The metamorphosis of Norm being an unknown comic to becoming Daves favorite guest and colleague Is beautiful to watch.

The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you’re not careful it’s too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth. -Norm Macdonald

During the snow storm, Dave had Norm on standby in case any guest bailed. What an honor to be Dave’s go-to guy!

You can tell Dave loved Norm immediately

I like to think he is out there still, unable to make it to us because of the snow storm… I certainly wish he was here. Great memories of understated brilliance leading to surprise laughter; what a talent and gift:)…

Thank you to David letterman for bringing us such comedy gold as often as possible. RIP Norm, you and Dave were amazing together ❤

“That’s the whole story” What a great story he was. Thanks Norm

Sorry, I just cracked up for 5 minutes because Norm was telling his taking a homeless guy to dinner routine, got sidetracked on to something totally different and then brings it back 360 to finish his homeless guy's story, and Dave simply kills it, and Norm just slides along with it. To leave your ego at the door like that . .. beautiful.

When Norm Macdonald laughs he seems like a fan just watching and enjoying the show - even though he is a guest. He just loved Dave.

Let’s all just acknowledge, GOD DAM HE WAS A HANDSOME MAN

Letterman understands norm and his sense of humor so well and knows exactly how to play off him to make it even funnier such joy seeing this ❤

I love the look that Norm gives when he tells a stupid joke and Dave one-ups him. Such love.

It's very touching watching Dave fall in love with Norm over the course of his many appearances. Also fun to watch the evolution of his name from Norm MacDonald to Norm MAC-Donald.

When saying good bye to Norm..."We'll be right back with The Ramones" ....wow, the Golden Age of TV!

If Norm was the only guest on Letterman,i wouldn't complain.

I'm a vet and the cat story cracks me up - 'it's like on ER' and 'he's like a doctor but not a real doctor' 😂 RIP Norm, you were the greatest.

You either get Norm or you don't. I believe Norm is a top 5 of all time top 10 at the least, his stories are pure gold.

"The beer was playing the water" is one of the most underrated catches of all time

In all candor and honesty, it is so hard to watch Norm and not tear up - we lost the GREATEST comedian ever! He was truly the GOAT. 😢 RIP Norm

Can't belive he's gone. What an underrated talent. RIP norm, helped me realize alot

Norm was just a lovable fella. Rest in Paradise young man! You have made millions and millions happy.

Thank you Don for this collection. You've given us pure gold.

Norm is the greatest to me. Evertytime Im down, he puts a huge smile on my face. I hope to one day shake his hand and thank him

This is so great I've got a huge smile on my face! I was beginning to think there was no new old footage of Norm or that it was always going to look like a dog's breakfast. Thank you Don Giller!

In the last clip, I noticed there's a difference in the way Norm tells the Larry Flynt story to Conan vs Letterman. I feel like with Letterman, Norm saw him as more of a mentor and therefore didn't push the boundary as much around him. Letterman also quickly remarked "ok Norm.." hinting him to stop when he started imitating Larry Flynt. Meanwhile on Conan's show, he did that impression like three times (and it was hilarious). Shows that Norm Macdonald had a deep appreciation and respect for Letterman

We studied Norm’s technique at the University of Science.

I always like how you could tell how much Dave liked people. When he had Norm or Chris Elliot on, it was clear he truly enjoyed it.

is anyone gonna mention Dave’s badass pencil flip trick right at the beginning 0:14 he didn’t even look at it and caught it perfect!

5:18 Letterman really just pulled the Norm's classic "Where do you get all your material?" on that poor kid

This guy puts a perma-smile on me the whole vid.. I mean my cheeks were hurting (not my butt cheeks talking about my face) we sure will miss you norm.

Five parts. Can't wait. You're the man, don!

Thanks for uploading. I love me some Norm!!

"I wanna ride in a spaceship as much as the next guy..." :v LOL only Norm could turn the Hale-Bop comet and Heaven's Gate cult castration into a bit...love you Norm, RIP...

Thank you very much for doing this. :)

i thought i have watched every norm comp but this is new ..thanx

Thanks so much for uploading and organizing this series, man. I really appreciate all your hard work!!!!!

Priceless! thank you so much for these!

Dave loved Norm off of the start and he wanted to push him into the limelight as much as he could.

Norm’s ‘sick cat’ story kills me every time. Such a simple, silly idea but he makes it hilarious in that way only he could do.

45:16 - The surprise from Norm is genuine; he was assured by Late Show employees that Dave wouldn't ask for the impression.

I know he was nervous and felt put on the spot but I really wish Norm had done "Uh, got any gum?!" during his Dave impression. That was the best part of that SNL sketch.

whoever put these all together is a legend!!! thanks

Rest in peace Norm, will miss you so much

An invaluable compilation, thank you for all your effort!

You know you're a devoted fan when you reconstruct a video of his fall. :D Great job! Wonderful! Thank you so much for these uploads!

This is new to me and I've been looking for " new Norm" for years!! Thank you

Master of storytelling. I see now his genius, as a deadpan master of delivery, and his ability to draw out these non-sensical stories..

These clips are amazing you can literally see their friendship growing over the years mutual respect and love

Thanks for posting!!🙏🙏🙏

holy crap holy crap holy crap, YOU'RE THE BEST, DON

Haven't come back to these since norm died. I still can't get over it, he pulled the ultimate norm move just disappearing like he always did. I truly loved norm, it hurt hearing the news, he was so under appreciated despite the outpouring of love the man cemented a place in comedy paralleled by very few others. I hope norm gets the last laugh and gets to tell oj that murder is in fact only legal in the state of California but still frowned upon up there.

Norm : 'Everybody hated my guts !' Dave : 'That's discouraging.' Norm : 'and it turns out that 9-1-1 is just for people, not cats.'

