Thank you for hitting the Norm Macdonald gold mine. A lot still out there Britt! 😂

Yes, Bill Cosby had comedy albums and they were hilarious.

That episode of "comedians in cars getting coffee" with Norm was pretty funny.

dont hide you laughter girl! :D

Here's something Britt... All these clips you've been watching of Norm, he has cancer in almost all of them. He battled cancer for the last 10 years of his life. But he didn't want to be a burden or have anyone take pity on him, so he never told anyone. Even when they tried to cancel him he never used it as a defense or way to get sympathy. None of his showbusiness friends new he was sick until after he was gone.

Bill Cosby was HUGE back in the '70s as a stand-up comic. He was even part of the Fat Albert Show in the '60s (I think) A lot of young black comedians grew up listening to his albums. One of the very few who never used foul language.

Too bad about all that hypocrisy.

Wonderfulness. Great album.

I was too young to remember the albums, but my parents talked about listening to the Cosby albums with my brothers all the time. They all adored him. He asked my mom to play tennis once. My parents were most likely in La Jolla because they went there with a big group of friends all the time. Mom didn't take her racquet so she declined. I remember telling her she should have bought one. After the women all started accusing him, I told my mom I was glad she didn't buy the racquet. A joke, of course, as my dad and their friends probably would have gone to watch Mom play tennis with the great Bill Cosby.

I think a work of art has it's own life once it is completed. We regularly enjoy movies and television shows with child actors who are now grown and in jail or on drugs. Same thing with musicians.

Love the stunned silence

You must do the Courtney Thorne-Smith interview on Conan with Norm. 🤣

Thanks Britt you made me laugh so heard and brought me to tears.

Great Father's Day story! 😂 You need listen to the full Jerry Seinfeld Comedians in Cars. Norm softens that last comment: He'd place Hypocrisy below SA, the drugging, the scheming, etc. Plus Norm recites his favorite Kojak episode.

7:45 that’s the only time I’ve heard him use a punchline 😂😂. It’s a good one

MacDonald is a natural storyteller. The intense amount of work that obviously went into his work is cleverly disguised by a conversational style that makes appear extemporaneous. As for Bill Cosby, like Joe Paterno and others, many people are a mixed bag, capable of doing great things and awful things at different times. At any rate, GREAT reaction video!

*_"HE DID!?"_* "Well, let's say he did."

These clips were after the ugly truth about Bill Cosby came out. They weren’t praising him as a person, but rather his work as a comedian. I grew up listening to Cosby’s comedy albums and let me tell you, he was probably the funniest stand up comic ever. Legendary. That’s why finding out about his personal life was such a blow. I still haven’t listened to his albums since it all came out but he gave me years of laughter.

I really love to see you laugh!!!

I just laughed a chili bean thru my nose.

i grew up from the 1960's and there was a time you could buy cassettes of Bill Cosby of different comedy routines and other artists of course, like Cheech and Chong, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore etc... we didnt get TV back then so it was our entertainment, i was a huge fan and then i had access to Tv and watched his TV show, i remember one time watching an interview of the young girl who played his daughter in the show and she had financial problems at one stage and the interviewer asked her if she had ever thought to reach out to Bill Cosby and her response was an instant kneejerk reaction to his name, it was clear to me there was tension between them, at that stage it had not surfaced what he had gotten upto, when the revelations came out it took me all of 2 seconds to disown him so to speak, i do that with most people who lie to me and con me, its just one of my lifes rules

He clinched it in the end!

Norm loses his sponsors

Norm telling the story on Letterman is way better than the radio interview retelling.

I have all of Bill Cosby's comedy albums. I got them all in the early 80's and for some reason I have never linked them to his behavior. I think because I already owned and had listened to them dozens of time before the bad stuff was exposed.

The goat. RIP Norm

seen it over and over. knew it was coming. and it was still just as funny when she found out. that's real comedic talent.

When I was a kid, my dad's record collection had a couple Bill Cosby albums from the '60s, so I listened to them a lot (along with Bob Newhart and the Smothers Brothers). His Noah's Ark bit was my favorite.

