There are levels to comments. This here is Norm tier

He didn't know the musical one bc he owns a doghouse

They would do, some kind of, background check. To set up, the questions.

That’s a great university there

You’re one of them gays aren’t ya

I agree he was rare 👌

Oh yeah, I remember the one.

9 11. . .

That would be a terrible name for an airline company

@@DannyD_88 never forget.. like that one guy in the original post. The only reason I remember is because some people were dancing on that day.

Great advice. You can spot the sharks much easier.

@Basketball American it was obama

@@shirogami4224 does that have something to do with the video where he smoked pot in college?

I know I am really the one that's retarded here but betelgeuse is a star... ? - honestly cannot hear the sarcasm here.

@Basketball American Norm said it many times. That was his secret to comedy.

@@Monterey96 Or he could've taken a guess and lost them nearly half a million dollars. He didn't know.

Perfectly cut after that too

Ranch it up

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 That's very un-interesting

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 God would be disappointed in you.

You know that you don't actually get vaccinated that way, right?

@Arzak Heston or the “that’s very uninteresting” comment

The gum chewing made this unwatchable

Gum? I thought that was Paul Newman. Yknow. The popcorn.

@@vegetamegadisk jeez, how does something so little bother you so much

I think he's just chewing some nicotine gum to take the edge off things.

This is how I spell relief but busy people can't read SHIT unless they get paid to look for a minute.

Lmao sameee

Wow. Their first album leads you into cackling, eh?

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 wtf this is a WWTBAM video

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 Believing in god makes as much as sense as believing in the Easter Bunny. At least bunnies are real, though.

@@catofdeath8177 This is what happens to those street preachers when they inevitably catch covid… they spam KZfaq comments from their hospital beds.

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 yeah I think I'll pass

_sigma male theme plays in the background_

Norm really had a unique mind didn't he

I thought that he heard it as a threat to break his legs.

@@blank1383 Regis is a mafia boss confirmed

AH?!

@@blank1383 LOL

Always the gambler

That was Norm's mistake here but what makes it so compelling. Regis didn't know the answers here. Norm said in interviews later he mistakenly got into a blackjack/poker mindset and was trying to read him. Whereas Regis didn't know Norm and thought he was just a dumbass comedian because that's his act. So what we're watching here is Norm thinks he's playing poker face with a casino dealer and Regis thinks a dumbass gambling addict is screwing around with charity money impulsively.

Ah yes we only take so much from his arts and techniques now, but this helps . RIP Norm

Same

Like actually

For me it happened literally right after he died. I never got his comedy from the bits I saw of him and now that I'm watching him I can't believe I never watched him religiously before.

If you get a chance, watch some episodes of Mike Tyson’s Mysteries. Norm is the voice of Pigeon, he is hilarious.

Fully agree. I never fully got into him myself, because I always felt like he was deeply closeted gay man.

that's cuz he was Norm f McDonald

Turd Ferguson energy

Hahaha that's funny as fuck, typical of norm to do some shit like that

Oh cool! Neat to know that, thanks! 😁

Fun fact his birth name is Norm Ally

If Regis didnt try to psych him out every other answer

He was so closeted that he basically won against his own homosexuality.

I didn't even know he was sick!

It’s supposedly random though which answers get eliminated by the 50:50

where did he admit this? I'd love to see the clip

It's actually a "Red Giant", one of the brightest in the sky. Like 50 something times larger than our sun, in the Orion constellation.

@@stevenhetzel6483 it's a lot more than 50 times the volume of the sun

@@zakir2815 how much more? They said 50 something, and 59 times is a lot more than 50 times. Be specific or shut up lol

@@rockyevans1584 617,1 million km wide, 700x the size of the sun, 20x the mass of the sun

@@crusty_ appreciate the specificity, dang thing is quite voluminous.

they always quit before hitting it big

Yup. Guy was a genius. Funny as hell too.

There are other times as well. Rarely when he talks about mathematics and life, he lets it out that he is very well read. But he thinks that giving it away would stop making him funny.

The Best 😉

straight up

He didn't know the answer. He was trying to give him wise advice.

fr fr

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A genuus? Was he good at math?

@@patrikivic2695 he knew a lot of basic trivia and that makes him a genius american.

@@patrikivic2695 you don't have to be good at maths to be a genius

@@jp-sn6si norm was a math prodigy actually. and he was canadian not american. don't speak ill of the dead

@@jp-sn6si He was born in fucking Quebec

What makes that even more funny is it's a joke from his Burt Reynolds playing Jeopardy sketch

I'm still upset about it!

Nah he seizes every opportunity to troll

I found out about this ep. b/c, when it aired, my father et. al. watched it while I was in a different room, where I did not hear the show but did hear Dad say, "Oh, he's pissed!"

Well, Regis was acting all weird. If he just did his job and hosted the show, there wouldn't have been an issue. But Norm does do a great job of making the guy holding the mic feel very uncomfortable.

