I met Jeff Goldblum a few years ago and when we were getting our picture taken in a Harry Caray voice I said, "Say cheese.....is not what the moon is made of!" and Jeff just looked down at me and said, "Ahh, that's right!"
Not only does Will bring the familiar appearance of Harry to life, he has written some brilliant dialogue. With the killer delivery of Caray exaggerated to perfection, the diatribes are wickedly funny. One of comedy's all-time great impersonations.
Harry leading _Take Me Out to the Ball Game_ during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley... nice memories in a year likely w/o baseball. I think Harry got a kick out of Will’s spaced-out impression of him. Good job & RIP Harry.
Not that anyone cares, but when I was 12, I met Harry at a restaurant in Sarasota, FL. He was really great, extremely friendly. Of course (it almost goes without saying), he was seated at the bar 😊 Go Cubs, and Old Style beer! "A one, two, three..Take me out to the ball game..." We Chicagoans miss you. Oh, and great job, Will!
@@christhornton9762 how did Colin help get norm booted? I always thought Norm was fired for making jokes NBC executives didn't approve of, in particular OJ Simpson related ones.
He mentioned Waukegan, Illinois. I was once involved in a minor car accident in Waukegan with a lady who was a waitress at Harry Carey's restaurant in Chicago.
It's funny bc between the first two and the last one he had a LOT more practice doing GWB, and you can see that sneaking into his impression while he's talking with Seth
I remember listening to Gary Burbank out of Cincy on WLW radio thirty years ago during my work travels. He used to do a great Harry Caray that went right along these same lines.
I loved it when my boy, Mark "Mudcat" Grant, longtime color commentator for my Pads, and Joliet Illinois native, sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame as Harry Caray when the Padres were playing the Cubs. It was awesome...love that guy!
@@hellhound9347 Come on. You have your comedy gimmick, some sort of conflict to push things through, and you're home free. Nothing in that equation says the characters all have to be gaggled together on the same stage with a keyed up audience in front of them.
The question we should be asking ourselves is "how does Will Ferrell not break character and bust out laughing doing these sketches?" if Will Ferrell breaks character you know some crazy s**t is going on!😂
Grew up listening to Harry call the Cardinal games on KMOX until 1968. Not a great impression, but a brilliant characterization from Will. It’s help to allow a younger generation to know who Harry was, and that’s important. Thanks for putting this together.
I’ll never get tired of Will Ferrell doing Harry Caray. It’s just brilliant.
The "Hey... what if... hey!" gets me every time.
The Colin Quinn one is a classic, this was the first episode after norm was fired calling out his name was undoubtedly unscripted and hilarious
I remember so clearly when Will Ferrell portayed Harry Carey. I forgot it was Will, it was amazing.
Will Ferrell got the inspiration for playing Harry Carrey when he was watching a Cubs game and Carrey yelled "if he's a pitcher, then I'm a Chinaman!"
Haha, Chinaman is one of Norm MacDonald's favorite racial slurs.....literally "Man from China".....that's racist!
"Hey Norm, did you gain weight?" I laughed just as hard now as I did when I saw that in 98
Same!😂😂😂
OMG! Was it really 22 years ago???? OOF!!!
Hey" did you see that!?!
I'm gonna go hang out with these cheerleaders!
We love and miss you! Oi chicago IL!
"If you said no, I would've bitten your ear off". Words to live by.

Even if he would have found it offensive, he was likely way too spaced out in REAL life to care.
"Hey Norm,if you were a hot dog would you eat yourself ?". "I'd cover myself in brown mustard,I'd be soo delicious"
Little known fact: Harry Caray inspired the bobblehead.
UNDERRATED

"Twenty hot dogs would equal roughly a nickel; Depending on the strength of the Yen...I'm not quite sure."
the one with Myers was a little weak in spots but it was absolutely rescued by "i'm gonna go waterboard Asian Pete Rose in heaven"
😆 It still amazes me how he's holding his face lke that making all those "neck-rolls". 🤣
It's amazing he can keep his face contorted like that for so long.
I love the bobble head
I just noticed Norms dimples! So handsome!!!
“I would’ve come at you like a tornado made of arms and teeth...and fingernails.” 😂
And. he calls him Norm.
RIP, Mr. MCDONALD.
One of Will Ferrell's funniest yet underrated characters. Just looking at him makes me laugh.

