Sometimes I wasn't sure if he wasn't Burt. Maybe they were twins, separated at birth. No, no, cause Burt was born pre-WWII, and Norm definitely Boomer.
I thought it was Burt Reynolds the 1sr time I saw one of these sketches (way back when). I was halfway through before it dawned on me that Burt wasn't the host, that's when it hit me that it was Norm doing one of the best impressions ever!
He was hit and miss on the show. I know the guy's gone and he was a true talent. But he just didn't always shine on SNL. Also, the modern version has a lot of funny people but it's also hit and miss. SNL can be brilliant. It can be bad. And that extends to everyone that's ever been part of the cast, even the greats.
for real, will ferrell doesnt get enough credit for not laughing every single time. all the other characters are always more ridiculous so he gets overlooked but very few people (nobody) could play trebek so well.
I loved the story of Norm pitching the idea of playing Burt on Jeapordy. They were putting together a white wig for the current at the time Burt and every other celebrity was was made up at their at the time age, but Norm said “no, I want to do seventies Burt!” 😂

One of the things I loved about Norm was after he delivered a punchline to some terrible joke, or was in the middle of an endless ''shaggy dog'' story, he would look at his ''victim'' and his eyes would just twinkle with glee, lol. You can see it in these skits. RIP buddy
Man, that is spot on and almost a spitting image of Mr Reynolds from Smokey and the bandit. Give this man a Pontiac Trans Am 1977… 🎶Westbound and down, 18 wheels a-rollin'🎶 Rip Norm McDonald
Norm is so damn funny, I didn't realize how popular this man was. All I knew about him was from I watched on youTube starting around 2013-14 or so. And I knew nothing about the guy except I seen those SNL videos of him portraying Burt Reynolds and I was amazed how he looked and talked like the Burt. But after his passing I noticed all the fans he obviously had and started watching his videos from his channel on youTube and subscribed to it. And one thing I ab-so-lute-ly love about the guy is his HONESTY! So, I'm a fan of his for my lifetime!
Burt liked it so much, he actually wanted to be on one of the sketches, where he would beat up Norm, then take the podium and end up being even DUMBER. It's too bad they never got to do that sketch.
Totally my kind of humor! Anybody else with me? Don’t feel you have to be in the shadows it’s pretty sad stick hilarious if you ask me in Canada! I hope he entertains people up there in heaven.
People will be laughing at this for hundreds of years. We’ve all watched it countless times, but still belly laugh at most of the quips. What a great video. ❤️
My buddies & I caught a couple of these sketches w/ Norm as Burt Reynolds at least twice while we were high… I swear we didn’t stop laughing for hours - long after SNL already finished! 🤣
When you watch this stuff you realize that he was one of the most underrated performers in the show's history because he was with an amazingly talented cast during the '90s. If today's cast was transported to the '90s and replaced Darrell Hammond, Will Ferrell, etc. but not Norm, Norm would absolutely dominate them.

I love the fact he basically uses the character of Little Chubby from My Name is Earl. Which is the son of the character Chubby, played by Burt Reynolds.
all i see is burt reynolds doing an impression of burt reynolds

Does he nail it
I think what confuses people is, it's Burt Reynolds doing an impression of Norm doing an impression of Burt.

