Damn. Bout sums it up don’t it

the second of the video is when your dad meets your girlfriend

@@TheEquilibrium47 hahaha

If you are fond of your girlfriend's dad, yes.

Too true

And Norm would be still alive. Can't believe I am saying this.

@@chaitanyapenmetsa4086 I know. It seems surreal. I've never been so upset by a celebrity death.

@@waynepayne9875 this has been the hardest hit to me since Prince 😢😢😢

@@waynepayne9875 I've never cried before over the passing over a public figure. Norm was something special.

yeah I wish they had done more shows together. This is a gem and Norm seems genuinely entertained ❤️ RIP you old chunk of coal

Absolutely !

Thank you for using shenanigans in your reply. I personally love that word. First heard it in the movie “Juno”, quoted by Ellen Paige, who is now Elliott Paige…but that’s a whole nuther story.

@@nostradumbass9988 or so the Germans would have us believe.

To be honest, that was the first time I saw it happen. Kudos to Craig Ferguson: only a true comedic genius would manage to do that.

@@sergiosaunier I hear ya! The only other person I seen to throw Norm off is Super Dave.

@@bobdole7451 And Dennis Miller, but in a different way.

Was it an act though?

@@dpwellman Yeah, Dennis throws off Norm by keeping him focused on the joke, which is odd because most other interviewers get thrown off by Norm's weird jokes and that's exactly the reaction Norm looked for. Dennis was a weird case for Norm because he welcomed his odd humour and worked towards enhancing the joke at Norm's odd rhythm's expense.

Right?!! I haven't seen Norm so entertained!

I miss Craig’s show so much it was one of a kind

Craig Ferguson is actually pretty funny

Had exactly the same thought.

Yeah it’s crazy, these 2 are comedy gold together

That's a beautiful line.

@@Vespyr_ genuinely touching but the weird fuckin phrases norm would use were hilarious

@@wuffalo he was very well-read.

@@llewodcm20 yes, ive heard how he got very big into reading russian literature

"My son's pain is the coal in my furnace of ambition" -Norm

spot on.

Interesting!

Nailed it

Norm had a discerning eye for comedy. It was the only thing he seemed to really care about other than his son.

@@HylanderSB You got it figured out, dude!

Maybe he was invited more times. Norm rarely went to talk shows.

I mean, this wasn't a regular talk show.

“They say she comes on a pale horse…”

@@abraxocleaner3345 he was on Conan and Letterman all the time

@@TayR0C They were friends of him. Craig wasnt

I really don't understand why Craig didn't get a much bigger show. He was funnier than the lot of them . I guess he didn't play the game as well. He was always way way funnier.

@@saintejeannedarc9460 exactly that i imagine, he probably wanted to just have fun and be funny without an agenda

@@saintejeannedarc9460 yeah but I heard he didn’t like it anymore

@@Ryan-ys2bq That sound like the way Craig would be - not a sell out like the rest of them. I respect him all the more for it.

@@alexpollock6932 I can definitely see that he would be sick of the game. There had to be big pressure on him to shill the agenda, like we need yet another carbon copy of marxist agenda shills. All those shows are totally unwatchable at this point. Letterman always did it his way too, and he got out while the getting was good. I was about to surmise that Letterman has enough power w/ his popularity that he didn't have to shill their shit, but then I think of Rosanne. Makes the biggest comeback in tv history, and they still took her out, juust like that

Great catch!

Hah!

Yep. Craig and Russell Brand also demonstrated this phenomenon. Craig + lightning = extra lightning

Its great to see norm laughing the way he is

Yeah, loved the mutual respect they obviously had for each other, two of the greats.

Two great people. They clearly share the same kind of humour

👍💜

He’s the only person I didn’t know I’ve cried for when he died. As Conan once said “Norm might not have been the hardest working comedian ever, but he might have been the funniest ever” We are blessed we have hundreds and hundreds of hours of him. He lived and breathed comedy. Every moment of his life was about laughing and smiling. And when life ends in a catastrophe that might be the only way to overcome it.

By pretending laughter norm covered his genuine dislike for fergusson

@@tomasreznicek or so the germans would have you believe...

@@tomasreznicek what makes you think he disliked ferguson?

It's called empathy my dear boy! Haha. But seriously, it's so nice to see. So often you could tell he was having fun playing with people like he was a cat. Always scheming the next joke and setting you up. But here, he seems almost kid-like. It's so funny to me.

