In this interview, Norm kinda looked down on his podcast but little did he know how great it actually turned out. For me, NML is one of the best talk shows ever. He said he never earned money from it but I wish he did set up like a patreon at that time.

Can't believe I never saw this. Finding a Norm interview that is unknown to me is better than Christmas. It's like going on a mundane walk and finding a gemstone in the mud.

One of my favorite Norm interviews. Love Norm and Tom together.

I appreciate how deferential and laid back Tom Green is. I’ve only ever seen podcasts of his featuring Norm, but recognise Tom’s awareness and humility in how he influences the direction and tempo of things very astutely and with no illusions about trying to have some edgy back and forth with Norm, we’re he seeks to draw praise for his ability to ‘go the distance’ with Norm for 15 rounds. Tom’s understanding that he is best served removing Norms mouth guard between rounds, squirting water in his mouth and mopping up excess sweat and blood as required represents the greatest contribution he can make & you realise he’s ‘good people’.

My favourite thing about this is the people in the background laughing at literally everything norm says

Machiavelli's The Doughnut Prince. LOL. Thank you for that.

After watching all of these guest appearances with Norm on different programs here on KZfaq. I've noticed that he has created a style of stand up involving an interviewer. He plays off the interviewer in a way to craft the joke he wants to tell as he thinks of it. I'm sure he prepares things too of course, but his ability to respond so quickly with his wit to anything thrown at him is a true craft to witness.

Damn! Norm was really tearing into Hilary Clinton xD f'n love it! lmao wish he was still around to trash that can xD

Norm is just dominating this interview it’s great 👍 Tom even says at one point towards the end “you know this is an interview - it’s me conducting an interview here” lol said in good fun tho tom is cool for just letting him go

tom always looks like his career is about to end

Thank you very much for uploading this!

Its actually crazy and amazing how great of a host and interviewer Tom Green is

Never seen this before. Glad i happened upon it. Tom green on Norms show is my favorite episode of Norm MacDonald live.

29:51 - ALL THE STARS ARE HERE

Tom trying to ever so discretely set Norm up to ‘do his thing’ while Norm flirts with alienating him from many/most/all of his support base and commercial benefactors is a thing of beauty. The best analogy that springs to mind would be combing the disciplines of: 1. flute based ‘snake charming’. A practice synonymous with life on the subcontinent. 2. The primarily Western-Hemispheric toward wrangling Gaia’s most cunning and potent reptiles with a view to milking in support of various commercial ends aka anti-venom. Then combining these 2 seemingly disparate/counter-intuitive bedfellows with little to no notice because you need this & you got this & your one of Gods creatures. Of course Norm is so acutely aware of the delicate balance Tom’s seeking to maintain so we kicks his bit off with this quintessentially Norm posture of ‘to what extent should I ease into things by shitting on Mark Cuban. (Who…. quick sidebar, by all accounts is A REAL JERK) Of course no such discourse occurs in real terms, but both know Norm can snap Tom like a twig anytime he wants. What he’s cheekily seeking to determine is: is Tom Green smart enough to ‘take a proverbial knee’ allowing Norm Smith to do his thing in or will he gain some insight into what Beatrix Kiddo experienced when she had the arrogance to counter Pai-Mei’s *Eagle style* with her own blonde, Caucasian chicks interpretation of Tiger style (Ie. a sloppy, half rat powered mess). Tom makes every possible indication he can suggesting, please don’t go down this road Norm, I appreciate I’m not worthy. *meanwhile, Norm is just chill as fuck, (hood fully deployed) distinct gleam in his eye, whilst vibing on some old school, Gujurati, snake-charming anthem, whilst baiting Tom via osmosis. ‘Ya want me to bite ya? Should i bite ya?’ Tom: (also via osmosis) ‘Please NO, Norm!! I need this, I’m begging you!! Cobra-Norm: *Head swaying from side to side*, rapidly tasting the air seemingly non-stop to identify any airborne markers Tom may have released indicating a hint of duplicity or contempt. Despite being certain Tom hasn’t sold out and understands his place on the comedy totem pole, Norm proceeds to make it abundantly clear where the balance of power is by announcing: 1. You’re coming up clean. 2. You strike me as a great kid 3. We grew up just a few streets from each other. Norm: ‘Look I’m prepared to let you off the hook if you understand I’ve bitten dudes for much, much less

29:55 they’re in shock that norm watches their stuff. There was an actress at a Canadian awards event that Norm hosted, he shouted her out on stage and she was taken back as well!

5:13 Who's gonna feed them hogs.

Tom rarely disagrees (opening segment). Very rarely disagrees. When Norm starts with "I'm angry as hell and I'll tell you why!!!" Tom's consistently like "Okay." i.e. He'll not put up any resistance. -but meekly comply. The two work as well together as any two I've ever seen - it's always an honor to see Tom and Norm share the stage/screen - we always win. .

This was really great to see. Haven’t seen this.

Still talked about in dorm rooms and big 4 firms to this day.

new one for me! Wahoo. Thanks.

I like the way Tommy' Green laughs. Its like literally a Hah!.. Hah! 😄

Norm looks younger! Glad to she he didn't turn into Machiavelli!

This will be a fond memory to have when Norm goes.

Looking back, the clues about his battles with cancer are everywhere, including his mentioned obsession with death. I can't believe I never made the link.

I GOT FIRED HAHAHAHHAHAHAH THAT LOOK

Love Tom Green and I respect the new mature attitude but you have to mix it up. Don't have to go old school off the rails. Just find some of that edge again.

I love Norm so much

Peopled are amused with suits and nice stages. I'd much prefer Norm in a flannel interviewing people in a bare room.

Great call from Corner.

25:19 The fucking nose looks like a nose!

When did Tom become so censored and afraid of subjects? That’s what separates norm from others I think. He’s willing to go unpaid to say what’s on his mind. Usually

fantastic. I love you norm.

I hope there’s an option upon leaving this World and reacclimatising to the ethereal plane to go and hang out with Ghost Norm and vie with other newly disembodied Norm groupies to form part of his entourage and get about the metaphysical realm alternating between pissing my ghost pants in hysterics and fervently seeking Ghost Norms approval.

free not to think about death, or dogs

How do i see other episodes?

i miss norm

He was the bad guy...so you gotta have a good guy..you gotta have a great guy..so they made up that I was a great guy. "And you also happen to be a great guy" THAT was entirely coincidental! xD lmao

The Mark Cuban story is pure blah. Anyone remember when Tom was popular? Blink and you missed it…

This is what I love about friends-back-home (Canada). They'll buy each other an e-cigarette every now and then just to say 'hi.' Friends born, bred - based in America? Would never do this. I've concluded that old friends from Canada are way-pallier than old friends originally born in USA. Just an observation.

why does tom green suck at having a podcast?

Happy what do you think about what Tom green has been doing over the past 6 months?

@28:50 hahahahahah 😆

23:18

Love norm and Tom but kinda hate the "tonit show esk formal format" of his podcast ..lose the fake and relax a little more I like much more than prescripted forced questions and interview style of network tv

These things will burn through your assho- HEY YOU EVER HEARD OF MACKY A VELLY?

24:30 Younger people are so much better looking than old. The full lush hair, the creamy supple skin, the brightness of the eyes, the kinetic gestures : really noticable when pictured next to the slow puffy prune they become

Tom Green acts like the internet was just invented. He's so lost with technology

I have reason to believe Tom Green might be stoned outta his head during this interview.

Sad interview and time wasting for Tom. Norm used to be interesting, funny AF. What's this?
