I missed the premiere and I kinda am mad I did, but my favorite moment of Conan's old show was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL0WayC7jW0
Yea, I know it's more about Norm Macdonald, but classic and I've never seen Conan geniunely laugh that much during the show.
Oh Norm is the best talk show guest
Definitely. I have every appearance Norm did until around 2006 on my computer. The Best ever...can't wait for his new show.

have that one too... so good! Is there a Norm thread?
I'm a connoisseur of norm appearances. goto thefakenews.net for a good archive. but recently a lot of the rare ones have surfaced on youtube. I saw this one where he was telling old railroad tales and it was amazing. His talk show materials are great, 'cause they aren't like his stand-up at all- they're just old stories and jokes that he modifies and they're amazing.

If there isn't a Norm thread there needs to be, he is the best and heres the proof:

Oh also I thought Conan's opening bit was great. He seemed nervous, but thats to be expected. I'm glad someone who deserves it is finally back in the driver seat of The Tonight Show.
i saw norm macdonald when he was on conan during conan's last few weeks, and it was just about the best thing ever, and so i basically watched youtube videos of the guy for days. i show everybody the melrose place bit. i'm excited to check all of these out.

No premiere date... it's going to be on F/X. It's called The Norm Macdonald Reality Show.
This is what Norm has said about it.
Quote from: NormThe premise is my career has fizzled into oblivion, so they give me a reality show, which I reluctantly take. So I have to date the Barbie Twins and do all this weird, retarded stuff. Now, I don't know how to drive in real life -my actual life- so in the show, they teach me to get a license, but maybe they get Lee Ermey to teach me; you know, some twist. Anyway, so during the driving lesson, I accidentally kill the teacher. And then all hell breaks lose. I start to become famous again, and the show becomes a hit, and the trial starts. I get my fame that I didn't want in the first place. But there's a lot of funny stuff in it.
do you have the one with the railway story?! That one was the best!
I hope that show with F/X happens because it sounds amazing. I like him on TV, but his scripted shows for broadcast television have been so blah. I always liked the idea of him being more important to the public, but I don't want him having shows if it's at the cost of his personality. This new show could be his perfect platform though.
BIG norm fan here!
links to his roast for bob saget because i think it's the most ingenious thing he's ever done (in an andy kaufman sort of way).

NORM. constantly hysterical. always been one of my favs from snl. whenever he's on dave, I always make sure to be home.
that clip of him on conan never gets old. Im laughing as if I had seen it for the first time. classic.
the Saget roast, seriously, Norm is the only reason I watched.

Arianna Huffington
Paul Theroux ( i dont' know who that is)

RAILROAD STORY FROM CONAN OR LETTERMAN ANYONE?
I've seen all those clips there, and there were these railroad stories that were up for like a day or two on youtube and I can't find them again!!!
Norm is going to be on Conan next week! Thursday the 11th! same night as Jim Gaffigan! oh my
i keep mistaking this for a NORML thread.
He's going to be on conan next week and despite his (Norm's) political views, I REALLY still love his comedy.
Let me just throw this out there: I was watching Roseanne today, and Norm totally wrote the ep I was watching. They were road tripping to either Cali, or Branson, Mo ( i know geographically disconnected, but i couldn't devote 100% of my attention). There were some really great moments in the show too. I truly dig Norm and this was really all i could contribute to the convo
http://www.hulu.com/watch/93107/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-norm-macdonald-part-2
fuck you all for all your conan bashing. he's letting norm shine. that's good enough.
Anyone caught sports show with norm macdonald last night?
i love that he always acts as if he's too confused to understand what's going on , but he's always in control.
I love that he has his own show again, this format really suits him. That smirk can save any bad joke.
his AV club interview was a great read
http://www.avclub.com/articles/norm-macdonald,54380/
Sports Show Is FANTASTIC! Tivo it asap.
She said the three magic words... ''don't kill me''
genius
it got cancelled. WAIT, WHAT?
Norm was in it, what do you expect? He's just too funny for this world. At least we still have George Lopez. Wink.
it kinda depressed me that he had to do a show about sports, since I hate them. Didn't they cancel Onion Sportsdome too? ehh, who needs 'em. It's called COMEDY central for a reason. Idk what I'd like to see him do next, an hour of standup would be cool. I guess it all boils down to what Norm can handle.
did oyu see his hour standup that premiered on comedy central right before his sports show?
no... i'd like to. thx :yabbse-thumbup:

My interest in sports is passive at best. My interest in sports commentary is even less. My enthusiasm for Norm, however, is as strong as it's been since his SNL days.
Even so, I didn't watch this show for quite some time because I felt the same way you do. Turns out, I was completely wrong. I should have realized the fact that the show has a sports focus is secondary to Macdonald's incredible wit. It's very good, very funny, very accessible and it was nice to have a regularly scheduled outlet for his humor. Shame it was cancelled.
i flat-out hate sports, and sports show with norm macdonald was like a friend of mine who's really into sports and even works on a sports network and he makes them bearable for me. i'm honestly going to miss this funny show.
i saw the first 20 minutes of his stand-up show but it didn't look good. still, norm macdonald is probably my favorite comedian.
I love his old dating game joke:
" Bachelor number 2, what would you do to me if I were a popsicle?"
" well, I guess I'd take off your wrapper, and grab ahold of your sticks, and press you against the kitchen counter until you broke in two. then I'd save half of you in the freezer for later. "
Norm's last appearance on Letterman. Real classy.
