Conan: *Describes the exact kind of joke Norm always tells* Norm: "I would never tell that kind of joke."

I like how it took him almost 4 minutes to tell a 10-second story about meeting Donald Trump for 2 seconds.

"Long white hair, white beard" just randomly inserting lies, man I love that

1:08 “You say that with irony but I say that with truth. I agree with you.” That was actually very sweet. They were the best talk show duo ever.

That was such a great Norm Macdonald impression lol

Conan's impression of Norm was perfect. :)

“He phoned 911 himself while having a heart attack, he was a very brave man” Conan’s look after he said that lmaoooo

Cardi-Yak arrest

And the punchline to Conan's joke is: _"Of course the donkey did it. How do you think my daughter lost her leg?"_

Norm was getting such a kick out of Conan's impression of him. That was genuine amusement on Norm's face. Love it.

Tribute to one of the greatest comedians of our generation. In his own words, his battle with cancer was a draw. “I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure that if you die, then the cancer also dies at the same time. “That to me is not a loss. That’s a draw.” RIP Norm...

Norm laughing at Conan imitating him was so wholesome.

every time either Norm or Bill Burr are on Conan it genuinely feels like an old friend swinging by my place with a drink and a good movie. STAY FOREVER NORM

Norm Macdonald is one of the funniest men alive. Very underrated. SNL couldn't handle him

Norm MacDonald was always "on." Dude never took a break from trolling and telling jokes. This would be the best person to have around at parties.

Nobody will ever deliver like Norm he was absolutely brilliant.

I like how his Carson joke bombed. Hilarious

I guess everyone forgot that Johnny Carson made constant references to yaks.

Since Norm's tragic death, I've watched so many videos of him and I'm still no where near done. I can't get enough of him

I can understand why Conan would be upset over Norms passing. You can tell Conan loved the guy.

Norm was on Fallon with Trump just in case anyone was wondering

Whenever Norm makes his rounds, I always find myself doing nothing but watching Norm for days.

"I shouldn't say stuff like that" hits different now. RIP

0:19 He always has a smile on his face, but when he finds something genuinely funny, he raises his eyebrows like that.

1:49 "No you haven't. I'm sure this young audience would love to see it". Conan is so quick witted!

Norm Macdonald is always great on Conan

you can see the respect in Norm's eyes when he says "no, sir"

Trump is saying to himself now, “I missed out on taking a photo with a legend.” RIP Norm

Conan did not want to be apart of that Carson joke.

Norm is one of a kind. Every time he's on the show, you can tell Conan and Andy genuinely have a blast whenever he's on.

Norm was great. Conan is great. Norm on Conan was legendary. Conan knew exactly how to conduct an interview with Norm. The world needed Norm. Late-night TV needs Conan back.

Macdonald: "Have I ever done my Johnny Carson impression for ya'?" Conan (sarcastically): "No, you haven't. And I'm sure this young audience would LOVE to see it." That was the funniest part.

Norm's Carson impression has stayed the same since 2000, verbatim, but it always kills.

I think the story of Trump walking away is better than getting the photo lol

*I could totally see Norm doing the exact same thing to someone else that Trump did to him. Not because he's rude, but because he's Norm. Saying he'll do something, then getting distracted and totally doing something else.* *Rest In Peace. Also, O.J. is still guilty.*

Norm with a Buster Keaton reference... unique in every way! Thanks for the years of laughs!

Trump lying to Norm is the worst thing he's ever done.

This was a classic Norm story, 4 minutes of this and that and it doesn't really amount to much, but the journey was still funny.

The fact that Norm can turn a 5 second meeting with a celeb into a hilarious ramble about nothing related really shows his genius

I love how he even turns an actual story into a prolonged joke

Conan and Norm: making great TV since 1992.

Nobody here talking about how good that Carson impression was, or how funny that joke was. So good

I can't believe Norm wasn't a final guest of Conan's. They always had the best chemistry and he has been coming on the show for so long.

The fact that he is wearing sneakers with a full suit is so on brand.

It feels like there's a yak on my chest! LMAO

Norm was one of the best. I always loved his humor. Rest in peace.

He must be getting all the ladies. Look how honest he is when he tells Conan at 1:15 that his talk show is the best. He looks right into his soul.

How sad… still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he’s no longer with us. R.I.P.

god man, the dynamic between these two was magical. Every time Norm had an appearance on any of Conan's shows through the years, he always produced the best "late-night talkshow guest interview" content anywhere, on any network, against any other late night show, period. Conan brought the best out of Norm, and their chemistry worked perfectly together. Some of Norm's best and widely known jokes (like the moth joke, which was totally improvised by Norm on the spot) came out of a Conan appearance. I just wish we had so much more content with these two guys (plus Andy, of course) together, but hey, at least we have comedy gold recorded for us to watch.

Was this norm with cancer? His smile and pure joy to be making people laugh is so inspiring and evident that he loves his craft so much… what a great comedian

The best part of Norm's impressions is that he never changes his voice! It lands

I'm sad that it took Norm dying for me watch through these clips and appreciate his style of appearing with Conan. The long, rambling jokes and stories he's almost-certainly making up on the spot to just to waste time, but it's still funny! What a treasure. Kinda reminds me of Paul Rudd always showing that same clip on his Conan appearances.

I tell you, if Conan is stopping Norm from telling another Moth Joke, I am giving up on his show!

conan is soo good at impersonating Norm :D

RIP Norm. Been watching a few of your clips recently and feel like I just discovered your talent.