Ay, where's the one with Jeff Goldblum, when Will asks and if he'd eat the moon if it was made of BBQ spare ribs xD
It was not in Weekend Update
Imagine dying, going to heaven, and having your entire life reviewed and narrated by Harry Caray.
This is what makes me happy, Good comedy 😂
Emily Rose this is true!
Indeed!
It's too bad he didn't make it a permanent inside joke and just kept calling every host Norm.
I thought the same thing.
@callmecatalyst I think it may have been more of an insult to Colin, it was Colin who helped get Norm booted from SNL.
@@christhornton9762 how did Colin help get norm booted? I always thought Norm was fired for making jokes NBC executives didn't approve of, in particular OJ Simpson related ones.
Facts!!!😂
Will and Norm on the same screen makes my heart flutter
Good call, he was right. Yankees DID win the 1996 World Series in 6.
I came looking for this comment. Well done.
He mentioned Waukegan, Illinois. I was once involved in a minor car accident in Waukegan with a lady who was a waitress at Harry Carey's restaurant in Chicago.
8 pound 3 ounce ? Will Ferrell referenced this line in talledega nights . Dope
This makes me laugh and be sad cause we all miss Harry so much
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
We need a "Every Harry Caray Ever" to include the non-WU appearances - Jeff Goldblum, Joan Allen ("...didn't you die?"), etc.
Dear SNL, please make a weekend update rewind of the forgotten legend Norm Macdonald
Only thing better than Harry Carey is a tall, cool Budweiser. Budweiser, the KING of beers!
I'd take Bob Uecker and a Miller High Life any day over a Bud but I'm biased.
Lol when he looked over at Seth and randomly screams HEYYYYYY I shit my pants
Funny in that first clip, he was right! The Yankees won the 1996 World Series in 6 games!
Just what I needed right now!! XD😂
It's funny bc between the first two and the last one he had a LOT more practice doing GWB, and you can see that sneaking into his impression while he's talking with Seth
His portrayal could be Steve Mnuchin.
En pointe!
A great sports commentator 😁 it's a pity that he is not the President of Russia 😢😊 the most famous Russian sports commentator Viktor Gusev ✌
I remember listening to Gary Burbank out of Cincy on WLW radio thirty years ago during my work travels. He used to do a great Harry Caray that went right along these same lines.
I remember catching these episodes in high school. Shit is like a time machine, it takes you back
I'm surprised he didn't call Seth as Norm!
Now Pete Rose and Harry Caray are roommates in Heaven for real
This just cracks me up! Harry ftw, Ferrel is a comic genius!🙌
Will Ferrell as Harry Caray is my absolute *_favorite_*
F in the chat if you're ready for Harry Caray to narrate the UA-cam rewind 2020
The Yanks won in 6.
Awesome history
Great comedy. Loved this period in SNL history 😂😂
The 2009 clip, you can tell he was doing You're Welcome America his George W. Bush one man show, it's a like a mix of Harry and W and Ricky Bobby.
Thank heavens, I need this! 💖💖💖
Seth Meyers: looks like a teenager, sounds the same. 👍
Classic! 🤣🤣👏
This character just gets funnier and funnier! I'd love to see him do it again
Why do I feel as though I'll be going straight to hell for loving and laughing at Will Ferrell's Harry Caray's impression?
He kept that face on for awhile. Method acting at its finest
Dear Lord, Will is spot on with his impression of legend Harry Caray ⚾️
HEY!!!
LOL
They ought to make a movie staring Harry Carry!!
Why does he make me laugh so hard 😂
This makes me realize how much I miss the actual weekend update
I loved it when my boy, Mark "Mudcat" Grant, longtime color commentator for my Pads, and Joliet Illinois native, sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame as Harry Caray when the Padres were playing the Cubs. It was awesome...love that guy!
Lol!
Oh, my goodness!!
Will Ferrell’s Harry Caray should have been the moderator for the Trump/Biden debates with Baldwin and Carey. That would have been hysterical!
doctor: “you have 10 minutes and 14 seconds left to live”
me:
... love the plumbers crack , it's like crack to me
Love those ties in the first Update in '96
Norm, did you gain weight ? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Don’t jerk me around Norm...new respect for Will
Dang, so Will called it. 1996, Yankees won it in 6 games!
R.I.P., Harry!
Who else , after watching this goes back to SNL’s app and looks for Will’s skits just to keep laughing?
Loved his glasses. I call those “Harry Caray Glasses” to this day!
It would have been great if he would have addressed Seth as "Norm"! 😂
Can see will's improv ability while struggling with no laughs early.
If the moon were made out of cheese
would you eat it??
Me: YES.
Heck I'd go back for seconds and polish it off with tall cool Budweiser (or any other beer cuz bud sucks)
HEY, “ just say yes and we’ll move on.” Great comedy.....
HEY !!😅
Will Farrell is so funny hahahahaha 😂🤣
"You can't do it, Norm. You can't."
Thank God for Tina Fey and Seth Myers to save us from Norms untimely firing which was crap
Holy hell, this was the inspiration for the reporter on Back at the Barnyard?!
I’ve been waiting for this!
Aww, this never included my favourite "You could catch a Marlin, Norm!"
Yes! One of the classics. Keep that weak quarantine comedy isolated at the snl we bsite
Ease up bud. Putting together good comedy in these conditions ain't a walk in the park

@@outstandingswitchboardserv409 Okay bud and what makes you the expert?
@@hellhound9347 Not saying I'm the expert, but yes, obviously I've tried my hand at comedy sketches. Go ahead and judge for yourself.
@@outstandingswitchboardserv409 And how do I do that?
Wow. All in a row like this. How have they not done a Movie? What did Asian Pete Rose need $200 Angel Bucks for?
"Y' know it's in Georgia."
Fantastic, but I was hoping for the one with Jeff Goldblum 🤣
Hey, why doesn't heaven use hot dogs for currency?
where's norm McDonald
On adult swim

Aaaaaaaand favorited. Thank you.
So awesome
We miss baseball. But miss Harry Carey more. Who will come back first? Probably Harry.
Cubs fan approval: ✔ #CubsFamilyIsForever #FlyTheW
Go cubs!
Will Ferrell is hilarious! 😂 😂
Hey!
Will Ferrell's funniest "character"!
Classic👌😂
Will Ferrell should work on the Biden character too 😂 🤣
HEEEY! I have hairy legs! HEEEY!!!
My mom met Harry and her name is Carrie ... he said "If we got married you'd be Carrie Caray!"
Don't jerk me around its a simple question!
HHHHEYYYYY!
