    I was an intern on Conan during this time. I got to meet Norm that day, and watch them shoot that little segment in front of a portable blue screen they set up in front of the curtain where Conan would do his monologue. I remember him doing a few takes and saying "...is... is this funny...?" to the segment producer lol

      Agreed. Letterman and Conan both laugh hysterically when Norm is a guest--like they do with no other comedian. He's very much a comedian's comedian. And, like you say, a genius.

      The man doesn't buy his own wife a plane ticket and makes her stand for the whole flight, because they are saving up for "the thing." Even though he's the pilot and could've easily pulled some strings so she could sit.

  • @hooshjames
    @hooshjames 7 лет назад +1584

    I'm firmly, unshakingly, whole-heartedly convinced that Norm is the most deeply intelligent comedian in American history. His style is playful in the way that a 9-year-old is playful with an ant under a magnifying glass. He just owns it. Nothing trips him up. He is ALWAYS in total control of his audience's next reaction. I'm just in awe of him.

      Neal Myers-Perry I didn't say he was American. I said "in American history." Norm has made his name, his fortune, his fan-base, his family and his legacy in America. His stand-up was in Canada, but New York and Hollywood are his adopted homes, and he's not a political blowhard. So we're happy to have him ;-)

      Norm was completely an act the hell are you talking about. At 4:09 he stops himself from saying 'bindle' so he doesn't look smarter than Conan because it would kill the illusion. He's basically the low-key 90s version of Andy Kaufman.

    Tribute to one of the greatest comedians of our generation. In his own words, his battle with cancer was a draw.
    “I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure that if you die, then the cancer also dies at the same time. “That to me is not a loss. That’s a draw.”
    RIP Norm...

The economy is booming right now (don't get me wrong, we're looking at a bubble), and the reason why people are killing themselves is different than in the Great Depression. The problem today is complex but it's mostly a symptom of inequality not seen since the Gilded Age. I dread what will happen when the economy inevitably does turn south, but the truth is by the time we recover from that we will be staring the effects of climate change right in the face.

      I love how his buildup to jokes are usually funnier then his punchline for them. Gives him a lot of freedom with his jokes since he isn't worried about making sure the Punchline is the big laugh instead he just focuses on making sure the entire joke is funny from start to finish like the moth joke he tells its so long that he has to make sure to remind the audience what's happening again towards the end just so they understand the punchline.

      Wise Wolf Tony Norm’s genius is that the buildup is funnier than the punchline, and then he often explains the joke again after, which is even funnier than the buildup! I don’t think there is another comedian who has the timeline and delivery to get away with what he does so well.

      John Thomas Boy, that may be true.
