RIP Norm. I'm sure you're serving a 'youthful porpoise' somewhere in heaven.

[myself_yuvraj]

Conan's uncontrollable laughter during Norm McDonald's segments is one of the memories I never want to forget.

[RadicalValkyrie]

I loved that glint in Norm MacDonald's eyes. It was cheeky and adorable.

[hanlonn]

Norm was such a polite Canadian -- he went out of his way to make sure everyone knew that Andy Richter the Swedish-German doesn't go for that funny stuff either!

[therewasadisaster]

Conan really loved Norm.
They had the best interactions.

[bfishryuhayabusa]

When you say Norm was taking care of Courtney Thorne-Smith, I think that is exemplified by the "Box Office Poison" moment. He started to just blurt it out. If you pay attention, you hear "Bo-" before he restrained himself. And then he set up the joke to make sure everyone knew he was making fun of Carrot Top and not her. "If it's got Carrot Top in it..." That he recognized in such a quick moment that his quip could hurt her and immediately fixed it so that it wouldn't is kind of amazing.

[vimenyavsezaebali]

Between Conan and Letterman, Norm single-handedly provided the best 'off the rails experience' for either late night show and there was no stopping it, and everyone got sucked in. Rest easy Mr. Macdonald.

[SG-jrow]

Rest In Peace Norm. His appearances on your show were unrivaled. Such great chemistry and content from you all 👍🏻

[herbie]

Whenever I see a moth in a light I will take that as a signal from Norm

[titasantiniE]

Also, Larry King’s interview with Norm is wonderful. Norm shows his humanity, tenderness, values and his low key wit. His analysis of other “brainy” comics. His reverence for comedy. RIP

[MeguVusion]

Conan’s channel has become a digital time capsule for the best of Norm. We are eternally grateful for Conan and his team for doing this. Please, keep going. Keep the light on for Norm. ;)

[NASkeywest]

I could totally imagine Norm walking out onto Conans show and saying, “Conan? What are you doing here bud?”

[keego_keego]

The beauty of norm was that on late night the host is always in control (even if they pretend they’re not)
But when norm was on, the host was NEVER on control. Norm owned that piece of time . It was amazing in the controllled world of late night.

Fuxking love you Norm

[hannahfettig]

This entire conversation warms my heart. I remember watching the Courtney Thorne Smith Interview as a teenager live in my parent’s basement, on a small tv with terrible reception. It was the best thing I’d ever seen. When it surfaced on YouTube years later it meant so much to me to reconnect with that segment, and I would be embarrassed to find out how many times I have watched it. Now here it is 2021 and the whole world is talking about it, what a wild experience. It turns out these Norm segments meant a lot to so many! And the many yet to discover them.

[Fluffyudders]

It's true what he said about the 'generous' laugh and the 'true' laugh. The only two people I've seen to consistently make Conan really laugh - Norm, and Bill Burr.

[sichard.rimmons]

This is fking awesome. Of all the tributes coming out from comedians, this is the only one (the full podcast) that truly explores and articulates the amazing spirit that is Norm. You can really feel Conan’s love for him…it’s very special

[givesgoodcomment]

He's up in heaven with a Moth ordering Polish sausage from Hardware stores.
💔😢

I was 13-14 when Conan went on the air and Norm started hosting Weekend Update.

My comedy heroes.

[hughmungus]

Norm was easily Conan's greatest recurring guest, there will never be another. We love you Norm.

[noirettebeauty]

Norm Macdonald always was my favorite Weekend Update anchor. Twinkle in his eye indeed. Screwed was my favorite movie of his, I needed to rewatch it for the first time in years—such an underappreciated movie! He was a true comedian
