO! (thumb) Where are you gonna go--y'know, why GO? Like we're in a bar drinkin, right? HEY! I'll just stay here, I'll make new friends..." (abridged)
I saw him at a club and he bombed (I didn't even like his set). But a real Norm fan can get over it - the material he used that night he eventually honed and made it hilarious on a podcast. But that's a risk you took with him and Gilbert Gottfried. They were fearless.
My mom served as a waitress at a comedy club in Toronto around the time Norm was still working in canada, and she said there were countless times where Norm would just be wandering on stage and ramble about some tangent the audience was barely following and waltz of like it was no big deal. The guy was in his own world in her own words, and bombing and throwing a crowd off completely to him seemed almost more satisfying than landing his jokes. The guy was truly one of a kind
What a great time ❤ and then the band playing run through the jungle. WuuWee, I tell ya. Wish I cOuldve been there. Can’t even listen to creedence any more man.. they stole my car & the dang tape was in there man.
Cheers 🍻 👏 Norm. You make the world a tolerable place. And much more fun. 🤡 We miss you but are grateful you were once here. Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 Norm McDonald 😂
Deserves many more views for including the entire appearance and for being a better quality recording.
It's the VHS archive, what do you expect but the best?
@@runswithraptors Sure, I guess. Maybe I shoulda known. Cheers, mate

My fav norm appearance ever. Just off the fucking rails greatness
Conan and Norm. 25 years later, still the best.
Hey! I wonder where they get their ideas from 😢
RIP Normy, you old chunk
Beverly Hills Ralph’s that’s where

Do you have any idea what you've just read?

as a Canadian also, the way he says "I would like nothing bet-ter... than a rid-dle" slays me every time

As an Indian guy who has lived in New Liskeard, ON of all places for a good time, with a local teacher being my best bud, I can also attest to this. 😂
electric chemistry these two
I wonder, if Conan is watching this every now and then with a sad smile.

This is probably his best appearance
And the show when he and later Courtney Thorne-Smith where guests. Can't decide which one of them are the best.
"My friends are like, eh let's go.
I'm like WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO! (thumb)
Where are you gonna go--y'know, why GO?
Like we're in a bar drinkin, right?

there's a jukebox; it's like a wild west saloon, y'know? where a guy passes an entire bottle and you go: "AAAAAHHH" drinking it.
Norm and conan was gold r.i.p.
Norm doing the news on SNL is a classic. I remember when it first aired. I was there!
"O.J. is in his white bronco......."
RIP GOAT
He had a way with words...
15:33 Norm and Sean wriggling with mischievous glee 😂
Many comedians can only dream of reaching his level.
“You sit on a couch for a living, you should think about not giving that up”😂😂
Legend RIP Norm
Love Norm And Letterman just looking at each other and grinning 😂
Letterman?
@@minime9400yeah, he did well in high school sports

@@grimreefer9324 you can tell he did jokes for himself or comedians.. not the audience 😂 awesome
God Norm was and is the Best dude was my fav
The heroic man who single-handedly saved cinema with Artie Lang! Dirty Work-comedy’s Citizen Kane.
the best...always cracks me up
What a great time ❤ and then the band playing run through the jungle. WuuWee, I tell ya. Wish I cOuldve been there. Can’t even listen to creedence any more man.. they stole my car & the dang tape was in there man.
THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️
The irony in Norm not remembering how to tell that last joke is hilarious
❤
Brilliant
That Sean hayes fella seems a good sport.
I miss Norm MacDonald
What a loss!
What a genius!
I will pray for America.
Please pray for me.
God Bless you.
Yes, I completely agree.
But…. Also how blessed we were to have him at all!
God is great all the time!
When he’s like “I’m a deeply closeted homosexual man…”
Cheers 🍻 👏 Norm. You make the world a tolerable place. And much more fun. 🤡
We miss you but are grateful you were once here.
Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 Norm McDonald 😂
Rula Lenska? Bro always made the oldest/most uncommon references lol
You have to be in your 60's or older to get the joke.
I wish Norm was still kicking for this Tuesday.... imagine he'd have an opinion....
Im not gay but 20 bucks is 20 bucks
I am gay but 20 bucks is 20 bucks.
I'm not 20 bucks but gay is gay.
Brilliantly demented!
Good not so old days.
every time i see those couches i think about Tom Green
Knowing what we know now about what happened to Norm as a child the story about being jumped on by the naked dancer on MTV takes on a much darker tone
Best.....
Not even 2 short years till the National Tragedy.
What do you mean?
11:31 the rare loud norm laugh
I know one thing for sure, IF I had been in this audience, I'd be the guy @ 4:53
C.T.A. By Jimmy Heath in the breaks
And I was born the next day 😅
That's funny but when you think about it, it's not funny. Unwanted sexual contact is assault.
normthany mactano 10/10
_solid_ 10/10
I don't get what the cab driver said that was so bad? They cut words it s...s!
Norm accidentally swore, saying "the f***in' cab driver back in New York". 13:40
Norm and Theo von were cut from the same cloth
RIP the GOAT of comedy Christian comedian Norm
mgtow
Only Norm can work Ruehla Lenska into the conversation 😂
He was the best
