I'm an absolutely huge Norm fan. His podcast Norm Macdonald Live, especially the first two seasons, are probably my favorite thing he's ever done. They're up on the internet archive. The Larry King episode is my favorite, but they're all wonderful: archive.org/details/Norm_Macdonald_LiveHis episodes with Gilbert Gottfried had me laughing like a f***ing lunatic. Especially since it was in my headphones and I was at work. I think some people still think I’m insane from that. There’s nothing quite like the reaction of others when you’re laughing uncontrollably at something in your earbuds. Used to happen to me all the time when I’d listen to TESD while doing water treatment at Oak Island

I was on a bus ride to Philly listening to part one for the first time and I was bent over in my seat gasping for breath at parts. So, so good.

I always thought he was funny when he popped up in stuff here and there, but never realized his true brilliance until I saw a stand up special he did I wanna say fiveish years ago. Can I get some recommendations on must watch stuff?

Never got his appeal, especially on SNL. He has a few funny jokes here and there, but the internet makes him seem like he's some sort of comedic powerhouse. I always thought he was terrible on SNL, at least the Weekend Update part. It was just something like, "OJ Simpson says he likes _______, but is upset because he can't murder ____ first" ~look at camera while smattering of laughs occurs~ His Burt Reynolds impression was great, though.

Read his “autobiography.”
It’s funny as all hell.

The only think I think of him is when he was on Celebrity Millionaire and Regis talked & body languaged him out of going for a million dollars... and then he got the question right when asked “What would you have chosen?” once he walked away.

I don't get it.

I love him in Mike Tyson Mysteries as Pigeon, he's ridiculous. His podcast is pretty good too.

Norm Macdonald derailing the pre-show of the YouTube Comedy Awards is some of the absolute best shit ever.
Language warning, and yes it's 24 minutes, but stick with this as it keeps on giving.
Again, Language Warning:

I do love his Moth joke on Conan which was amazing, but I absolutely LOVE when he was late delivering the gift basket to congratulate Conan on getting the Tonight Show...

When I first started consistently watching SNL, he was the weekend update guy. And man I loved his sense of humor. They couldn't have picked a worse replacement than Colin Quinn. To me, there was nothing remotely funny about him. I actually love Colin Quinn..... that being said, he was TERRIBLE on Weekend Update! Norm is hysterical to me. His Sports Show on Comedy Central in the early 2010s (I think) was tremendous. I was so disappointed it didn't get another season.