Thanks Don , your collections are terrific & time saving , nice job!

The chemistry between these two comedians is tremendous. Norm really loved Dave and I think Dave felt the same way. Watching two of the most intellectual, talented comics interact is sure joy. RIP Norm, so grateful for you making the most of your time here and sharing it with the rest of us.

Oh... so that's where the Kimmel/Damon bit comes from!

Ever notice something about Norm? He not only told the joke, and one of the funniest parts of his humor was the delivery, but he so often showed how much HE ENJOYED it when someone he was talking too, or an interviewer such as Dave, got involved and enjoyed the joke WITH HIM. So he was like the comic that wanted to enjoy the comedy WITH YOU. He told the joke WITH YOU not just TO you--he brought you in to be PART of the joke with him. That's what I think was a huge part of his appeal. We were more a part of his comedy than just observers of it. He really had a genuine love for laughing WITH you. Very unique personality and so likeable you wanted to invite him in. He made you trust him while you enjoyed him. Would've made a great used car salesman (I suspect he'd appreciate that comment.) Thank goodness for videos like these, we can laugh and enjoy this for a long time still. Excellent job editing all this together. I'm in SEVERE PAIN I'm laughing so hard!! Awesome. 🤣😂😆 ~JSV

That poor man has been snowed in so many times.

Thanks Don, I get it now! I get why random people can make people "KZfaq famous." it's because they enjoy their content to the point that it makes em happy to see a new upload. And Don I enjoy your content. Thank you.

Love to watch Dave and Norm! I'm not sure Dave ever laughed harder than those times with Norm. 🥰❤

What an incredible collection. I read your back story, as well. Mind blowing, man! Awesome job. 👍👍

Good job, Don. These are great!

Thanks Don

there is love between this guys, lovely to see them.

Norm's ability to be permanently charming and hilarious will never be replicated.

I find his laugh and dimples so cute omg

Great compilation x

Bless you, Don. May you live to be a hundred.

57:47 I like how Dave trying to handle norm by saying "Alright norm" 😭

Thank you for sharing, rest easy Norm

I can watch these segments all day. I used to watch Dave when I was a kid and still enjoy this over the new stuff. Thanks Don! I hope he invites Norm to his Netflix show

Norm passed away today and I cried. Love you Norm. ❤️

I have spent all of quarantine watching norm. Very grateful for corona for having led me to this great man

Dave put Norm on the hot seat to do his impression of himself 😂 so damn funny 😂

Damn I'm for real crying and laughing, my blood pressure has been never better! Norm is one of the best ever!

Some of these appearances on Letterman are solid gold and I'm sorry I missed them. I even remember winter 96 but I missed that whole running gag.

Detail my friend, detail. Thanks for showing the other angle of Norm crashing into the orchestra.

Norms jokes from then have still yet not all been uncovered 25 yrs later what a comedic code talking Legend, Norm is a Gift that keeps on giving a true historical barb & bard king

RIP To the greatest talk show guest. EVER

Holy shit the snowstorm gag is hilarious, I'd never seen that.

The way Dave spoke to the late great Norm is very enduring…… like a father figure …… when hits some of those jokes he laughs with a look of being proud of him!…. It’s really sweet…… to the see the evolution is like a story book….. and its probably is the greatest finale for a story with y norm knowing that was his last time with his papa David ( since Norm lost his father decades ago) and killing it with his final standup routine and ending beautifully by saying he loves him! David was in tears watching his son doing David’s old set from the 1970s…. Word for word! …… what a tribute!!! it was from his heart and of course David who is extremely intelligent and has a huge heart …appreciated that much more then some phony tv award …… David losing Norm hit him very hard….. equivalent to losing a real son……. 🙏🏼😔….. thank you Don for these incredible Borm compilation videos! Beautifully edited and amazing quality!…. This means a lot to us fans! More then u know!….🫵🏻🏆

I watched pt. 1 and just watched pt. 2 up to the end of "bump week" and I gotta say, watching Norm's growth from stand up, to being an actual guest and now included in a running gag... It just really makes his emotional final stand up appearance even more heartfelt if that was even possible. It's insane how easily it is to get down a Norm MacDonald rabbit hole for hours on end on You Tube.

What an honor it has been to have lived with these guys providing smiles and laughs. God bless you all and enjoy the ride.

He was my favorite comedian, Genius and a great guy! RIP Norm. We love and miss you. My prayers are with You and your family!

Don, so glad the channel is back in action. These Norm collections are gold!

Thanks so much again!!

I’m 23 so I was born after these interviews aired. I was introduced to Norm after he passed away and have been binge watching all his content. It’s sad that I did not get to know his work while he was still with us but I’m grateful we had the chance to have such awesome comedian. RIP norm

Norm would always come on with that mischievous grin on his face. I just loved him, still do!

I remember watching this as a kid back in the day. RIP NORM

Letterman just seems to _get_ Norm from the start; two incredibly ironic, self-deprecating guys just absolutely WASTING network time. it's wonderful stuff. thank you, Don.

"I dont know a lot of words" should have been my high school quote

Jesus Christ, Norm really was shockingly hot. A beautiful man.

you're doing Gods work Don

you can tell Letterman loved Norm pretty much from the start

I didn't know Kimmel ripped off Letterman with this gag. Huh... well if you rye up off someone, might as well be one of the best , with the best comedian of all time.

Rest in Peace, Fred...I'll miss ya but will often smile because of you

Anyone else was just gonna watch ten minutes and watched the whole hour?

I only just found Norm...THRU U TUBE SHORTS!?! I never thought shorts could be so great! Watching his podcasts, the last Netflix special...I LOVE this guy. My partner does too. We're loving it.

"He says to me he says to me he says" How CUTE was that man? God, I miss him