Bill Burr and Norm both discussed how much Bill Cosby meant to them as a comedian. I think it's important to remember that people can separate influence in the past and recent revelations. I am a classically trained musician. Let's say I learned someone who helped me tremendously turned out to be a horrible person. I completely cut off my coach but do I pretend I learned on my own? Two things can be true, our teachers and heroes can be disgusting individuals and have helped create positive changes in our lives. My former piano teacher had allegations towards the end of his life. He made me so much better. Imagine my conflict. Imagine my guilt thinking positively about him. Of course I think of his victims. I really think only someone with a mentor in a specialized field that requires a one on one mentor can understand this. This is very different between a teacher class and 1 on 1 relationship. I studied piano, lute and voice. That was all 1:1

How is he horrible? So many in those times, did that bk in the day. Then he stopped, those times were long gone and his right and wrong took over. Many decades later, he is coming out with a show and so happens, someone from so many decades ago goes against him? Powerful people used a woman to attack a Hero, and the public fell victim to it.

Exactly. I'm still listening to some of P. Diddy's music to this day, it's about separating art from artist.

Bill Cosby was the first stand up comedian I heard as a kid and still some of my favorite content

Bill Cosby was THE comedian in the 70's. His albums are available to listen to here on KZread. 'Wonderfullness' 'Himself ' and 'To My Brother Russell, Whom I Slept With ' will leave you in stitches

You do great reactions. Much appreciated. 🙃

Watch him do the cosby thing in his standup. So good.

Should check out Norm's compilation on Denis miller's radio show, especially when he does the ventriloquist act.

If you’re a fan of Norm’s please consider contacting the Mark Twain Award for comedy. This is the highest award that can be bestowed on a comedian. Winners include Jon Stewart, Dave Chappelle, George Carlson, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Richard Pryor, Whoopie Goldberg, Johnathan Winters etc,

Saw Bill Cosby in Vegas once. So funny I literally fell into the aisle laughing.

I'm with you on picturing Norm. I can't help but picture him with his great grin.

To answer your question about separating the artist from who they are personally, for me its a yes. Every single time. Art, comedy, music, sports etc are for our enjoyment. If i didn't allow myself to enjoy things for this reason, id be a much more miserable person myself because I'd be limiting so much that makes me happy in life. Im glad you mentioned Kanye because I love Kanye Wests music. And I always will, regardless of anything he says because i listen to his music, not his soundbites. I understand hes not popular for his public speaking, hes popular for his music. Its a really simple answer for me, but i think a lot of people base their opinions on how others will view them in regards to their opinions. I don't.

As a huge norm fan , I can tell you that he would absolutely love the fact that you are laughing about his father being dead

Norm’s rendition of the Cosby story on Letterman was the best and he actually does a spot on impression. Here he half assed the impression for whatever reason. lol

Love your Norm reactions… Can you react to Norm destroys heckling teacher..

Not sure about this but I *think* you still haven't done "The Moth Joke" that everyone's mentioning, and I'd also add "Dirty Johnny" joke, which is my personal fave.

That last 20 seconds in the car was the crowning jewel, and you were unable to appreciate it.

More Norm please 🙏

Please, please watch this story as he told it on Letterman’s show. The impression and humor is even better. It’s in a video called “Norm Macdonald Collection on Letterman: Part 3 of 5”. Something similar to that. Start at the 13:00 mark. Even if you don’t react to it, do it. :)

When Norm tells it on Letterman, the story is 10x funnier.

Norm called out Bill Cosby before anyone. He did that with several people we later learned the truth about.

Britt, search for Norm coming on the Dennis Miller radio show. Norm would try out his new material there and Dennis Miller could barely talk. There’s a great compilation.

The Professor of Logic joke on Conan !!

Yes, you are allowed to laugh at that last joke. 😁 It’s completely logical. 👍🏻

I have a nephew who is over 20 years older than me. When i was around 8 years old he regaled me with all of his comedy albums, including Bill Cosby, Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. And yes I can seperate the person from the art.

Admit it, you love Norm! Heh, heh. That's cool.

Comic genius!

Every norm video I seen here I wanna scream at her lmfao...

When Norm said 'I always loved Bill Cosby. I didn't like his comedy, I just like him as a man.' That was a joke. Definitely after the accusations.