@@NoName-sv7pp True!!

Yessssssss TRUE!

@Job No, it's actually a joke about the way Jay Leno speaks. Search "Craig Ferguson Jay leño fly". Craig Ferguson Is my favorite late-night host.

Yes! They're my favorite as well!!!

Thought i was alone with this kind of thinking

💯💯💯 These two are the meeting of the minds of comedy.

*Allegedly, allegedly!*

At least he is hilarious as a dry drunk.

@@AyAy008 but also, really.

That workaholism is a dreaded disease. Just like bowel cancer. BTW: It’s Craig F. so he can remain completely anonymous 😉

Okay but like what saved him?!?

It nearly went over me

@@hippopilot6750 I don’t get it.

@@prestigeworldwide6488 Geoff

Pretty much.

yeah, Norm seems genuinely entertained 🥰😥 RIP legend

nice observation :)))

Conan loves the sound of his own voice too much to let anyone talk for more than 4 seconds at a time.

The only reason that 2+2=1 in terms of comedic potential in this clip was that Craig was hyperactive. We seem to have watched different shows.

@@ramazanbora846 Yupp. But that's how it is with limited time though. Especially since Norm's a guy who mesmerises with long jokes/stories. This was simply too short a time for him to shine. (And yes, lots of interruptions.)

isn't it? 🥰

Real laughs too. It was hard to make him actually laugh

ya love them both! RIP Norm that old chunk of coal

Man these 2 were magic together. Wish Norm had more appearances on his show

Craig is this show are soo underrated. There's something about it that' so genuine and unique. You'll never get a regular interview on this show. RIP Norm.

I’ll give a like cause you made a point. Norm makes everyone laugh for his chaotic comedy. But Craig’s wit was plenty enough to keep his chaos going on by trying to empathize with his story full of mischief. It’s beautiful

I think he creeped out craig. Craig is amazing

@@livingsimpleproperties4132 that’s an impossible feat

@@livingsimpleproperties4132 they had known each other beforehand.

@@livingsimpleproperties4132 It's morons like you that make KZfaq comments unreadable. Clueless dolts who don't know the limits of their own lack of perception and intelligence.

These two are such a delight. I wish Norm had been on the show more times.

@@Missjunebugfreak ikr!!! He is such a sweetheart

@@HaleyHearts He really was. Norm is missed.

He just made up whatever was funnier to him or the audience at the moment. He always said I don’t drink or do drugs probably just because it’s a funny thing to say

I gave you a Thumbs down vote, Not because i disagree with anything you said, because i actually do agree with everything you wrote, Verbatim . And dont get me wrong, im more than joyed that you are Starting to get it... but the reason for the downvote is because you have put into motion a very slow yet terminal virus that changes ART into Gimmick, Gimmick into Routine, Routine into Lifestlye, lifestyle to Bigotry & finally bigotry into Nothingness.... Sometimes when you explain to the folks at home you dont tell them how its done

This up there with Rickles and Carson.

@@wingracer1614 damn you

@@wingracer1614 or trailer park boys

You really did. Watch his stuff online Craig Ferguson is the king of late night imo.

Not really, although Conan went to shit. Most late night was bad after Leno followed by Conan

Craig was on a whole other level. He was basically improvising every night for an 1hr for nearly a decade.

James Cordon is the funniest comedian on the planet.

OMG......once I went CraigyFerg, I never went back to the Conan feller.

It was his decision. Well he lasted one full decade so at least there's plenty of content.

Especially when we were caught completely unawares. I was frequently thinking about when Norm was gonna do another special, or a second season of his Netflix show. It is just sad.

Norm isn't Scottish.

MacDonald... Turkish?... no, I’ll go with Scottish

@@davidrudd7414 He's Canadian.

@@dennishbergkamp He's a Canadian of direct Scottish extraction. MACdonald.

@@denverdubois5835 Mac could mean he's of Irish descent, dumbass. When has he ever mentioned having Scottish ancestors? Even if he does (which doesn't change the fact he's Canadian), his father's paternal ancestors would have emigrated 200 years ago and the rest of his lineage could be something else.

Mutual perhaps

Same. They have two totally different comedic styles but they're both absolutely hilarious.

@@waynepayne9875 Different styles, same tradition.
