And that wasn't scripted. Most things said on talkshows are rehearsed but Norm is a true gem. He just says whatever he wants and it's always witty and funny.
Conan's reaction to the "charman of the bored" line is just priceless. You can tell he's both delighted and kicking himself for setting Norm up for a perfect lay-up. That entire moment belongs in a museum it's literal media history.
Watched hours of these in dark hospital days. Norm saved me from depression, truly. I busted stitches laughing. Two months later he passed, I love this guys art
"Nine and a half seconds" was even funnier. The B-O-R-E-D was mostly just funny because it was the climax of a series of brutal blows that completely killed the interview. Just when Conan challenged him to make another joke, he drops that one.
Yeah, 4:50 The comedians were freestyling then Conan challenges Norm with that "freak" comment...4:57 an honest to God laugh response from everybody! Conan loses it. Norm WAS a very witty & quick script.
Norm had a way of making the most blunt and biting remarks without ever coming off as mean spirited. Some of the best comedians like him and Steve Martin are incredibly intelligent, and yet play the fool with a little wink to the audience. The Conan interview with Courtney Thorne-Smith is legendary.
Oh, hell yeah..."Blindsided" is the perfect word too bc Dave was prob thinkin' "I'm gonna help Norm out here"...Norm just didn't need the help there Dave...He was not your 'typical' guest.
I still don’t know how Courtney managed to be so gracious and self depreciating. What a champ. I’ve never seen any of her work, but she’s the total pro. They’re essentially picking apart the entire direction of her life and she’s still 😂😅
8:32 I have never seen Dave laughed so hard 😂😂😂 I have seen all the clips in this video except this one. I laughed so hard and had to replay a few more times. Thanks Norm!
You should look up Norm’s Bob Uecker story that he told on Letterman. That’s as hard as I’ve ever seen Letterman laugh. His reaction makes the story five times funnier.
One the world's naturally funniest people . I had tickets for a show 2 weeks before he passed. What a terrible loss. He makes me appreciate Conan even more
@@thomassimmons1950 She actually did very well. And it's hard to find good roles; most stars don't reach their old level of success ever. Courtney Thorne-Smith was actually in 69 episodes of Ally McBeal just after this, and over 50 episodes of 2 1/2 Men, even though it was no longer a top-rated show. And then starred in the terrible-but-successful show According to Jim. But the quality wasn't her fault.
What distinguishes genuinely funny people is their ability to nail the tiny details which compounds that hilarity of a joke… “Hang gliding” is just such a genius choice in that joke! It works infinitely better than “skydiving” or “meth” etc… because it’s just a subtler more subdued activity and an unusual thrill-seeking activity to mention. It’s the small stuff that counts.
I never get tired of listening to the witticisms Norm MacDonald. It's like Monty Python Fans. They get to know the Monty Python routines so well, that they can pretty much recite the dialogue of each skit as they're watching them.
Norm is one of the few comedians that can give the same energy of watching an amazing play in sports. Sometimes the build up alone is worth it (moth joke), other times he pulls those quick retorts that feels like watching a Hail Mary catch in the end zone.
norm was so brilliant that i don't know what to do with myself now that he's gone. he and my best friend died on the same day in sept. '21. not a good day.
That really sucks. I'll never forget the day Norm died, so can't imagine losing my best friend on top of that 🥲From one Norm fan to another, I hope you're doing ok now.
I have seen all of these probably over 50 times now - I was watching them as the pandemic started and I just loved it - Norm was with us then and I had no idea we would lose him soon. I will continue to watch them. The segment with Courtney still gets me like it's the first time I watched it. I laugh out loud when watching it (and Conan's interaction is equally funny). RIP you old chunk of coal.
'You're the biggest ass I've ever met.... And I love you for it.' - Conan and Letterman really loved Norm. He's such a likeable guy. I remember Artie calling the Howard Stern show because some idiot was telling lies about Norm. I am binge-watching Norm videos...again.
"Do something with that you freak"
Norm: *does something with that* 😂
And that wasn't scripted. Most things said on talkshows are rehearsed but Norm is a true gem. He just says whatever he wants and it's always witty and funny.

Norm gave her a HUGE BOOST,,, 😊 Great guy.
She couldn't help but laugh!
If there were such a thing as winning comedy, that would be a contender.
I love how Conan usually tries to laugh at everything but with Normal was the other way around, he tried to contain himself until completely losing it
Conan was single back then. He was trying to get them walls.
"I took crystal meth"
Holy @#$% there was never, and will never be anyone else like Norm MacDonald. Beautiful
Watching videos of Norm over and over again, never gets old. He was a special kind of funny.
Absolute master. Get your hands on his full-length specials and a blunt but be warned -- you might die laughing! 😂

“Gone but not forgotten.”
There’s an understatement.

Conan trying not to laugh at a joke about sexually assaulting your unconscious wife is my favorite part.
"Why didn't you bring out the G string?" LMAO!!
The ‘Chairman of the Bored’ joke is such fast thinking and perfect comedy 👏👏👏
Conan really thought Norm would be stumped.
@@barringtonfisher87 it did seem like he was genuinely floored that Norm came up with something so perfect so quickly 🤣
Norm was so proud of himself. Rightfully so
Instead of merely repeating the hang gliding joke, Norm makes it funnier.
Think Letterman appreciated it more the second time as well lol!
Much funnier and he didn't have to tell it either, what a genius
@@einar7163 Exactly!
I honestly think Norm bullshits so much that he didn't remember what Dave was talking about
@@lizardmandx The only part he bullshited was pretending he didn't remember the hang gliding joke which is brilliant.
When norm explains the obvious it makes itveven funnier !😂😂
Explain the joke to the folks at home
The B-O-R-E-D joke he came up within a few seconds is much better than 99% of the scripted jokes nowadays

Guarantee it was funnier than anything in the Carrot Top film.
I probably seen this chairman of the board clip over a hundred times and I laugh everytime
Absolutely No Drinking on Conan at all to help 😂😂😂
I love Norm because he’s says the stuff most think but would never have the nerve or tact to say.
"9 1/2 Weeks, but with Carrottop" cracked me up.
Courtney deserves a lot of credit for being funny and a good sport during this. It’s too bad this is what she’s best known for.
Norm makes Letterman funnier when he’s around him. The feed off each other so well

When Norm said Box office Poison, you can see Andy Richter die laughing
Dave’s legit trying to keep it together for the meth bit. He’s just like oh boy…
Norm’s unpredictability was something amazing.
Norms a beauty! Both Dave and Conan loved him as a guest.
“Oh was that it?” 😂😂
Norm blind siding Letterman with the "I took crystal meth" comment killed me 😂
All time hilarious moment!
Letterman was a fool for thinking Norm was predictable, even for a moment. 🤣

I agree. I don’t know anything about her but she does seem really cool here on Conan.
She was a great sport and seemed to be having a great time.
She's said in interviews she knew the movie was crap and didn't mind Norm riffing on it at all.

Did you save the receipt?
Did he perform. I'm thinking he had to cancel? He must have been in his end stage two weeks before.

Comedians like Norm will never be "gone" from our lives. Like all the greats, his stuff never gets old, and you feel the laughter in your gut.
Chairman of the Board had a budget of 7 million, and only made 300,000. Box office poison indeed
"Bored" lol
"Do something with that pal"... Chairman of the "Bored". BOOM!

Sad. It was an excellent film with an Oscar winning performance from carrott top
