Norm Macdonald Returns to Television!

But in what context? I think what threw you is that you thought that Norm had cast aside his "stage persona" when talking to you off-stage. But suppose he wants to keep it on the entire time he's in the club; no matter where he goes in the club, his role is the performer. Same with on TV talk shows. In other words, it may not be a matter of genuine vs. non-genuine as much as whether you're Norm McDonald or "Norm McDonald."

I hate this show. I will not watch it next week. I feel betrayed. Especially since the last show he had in development (for CBS), which DIDN'T EVEN GET TO PILOT stage was an Odd Couple ripoff where he would have been paired with JON LOVITZ. NOW that would have been impossible to fuck up.
I even like Norm Macdonald's movies, which are very shitty. But I hate A MINUTE WITH STAN HOOPER.

but in defense of hooper, i was flipping back and forth between that and tv carnage volume two and nothing beats that Three's Company / scat montage. nothing.

Fuckin' Norm. I think he's the funniest guy, but sheesh, his "legit" stuff sucks.

dude needs more work. also, can't say this is surprising -
"However, on the January 2, 2008 episode of The O'Reilly Factor, Macdonald stated that he is "very pro-life, but against the death penalty". He also revealed that he supports John McCain for president in the 2008 US Presidential Election"

i was just thinking of him today cuz one of the episodes of fairly odd parents where he plays a genie was on . he should do more cartoon work. he plays norm the genie, of course.

Norm Macdonald returns to returning to television!!

Watched his new "Sports Show" last night. A little bit hit and miss, but 100% Norm. I think it'll warm up, he seems to enjoy himself.

This sketch he did with Blake Griffin was probably the highlight of the show and it's fucking hysterical imo

woot! Let's hope this show lasts longer than that Murray brothers golf show from a few years back (which was also awesome!)

I <3 Norm, he's like Mike Nelson, in that he keeps his politics out of his humour (although I don't think he's as conservative as ol' MJN).

I don't give a shit about sports at all but I laughed! Love Norm.

we've been talking about this on 77 just fyi

i dont understand what 77 is...
isnt like the ILX freemasons or water buffaloes or something?

you should join tbh

is there an audition

no Request Access to 77 Borad

:D

He was on Bill Simmons's podcast earlier this week and did an impression of Gordon Lightfoot singing "Maggie May". Tears.

I'd ask to go on 77 but I'm afraid of what I'd find there.

at this point it's mostly just ppl talking about going to the store or w/e the fuck

Oh. How's it for Canadians?

kind of bizarre - norm's fixation with cock.. i went to see him do standup last year and he spent 20 minutes of his act discussing a cock going into an ass - there was no joke no punchline, he just wanted to talk about it... he was drunk during that show and seems like he is drunk in this interview..

I saw him do 10 amusing mins in front of Sarah Silverman in LA last week. ("I'm not that strict a vegetarian. I eat pork... but no vegetables.")

I saw him to 2 hours last Friday. Very funny overall. He did the strict vegetarian bit and let it drag on a bit but it was pretty funny.

“And, finally, to bury the lede, TBS is also working with Norm Macdonald on an unscripted series called Norm Macdonald Is Trending that literally just sounds like a show where Norm Macdonald reads the Internet out loud to you. That… sounds pretty good, actually.”

Would watch that.

Would watch it, rewind it, and watch it again

Seriously. It could just be called Norm MacDonald Talks About Stuff and I'd be all over it.

watching this right now. haven't got to russell brand yet and i had to pause a few time when he talked about his weight , his doctor and what he ate. paused all over the place so i didn't break myself anything from laughing.

Fred Willard! They seemed to have fixed the sound this season starting with Carl Reiner. I love this, download the 720p from youtube and watch on tv.

What the hell is going on?

My point is pretty unassailable if you’ve spent five minutes on the aforementioned subreddits and YouTube comment sections

So that’s why it didn’t make sense

Anyway, thank you intheblanks

not saying you're wrong whiney im saying its a weird angle to insist on, its a small angle but insofar as it goes sure revisionism from youtube comments is a wild beast and whence it takes us none living can say

im not sure anybody misunderstood the point but it isnt afaict the discussion ppl were having?