Please react to Norm MacDonald with Conan O'Brien "BATTLE AXE" interview!! And, you MUST play it till the very end, to hear the funniest punch line ever!!

we both clapped at the same time when he was talking about Tulsa and doing the bit in reverse. cool

Ahren Belisle's first appearance on Kill Tony. A special Canadian comic grabbing the brass ring.

If there are two Cosby skits I would recommend they would be The Dentist and Noah and the Lord. Both are exceptional and I would recommend a look.

Bill Cosby is a talented comedian. I grew up listening to his Bill Cosby Himself album. Wore that record out. It's hilarious. I try to separate the man from his comedy. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't funny. Haven't listened to it for probably 30 years, but I guarantee I'd be able to quote it line for line. It's worth a listen if you want, probably privately as I'm certain the comments would be outrageous.

You have to be able to separate so no one is put on a pedestal and are recognized as human and have faults, behavior addictions, and mental illness.

I definitely struggle with my feelings about Bill Cosby and other celebrities/artists who did horrible things, the image of who I thought they were and whether I can still enjoy their work. I loved Bill Cosby. My father had some of his comedy albums which I loved. I grew up watching Fat Albert every Saturday, The Cosby Show, Jello Pudding commercials and reruns of I Spy. As a white girl with a lot of southern family surrounded by mostly white people growing up, these were among some things that were foundational in a positive way on how I viewed the world and people who looked differently than me and my family. Good memories of my childhood are very entertwined with memories of Bill Cosby. I guess it is also complicated because I have SA trauma as a child from a family member but I still love that family member. I don't know. I don't have answers. I have empathy and compassion for their victims. I still love the shows, music, etc. but they are a bit tainted is the best I can do for now.

0:50 That's why it's so important to not pause Norm Macdonald mid sentence, cuz you literally just missed the entire joke.

Moth joke and dirty Johnny joke on Howard Stern version

My parents would actually let me listen to Bill when I was a kid, and his comedy albums were absolute genius. Yes, the real man had issues, but I still have those great memories.

LOL...LOL....did you say fuuuu otta here!~~ Yes you DID!

He got me too! 🙂

Bill Cosby was the first black man I saw on television. My dad had all of his comedy records and my brothers and I played them down. The Cosby Show was a part of our traditional TV programming. Great Show Of coarse it is sad to see behind his curtain, but we did not know. We saw his art.

never laughed so hard in my like

Bill Cosby himself special is one of the greats stand ups ever, his movies were amazing, with the exception of Leonard part 6, bills convictiom was over turned and he's out of prison i won't go into thst, but his comedy career is truely one the greatest ever

Check out his Janice or Alcoholism bits. Please.

wow never heard that full letterman story

Norm is almost always messing with people. You can’t take him seriously Britt!

The short quip about to Jerry about Cosby’s “hypocrisy” is put in better context in Norms standup routine. There are a few different versions available.

You need to see what’s out there about Norm getting kicked out of Iowa 😂

You need to watch the Lederman episode where he tells the story. It's much more clearer not over the phone and he sounds exactly like Cosby.

Norm was actually well aware of Cosby's actions and trial and outcome. He honestly idolized Cosby as most comics did....he was the man for a long time....but then the truth came out about him and Norm then use that social stigma/cringe to make a joke about liking Cosby. He went there lol

"I'm pretty sure that most rapists are hypocrites." - Norm Macdonald

….and she has a beautiful laugh as well.

Just a thought from a humble peasant: when you're done talking you could hop back a little in the video before you continue watching. For example, this time I think you might have missed that Norm said, "I didn't like his comedy, but..."

Look up Norm's telling of the "Dirty Johnny" joke.

Bill Cosby's comedy was absolutely brilliant. Those records growing up were just all that. a lot of the cosby show was his comedy put into the series as well, so you would be familiar with some of it. All Cosby's issues doesnt change that. He may not be a good person or the man most of us thought he was, but that comedy he did doesnt change. The cosby show was still epic.

Britt is so incredibly CUTE!

Cosby produced at least 10 comedy albums in the 60s, when I was a kid. I saved my allowance to buy every single one. Later I bought the CD versions. Later still I bought the iTunes versions for my iPod. I still have all of them. I still love all of them. I am very sad about what Cosby was convicted of, but I do not hold his work guilty of the same actions. The set was the best education on comedy you could get. I still say it.
