Netflix just released Norm’s living room special from summer of 2020, recorded the night before a big medical procedure (in case anything went wrong).

Just watched the beginning and it’s a closeup of him with headphones on doing his act.

It’s about an hour, and then there’s a 30 minute segment attached to the end of it with his friends discussing the special.

Letterman, Chappelle, Sandler etc etc.


Its a shame he never got to record this in front of an audience, as this was the first summer of Covid.

Figured we had enough Norm fans here to merit a thread.

Count Dooku

He did a trans joke right near the beginning.

Guess he needs to be cance. . . oh wait. . . never mind.

The special was decent, but would have been a good one with a live audience and polished production.

I really loved the 30-minute thing at the end with David Letterman, Dave Chappelle, Molly Shannon, Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien and David Spade all together in the same room reminiscing over what they just watched.

That was a really nice touch with some personal stories about Norm too.

Count Dooku

I saw a news blurb that Norm had written a screenplay based on his fake memoir, which was one of the funniest things I ever read.

That was sweet, both Norm's performance and the talk after. One final gift from Norm, thank you sir.

Oh man, his book was funny.

Yeah this was good, but not great. Definitely needed an audience and a little polish. Classic Norm, though. Tell a long story then hit with a punchline from a setup 5 minutes before.

Bill Needle

Indeed it was.
