Norm MacDonald is on Conan 2/10

Not sure what he's promoting but he ranks as one of my fave talk show guest ever. I've never seen him do a bad interview.

This thread needs the Courtney Thorne-Smith interview:

Uh, hello... According to Jim is now in its 20th season...

Watching that interview again for like the 100th time, it's still the funniest post-Carson talk show segment ever.

So she died and went to hell???

How can that show possibly be in its 20th season...you're telling me that it's been on as long as The Simpsons?

Hyperbole, it's in its 8th unfortunate season now. Apparently it has been canned but everytime I hear that it gets renewed.

Edit: In the end, it wasn't canned, Belushi quit ->
“We had a contract for eight years and we completed the contract,” Belushi told us. “I’m moving on.”

Oh and Norm is the man.

Re: Norm MacDonald is on Conan 2/10

He's performing at the Improv in Tempe, AZ next month. My department at work has decided that we should have quarterly get-togethers outside of work, and I think this is were we're going.

I just need to convince a couple of thiem to see Norm MacDonald instead of Charlie Murphy and I'll be all set.

ahhhh...kind of like when you break a limb and the healing time feels like it takes years when in reality it's only been a couple of months. It just feels like its been on that long.

That Norm-Conan interview is hilarious. I can watch it over and over.

Re: Norm MacDonald is on Conan 2/10

I saw him on the Bob Saget roast and he absolutely bombed with a bunch of canned old jokes, but some observers found the routine brilliantly irreverent.

I thought he was the best part of the roast. If you didn't get what he was doing, you don't get him.

Re: Norm MacDonald is on Conan 2/10

I've pretty much worn out the tape of that old Conan interview concerning Carrot Top. Good to see it's online.

I saw him back in October doing standup. Awesome sauce.

Thanks a ton for the heads up!!

I didn't find it funny, nor did anyone present there. I understand he was trying to do sort of an "anti-roast", but it was way too dry for such an occasion.

I saw him at the Improv here in Houston a few months ago. He was funny at times, but the guy went on so long(approaching 2 hours) that they actually flashed the lights at the stage to make him stop. It was Thursday night and I guess the 8 PM show was the only one scheduled, but he clearly was winging it as there was no flow to his jokes and stories. Looooooooong pauses where he was thinking of what to say next.

I'm not bashing Norm. I think the guy's brilliant and one of the best talk show guests of all-time. And he did sign my Billy Madison HD-DVD. But his standup(at least that night) was unpolished to say the least.

I think that's what I loved the most about it. It was really uneasy and kind of uncomfortable. I thought it was hilarious.

His start on Conan tonight with the Leno stuff was awesome!