The impersonation was spot on, but I’m amazed how much he LOOKS like Reynolds!
I thought it was Burt Reynolds the 1sr time I saw one of these sketches (way back when). I was halfway through before it dawned on me that Burt wasn't the host, that's when it hit me that it was Norm doing one of the best impressions ever!
Ehhhh that's your opinion
They played father and son in My Name Is Earl
@@HeatyFrog I just found it on YT. Hilarious!
Took the word's right outta my mouth!
Firing Norm Macdonald was the stupidest thing SNL ever did, and that's saying something.
SNL hasnt been funny in 20 years, Norm breathed life into it.
Ya too bad hes not firing most of the modern day people
He was hit and miss on the show. I know the guy's gone and he was a true talent. But he just didn't always shine on SNL. Also, the modern version has a lot of funny people but it's also hit and miss. SNL can be brilliant. It can be bad. And that extends to everyone that's ever been part of the cast, even the greats.
not frying OJ was the stupedist thing
Imagine if OJ was actually found guilty. Norm would still be on that show today and never developed cancer
How the audience doesnt laugh that hard at Norm just casually going "yeah who gives a damn" to Fallon is beyond me.
Sean Connery "Pick Shhwords". Burt Reynolds "Yeah, give me Swords". It's S-WORDS! S-WORDS!🤣🤣🤣
Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery made these skits great!
“ I remember he had a pal. Scrappy Doo “ 😂
What's funny is his Scooby-Doo answer was technically right as Scooby-Doo did reference his own name as a catch phrase multiple times and was a dog.
Except he said Who is Scooby Doo. If he said What is Scooby Doo then yes he would have been 😏
@@KDC41 that doesn't seem to be a problem. The recent guy always says what is, no matter what lol
naaahh that's correct
“You know something Alex…I think he’s right”
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Thank you Norm!
Norm Macdonald was one of the funniest human beings to ever walk this planet.
He was modest too. He told Jerry Seinfeld that he could only imitate Richard Nixon. He killed as Burt Reynolds, just nailed it.
Abso f in lutely !!!!!!
Yes he was🥁🥁🥁
I thought Putin was...
Norm absolutely nailed Burt’s mannerisms. It’s spot on.
He was certainly a bright star amongst many dull ones. He is terribly missed. RIP Norm.
It's amazing how Will Ferrell NEVER broke character!!
He probably got it all out in dress rehearsals
@G B Turd Ferguson will smite thee
So much hate. Holy shit, not in RUclips comments! But I totally agree. They worked together perfectly
@G B It was hilarious!
@@robapple78 Yes I know, so unexpected and out of character for RUclips. I'm aghast.
Wow, McDonald really nailed Burt. He looks like him and captured his essence. Perfection.
He and Darrel Hammond were great on these shows. Still can't believe how Ferrell always could keep a straight face on every single show.
Hammond's Clinton was legendary.
Hammond was a hack
Phil Hartman!
@@MarkMcDaniel Especially the one where he said it would be ridiculous to imagine a female flasher; in Clinton voice, he said "y'all take Visa?"
Right? How the hell did he not bust out laughing? This is when SNL was funny.
Lmfao at his fixation with Andre the Giant
RIP Norm. You were one of a kind, hilarious and will be missed for years to come. You’re already missed now.
I don't know who Norm is. This video is about the famous Turd Ferguson
Are you talking to me?
@@BoloBouncer yeah, don’t bother I didn’t write anything.
We really do watch the same shit lol.
Turd Ferguson was trending the day Norm passed. Awesome tribute to the legend and these ridiculous sketches.
How will Ferrell never broke character and didn't laugh was unbelievable....
how Norm didnt break form and bust out laughing over his own stupidity is even more unbelievable
for real, will ferrell doesnt get enough credit for not laughing every single time. all the other characters are always more ridiculous so he gets overlooked but very few people (nobody) could play trebek so well.
I feel like Ferrell did break when the hat was put on him.
Will ferrel has some wild segments in different shows, i think he was well trained for that
it's called editing

He tanked at a roast on purpose out of respect for Bob Saget. What a God.

The Best Burt without a doubt.
Spot on Burt Reynolds impression.
This was some of Norm's best work. RIP old boy.

This is perhaps one of the best videos I've ever seen. Norm's version of Burt Reynolds is untouchable

A true king of comedy, I miss his charm
He looked so much like Burt. It's all in the eyebrows. He pulled his arrogance off perfectly. Stay cool Norm, we will call you a genius in 10 years.
I've been calling him a genius for the last ten years
When he was younger and thinner in the face he looked too effeminate but he actually grew into character as norm got older and got a fuller face.
"Stay cool norm"? You realize he passed away right?

I love both these men, Norm and Bert! Perfect imitation!
When you watch this stuff you realize that he was one of the most underrated performers in the show's history because he was with an amazingly talented cast during the '90s.
If today's cast was transported to the '90s and replaced Darrell Hammond, Will Ferrell, etc. but not Norm, Norm would absolutely dominate them.
Norm was not uNdErRaTeD, he was ostracized... just because you started to pay attention to him only after he died, it doesn't mean he wasn't cherished at all.
Norm fans are some of the best people in social media and they never stop caring and appreciating Norm after he was fired, pre-Internet.
I love the fact he basically uses the character of Little Chubby from My Name is Earl. Which is the son of the character Chubby, played by Burt Reynolds.
Other way round. This was done first as far as i know, and probably the reason he got cast as Burt Reynolds son for Earl.
We only appreciate these people once they're gone.
Rip norm thanks for all the memories
You can tell when norm McDonald goes off script, because will Ferrell looks confused and or tries not to lose it.
Not many can out Ferrell Will and I don't usually see Ferrell one-uped so much.