I love you so much Norm. This was too soon and too big a blow to all of our hearts. May you rest in peace. I love you. ❤️

RIP Norm. You were the best guest on this show ever! ❤️❤️❤️

The similarities between Norm and Chadwick passing are heartbreaking. Both died of cancer and kept it a secret until the very end. Still they managed to give us so many legendary moments and performances. Rest in peace to both 🌹

00:40 'But the ending...' Norm was about to explain that no matter how long he rambles during a joke, he ALWAYS ALWAYS has a GENIUS and solid punchline that makes the previous 5 minutes worthwhile and all the more hilarious.

That Carson joke was actually hilarious for those of us who remember him.

0:58 True Conan... true... You are the best, keep up being awesome and awkward.

but 9/11 was a national tragedy

RIP, Norm. But, hopefully, LONG LIVE CONAN. (Pretty, pretty please).

I love seeing Norm actually laughing at someone else. Conan's impersonation of Norm really made him laugh. Of course, he was basically laughing at himself, sooo....

Conan and Norm played off of each other so well.

They are JUST TOO GOOD TOGETHER!

Only Conan, Dennis Miller, and Letterman understood how to conduct an "interview" with the great Norm MacDonald.

Norm's genuine enjoyment of Conan's impression of him is so endearing. We miss you Norm 😭😭😭😭😭

I've been waiting for Norm to make another appearance on Conan for the longest. Never disappoints.

RIP an absolute legend. Gone but never forgotten.

“Well sir, I’m gonna hang up on you now” 💀😂

he has a farm and a goat comes by is a perfect set up for a joke

RIP Norm. The best of its kind

2:23 That look Conan gives. Gets me everytime.

I find myself watching a few Norm clips every day now. Like Farley, I don’t think I’ll ever get over this one either. RIP brother.

2:35 sums him up so well. The epitome of “why aren’t you guys laughing?”

I have been binging on all Norm McDonald videos for the past 3 weeks and wanted to see him live. I had no idea he was ill. I am so sad. He was so funny. RIP

hahahahahaha. 0:10 in " Is this a true story?" Conan knows that with norm u can never be too sure

1:08 incredibly warm moment from Norm here. Very rare for it to happen.

SO much of the humor in Norm's storytelling/jokes is in his eyes - they're incredibly expressive

I miss him so much, Norm was my favorite stand up along with Chappelle. And even dead he is still just as funny.

0:19 Norm lifting his eyebrows while laughing means he truly found it hilarious.

"He phoned 911" "You mean nine one one, not nine eleven" "Well it was a national tragedy"

I watch this every month or so. This whole interview was amazing. Conan and norm have such good chemistry.

Norm reminds me of Mohamed Ali... both have that cheeky grin

Norm has been one of my favorite guests on all Conan shows through out the years. He's always unpredictable.

i'm not the jealous type, but by god I've always been jealous of the people in this audience, and I was lucky enough to go to three tapings of this show over the years. always hoping I would be there when Norm was there. 💔 would have been like hitting the jackpot.

RIP Norm, you giant. We'll love you and remember you fondly always. Such a sad, sad time for comedy.

He's told that Carson joke so many times lmao

What a terrible loss yesterday. Nobody had any idea what he was going through till it was over. Nobody could tell a joke that was going absolutely nowhere and make it funny as hell like Norm Macdonald could. RIP Norm 1959-2021.

I met Donald Trump back around 1999 outside of a movie premiere on the upper west side. I wanted to take a photo with him but he was running late for the film, so he just went inside, and I never saw him in person again. There were dozens of stars there and so much paparazzi that I couldn't get close enough to even ask him. The only photo I got was of him going up the escalator. Around the same time, give or take a year, I met Norm McDonald outside of the Ed Sullivan side door, which at the time was the studio for Late Night with David Letterman. Norm was also running late, and had to run inside without stopping to take a photo with fans. But I believe it was his wife who came out and said that Norm apologized that he couldn't stop to take photos, but that would come back out after the taping to do so. And he was true to his word. I was with my friend Dave and about three of his friends, and Norm came out some hours later and took a bunch of pics with us and was joking around and made sure everyone was happy. He pretended to fall over on us and was singing this funny song. Over the span of about three years , say 98 - 01, I met literally hundreds of celebrities as I was into collecting autographs and taking photos with them, (and if I were lucky I'd get to have a conversation with them), but Norm was definitely in the top 1% of the nicest celebrities I'd met. He certainly did not have to come back outside and stop to take photos with fans (the crowd that stuck around numbered about 10 people in total), but he liked and appreciated his fans and had such humility in person, which really added to his greatness, and I am forever grateful that I got to meet him, even if it was only for about six or seven minutes.

Its crazy he talked heart to heart with conan not knowing how much time he had left

That was a hilarious and kinda accurate Carson impression

Rest In Peace Norm.

This video just made my top 20 of Conan interviews. Thank you

I’m not old enough to have watched Carson. Perfect impression!

I love the fact, he knew that he was dying, but still brought the comedy.

lmao "long white hair, white beard""

when i watched Norm do the Correspondent's Dinner, i finally got him. used to irritate me, then i saw the bravery and charm. glad people have finally found Norm, even if it's post-humously.

i laughed so hard when he said 'i feel like ive got a yak on my chest,' lmfao how hard that bombed