@@mtjanglefins781 yeah that’s the point lol to make people second guess themselves. It’s not like Norm didn’t have the choice to answer it, he just played it safe

Oh, hey Jim Pickens, please don't kill me

“was” :(

He really was, but random knowledge and keeping up with the news is very much one of the more important parts of being a comedian. Also he reported news, mostly to make fun of people and the news itself, but still.

My boy was wicked smart!

@Michael Pitou I don't think it was for views. I think it was for charity.

@Michael Pitou or so the Germans would have you believe

What do you mean? He isn't gay.

@@mirkomarjanovic3234 Exactly, he was a deeply closeted gay man

​@@mirkomarjanovic3234it was a bit of his.

@@Orxbane 🤣

@@mirkomarjanovic3234 He was really really closeted dude. Like he wasn't gay but like deep deep deep deep deep deep deep down there was some gayness lol

He pretty much wasted every lifeline lmao

He didn't know anything about Musicians so he probably really didn't know

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 That's true, but I don't know how many people are going to take that seriously on a comment section of a video unrelated to spirituality

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 I try to repent of my sins all the time. I recommend an examination of conscience every day. That said, is quoting scripture here the best way for evangelizing? Or might it turn off more people who could otherwise be open to conversion?

@@andrewhart9913 norm was a christian man i don't think he'd disagree with the spirit of what this guy is trying to do

i think he was excited the he might have done it

Of course that’s his job

@@sporkcunt8100 yea I figured but you’d think he would calm down because it’s for charity.

I heard Norm say that the show is insured whenever someone wins the million dollars, so winning half a million is actually the worst outcome for the network.

@@BowHunter87 it makes sense that Regis wouldn't know the answers before hand, so I really think he was trying to get the most for the kids. Norm has a beautiful way of appearing dumb, and it seemed like he was just throwing out a random answer so Regis wanted to stop him and get the money to charity.

Letterman knew, and Letterman was smarter than anyone.

It was all scripted lol

@@anthonyontv1061 was it really?

Walking through the blood and bones to find his brother

@@xmj78xhe was in northern Canada

Oh you mean the one named after that airline?

He passed away this year.

The million is paid out by the insurance agency, not by ABC.

Deductive reasoning is a big part of both so it makes sense.

He was a comedian just messing around

That's poignant, very poignant. Poignant!

Look it up

7:14 "you've got a little gambler streak in you" Regis had no idea...

How unconventional this fellow

He was on camera for half an hour for sure. I wonder if kept chewing on the same gum all that time or if he spat it out during a commercial break and then pulled a replacement out of his pocket.

he's chewing the gum cause he's nervous, cause he does care about the children. norm was genuinely a great guy

Dirtbag sees Norm about to answer right for a million and convinces him to leave with half. Infuriating.

You're 100% correct.

What, was he good at math or something?

@@intercoursehandguns851 Norm graduated at 14 from high school, then went right into college where one of his majors was actually math. You could say he knew math...

⁠@@jkt4748”what was he good at math or something?” Is what Norm said in response to someone in the SNL writing room saying they thought that Matthew Perry was a genius.

@@schmeegledorf Dude, you need to chill the fuck out. Your in a comment thread where a year ago, you went after another username. Now you’re coming at me with the same f’king attitude when I actually responded to you back when and gave you facts. Now you’re throwing Mathew Perry Rip- into the equation for what purpose exactly? And yes, when Matt hosted SNL he told the entire writing crew that his skits would be called “ Matt talk” to which Norm-Rip without missing a beat said “ you mean sarcasm?”

You know damn well.

Yes, he was so young when he played Brick Heck.

he gave him a few hints with his body language/remarks up until the million to be fair. I think because it was for charity

😂😂😂😂😂

haha reminds me of that joke

Never forget the USS Liberty and the lives lost on that day

Well, nine eleven was a national tragedy.

💀 old jack

So does Adam eget, especially if they got a spare 15$ 😏

the expression is "streets ahead"

@@SeptemberManHey no

@@SeptemberManHey COMMUNITY REFERENCE!👏🏻

@@jouhanneus damn I didn’t catch that lol my bad

I think he would of laughed at that joke

Norm and the cancer had a draw, it was too close to call.

@@simplesimon4561I don't think he would because he's dead you know you got to watch for cancer because it'll kill you know

Cancer?

@@xrphoenix7194 that's how our fella passed away a couple years back if you aren't super familiar w him I recommend watching some of his stand-ups or some voice acting he did, his deadpan was as good as it gets

But the game was real, or it was a joke??

​@@asdfzxcv3617real celebrity episode.

The entire point of charity events is to save the show money. It's all a big tax write off!

Yeah I think he wasn't really happy in that moment lol

Yeah, if you pay attention to the stories Norm tells, and the way he speaks, you can tell he is highly intelligent and well educated. Its clear that he reads a lot, is religious, obviously witty and funny, and hes smart enough to realize that he needs to play the dumb guy to be funny, even if hes actually the smartest person in the room.

@@breed4659 Religiosity isn't really correlated with intelligence as far as I know.

@@muffinman2946 it is

@@Smrda1312 A quick google search proves the opposite.

@@muffinman2946 Lol use your brain instead of google next time
