I’d say the same thing about Kobe and all of the good he was doing/had done. It feels cruel to take them at that point in their life…..we’re also realizing sure there’s other comics but Norm was just different.

Best late night host ever. On that path, he met Norm, and realized that Norm was the standup version of himself that he wanted to be back in the day. What he aspired to be originally.

Not at all what I was expecting. I never thought I'd almost shed a tear watching Norm and David other than crying from laughter. Superb video of these two legends of laugh.

So I have always felt strangely connected to Norm. Im 43, born Oct. 17. I became obsessed with watching Norm about 7 years ago...like obsessed. My wife noticed and bought me his book. I was so moved. Especially when I opened the book and the first lines revealed that Norms birthday was Oct. 17th. I cried reading that for some reason it really moved me. This video is the first time Ive seen Norms first appearance on Letterman, a monumental moment for him, and by extension, me. I also noticed that the other guest that fateful night was George Wendt...who I happen to know, through many years of Radio DJ's pronouncement on our birthday...was also born on Oct. 17th. I dont believe I have to tell you the name of the character George Wendt iconized on Cheers...Norm, of course. Sometimes, whatever God is, has a sublime comedic timing. Norm was that...walking among us, eating Count Chocula. I miss him.

A lot of people enjoy Norm's work but Letterman actually really "got" him. The fact that he realized, Norm's persona is a big part of his act just underlines this - usually people mistake this with him being weird. They are both outliers because they are both very intelligent and humble, which is fairly rare in show business. I hope you are less sad now, because I know I am. Thank you for this.

one of the greatest things to me about Norm was how genuine he was, with his friendships and his feelings and how life was to him. the way he was so honest about how he felt towards David Letterman, or Bob Saget (rest in peace), and all of his friends is so precious. I remember listening to Saget's video about Norm shortly after he had passed, and just being so awestruck at how open and vulnerable they were with each other. "One of the gifts of my life is that he loved me." Letterman was very close to Norm as well, and you can really see it in how he praises him and how he opens up his thoughts to tell Norm the genuine truth. "I wish I was as smart as you." There is something so magical about these men. The way they were so open and willing to admit that they loved Norm, and that Norm was completely transparent in how much he loved them, too. It's incredibly powerful. I love these men, and I hope to forge friendships as deep and precious as they have. And if you haven't yet, I hope you do, too ❤

Wow. This made me cry. God I miss Norm. I was so enjoying him as he got older. His talk show was pure heaven just chillin' with him enjoying his mind. Letterman is of course a legend. Long live Dave. Thank you for this. So well done.

In the early 90s, before his SNL days, I saw Norm on a cheesy comedy special with a bunch of great comics and had taped it and memorised his set, it was so brilliant. He was booked to headline the comedy club where I worked in Chicago, and not even the owner who booked him had seen him before, just booked via some booking agent. But I was thrilled, and saw every single set, and got to spend the week hanging with Norm, and he was probably the only genuinely decent person I met in 3 years of working there. It's very surreal to see the arc of his life and career from this end now. Back then, no one I knew in the standup world paid any attention to him. They'd all deny that now, lol. But of all the people I saw back then who made it big, his success was the one that made me giddy. It took a long time but he deserves all the admiration.

This is very touching. Well done.

This video has been saved to my favorites list...and I've viewed it multiple times since doing so. A great piece of work.

Both of those guys are 2 of my favorites. It was touching to see the softer side of Norm , he was so irreverent about everything I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it. RIP Norm.

Thanks for doing this. It's a beautiful time capsule. I've seen all these clips separately, but this is an outstanding edit.

In my head I read that as “cap-suule” as Norm always pronounced it.

Thanks to you for putting together such a classy and well-thought-out video of the relationship between these two great humans. And thanks to Dave for recognizing Norm's talent and mentioning it often. And thanks to Norm for being so freaking funny and yet so sentimental about Dave's support

Great video, thank you for your efforts in putting it together. I grew up with watching these two, and it was an emotional watch. I sure do miss you Norm. Thanks for all the great work, and laughs along the way.

This is really lovely. Excellent work my friend.

I feel like Letterman is saying “hey, you’d be a great talk show host” and norm (of course) is going “ohh nooo noo” What a great (and unexpected) tribute. I also was expecting a compilation

What a beautiful relationship they had. They both so admire & appreciate each other's talent & at the same time they don't quite believe they are as good as each other says. I love them both & Norm you were the top of the heap. You are missed.

This has always been surprising, beautiful, very touching and heartfelt. You don't ever get that clicking through anything on youtube. Thank you for your time stitching this all together. It means a lot to everyone suffering a loss and looking for a few laughs and maybe, just maybe, a little wisdom along the way. Thank you.

You got a tear from me. You did a great job. Great video. Gosh, the world needs Norm. Maybe we do! Or maybe I just do.

Great video! There’s nobody like Norm. He’ll always have a special place in my heart.

I was so touched by this beautiful love letter between Norm and Dave. Thank you!

This video made me feel a lot better as well. I've been watching so many videos of Norm since he passed. Only slightly more than before though lol This is such an incredible tribute and I will definitely be returning to this video many times in the future. Thank you!

This is absolutely beautiful...Great job

Very, very well done. Such a beautiful tribute. Thank you for this 😭

What a great vid! Not just my prescribed dose of Norm for the day, but an excellently pieced together biopic of the lasting admiration and friendship between two great men. For me, the saddest thing about Norm was that he always seemed at war with himself, and you can see that when someone he admires so much is telling him in a heart felt and profound way just how great he is, he’s moved, but he can’t accept it. These guys were blessed to have found such an enduring friendship. Norm was the greatest, and everyone new it but Norm. Rest in piece, you gentle soul.

An amazing tribute. Norm deserves this.

this is a youtube masterpiece!!

Thank you for continuing to post these great moments of Norm.

I love this edit. Stayed in beautiful tears for the entire viewing...thank you

Damn, that hit me a lot harder than i expected, great video.

Thank you. This was a great video. It makes me feel so happy to watch the respect they had for each other. It's beautiful. So thank you.

This was put together so well! Thank you….still searching nightly for any videos of him I haven’t seen 🥰

I always love watching norms last letterman set with his quote about him being a father figure at the front of my mind.

Incredible work. Two absolute geniuses.

This is a really, really excellent piece of work in every way. Tiny reservation: at the 8-minute mark, Dave's entire tribute should have gone in, instead of less than half. To me it was the greatest and most remarkable thing I ever saw on Letterman.

To love and be loved by someone is a very powerful emotion. And seeing two damn near life long friends talk so greatly about each other just fills me with joy.

The first and only time I think I've seen that crazy bastard moved to tears. Norm wherever you are now , we miss you and and we love you.

I wonder what Letterman whispered to him? Only David knows now.
