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.
"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.
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
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.
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.
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 😂😅
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
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.
@@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.
'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.
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 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.
Having norm on a show is like watching someone randomly get hit in the nuts, you don't want it to happen to you but you're gonna laugh. RIP Norm, you are sorely missed.
I looked up "Chairman of the Board" .... 13% on rotten tomatoes and 2 out of 10 IMDb rating. Norm was right 😂
😂
Chairman of the bored
Ahahaha!!!
Not to nitpick here but you should have included it’s box office numbers
@@humanwavetactic2668 tell the folks at home what box office numbers are
"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.
I can do Norm compilations forever 😂
Why is it you listen to him over and over and he's still funny wish I had the chance to see him in person
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.
I love how Conan is trying to be respectful of Courtney Thorne Smith but when Norm drops the "bored" line he completely loses it.
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
The more I read about this guy Norm MacDonald, the more I like him.
Definitely not a "real jerk"
Hold the fort...he died
Norm looks like he women's a dog house to me. 😊
Germans love him.
@@TheNewAmericanMedia Because he has a Dog House 😁
Norm: Why didn’t you bring out the Gstring? **sips coffee*
😂😂😂
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.
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! 😂
100% 😄👍
Box.Office.Poison 😂

The B-O-R-E-D joke he came up within a few seconds is much better than 99% of the scripted jokes nowadays
"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.

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

I went through something similar. I walked through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan to find my brother, we was in Northern Canada.
Who’s this guy Art ? and does he own a doghouse?
“Gone but not forgotten.”
There’s an understatement.
"...DOC, SHE'S CHOKING..." hahahahahahahh
Conan trying not to laugh at a joke about sexually assaulting your unconscious wife is my favorite part.
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?” 😂😂
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 🤣
Courtney Thorne Smith genuinely seems lovely and her laugh is contagious
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.

"I took crystal meth"
Holy @#$% there was never, and will never be anyone else like Norm MacDonald. Beautiful
"9 1/2 Weeks, but with Carrottop" cracked me up.
Norm had a lighting fast comeback: "I bet board is spelled B-O-R-E-D.
Norm makes Letterman funnier when he’s around him. The feed off each other so well
That’s Conan not letterman.. 😂
Lmao "I took crystal meth!!!"
Conan holding in his laugh when he knows the “she’s choking”punchline is coming. 😂
"Why didn't you bring out the G string?" LMAO!!
When Norm said Box office Poison, you can see Andy Richter die laughing
When norm explains the obvious it makes itveven funnier !😂😂
I love Norm because he’s says the stuff most think but would never have the nerve or tact to say.
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. 🤣
Norm stares at him after he says really soaking in how he was able to catch Dave by surprise
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 could not stop smiling through all of this. Even though I've seen it several times the "bored" joke gets me every time.
