      mightisright - Norm lays down a false pre-interview & never goes to that expected talk during interviews. He said he doesn’t like the host to know what’s coming in advance.
      Letterman & Conan figures this out waaay back & now they just skip the preinterview. I don’t think Kimmel was as wise to it at this point.

      @@waynestarr6705 That's the best part. i didn't know who he was until I saw him on Norm's show. All I know is Super Dave is a character played by comedian Bob Einstein. I guess he was on a show called curb your enthusiasm. I've never watched it. It's not on Netflix or Hulu. Is it any good?
      I watched him on Jerry Seinfeld comedian in cars getting coffee. Funny funny guy.

      @@Pyro-Moloch Norm's arguing that it's better to be able to binge watch a show without the cliffhangers and waiting a week for the next episode. Jimmy says it's fun since you can discuss what happened with friends. Norm's book club answer refers to the fact that a book club is where you're able to discuss something that everyone read in their own spare time. His point is that he doesn't care for talking about what's going on with the show, he just wants to see the whole thing. Which is consistent with his point about not wanting to have to think about or guess what the ending is.

      3ternal dunno, he had two specials out when you commented, one of which wasn't terribly old and is one of the best hours of stand-up ever, and had a third special released a few months after your comment. he could do ten more probably and still wouldn't get the recognition he deserves. norm would disagree, but he does do smart comedy. not in the sense that he provides intelligent social commentary, but that much of it is subtle enough to sail right over dumb people's heads. it's a totally douchey thing to say, but it's true. have you ever tried telling a subtle joke like the 'this guy was a real jerk' joke to dumb people?

      Nick Gaspar As I recall it -- and I could be wrong, but -- Norm started on SNL just doing Weekend Update, never appearing in sketches. Then, they took him off Update for a brief time before firing him, and suddenly he did _several_ amazing impressions almost all at once -- dead-on Letterman, dead-on Larry King, and there was always the Burt Reynolds impression, which seemed effortless.

The effect is hysterically funny, and he deserves all the accolades he's received because of his genius. I mean, who else but Norm could drop a Nora Ephron reference but yet juxtapose this with being a naïf, and get such laughs?
