This is probably the best chemistry I've ever seen from Norm. You can tell these two have an absolutely solid gold history, friendship and a profound respect for one another. Almost everything Norm says he's either baiting Jim, trying to derail him or sharing an in-joke and Jim's just ploughing on, trying to be professional and not laugh. Jus' two ol' lumps of coal with 1000 carat cores and a gold nugget of an interview for posterity.

So interesting that Obama was in fact quite capable of selling new wars to the public… I voted for him twice and didn’t realize how many of his core campaign promises he had broken until he was almost out of office. I don’t know if that speaks to him being a genius or me being a naive moron. 🤷♂️

I don't think any of us realized back then that Obama was (and is) a Deep State globalist asset. But also let's remember he was drone bombing more countries on the planet than anybody, and won a Nobel Prize for it. Gaslighting to that extreme wasn't expected then. Now, of course, it's just standard White House procedure.

30:54 Norm asks who the funniest guy on SNL was, then traps him a minute later by saying he asked who the best performer. A good gag, and he had Downey stumbling over himself.

I'd say Jim Downey's commentary about Hillary Clinton's failure to take Obama seriously (at around 11:00) both is correct and eerily foreshadows her fate as a candidate against Donald Trump in 2016. Weird--but not surprising given that Jim Downey is an astute observer and analyst of lots of stuff in my experience. Anyway, like a lot of people I'm watching this because I'm missing Norm MacDonald, and also because KZfaq apparently knows that about me and keeps shoving his stuff down my throat. To my great delight, I might add.

"Best UPDATE in the history of Comedy, not just SNL." I get a little twinge because of my love/respect for the great Chevy Chase. Who just blew-up in front of our eyes - took over - cover of Tim, Newsweek - if he got any hotter he'd have exploded (taken about 100 people with im). -But Norm and Jim - yeah, something very very special - in fact Lightning. -Norm and Jim proved that LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE TWICE cuz they went-for-it-, went hard, hit hard - took no prisoners - and at the exact moment in time when Political Correctness STARTED. In fact Norm MacDonald was (pc's) it's very first VICTIM. But it just made Norm greater. not richer maybe - but Norm's about Truth not Legal Tender. .God Bless Norm, Jim Downey and Chevy - (deep bows) .
