David Letterman really did try to get Norm on CBS as host of The Late Late Show, but Les Moonves, president at CBS, wanted to go with Craig Kilborn instead who ended up getting the job as Tom Snyder's replacement on the program from 1999-2004 and was later succeeded by the great Craig Ferguson. So it wasn't empty platitudes when Dave said to him he said come to CBS we'll get you a show over here. They did have a lot of respect and admiration for each other. Norm was one of Dave's last guests before Letterman retired from hosting in 2015, and Dave later appeared as a guest on Norm's Netflix show, Norm Macdonald has a Show in 2018. After being fired from SNL Norm meanwhile continued to do his nightclub act, wrote and starred in the comedy film Dirty Work in 1998 directed by America's dad Bob Saget and also had a sitcom on ABC called The Norm Show which i believe was later shortened to Norm that ran for three seasons from 1999-2001. It's cancellation was a national tragedy.

I like Will Ferrell and many of the other cast members from that era but I could not watch SNL back then. But my SNL hatred blinded me and I missed out on a lot of a good Norm.

One word ... GENIUS.

God I haven’t had a laugh this hard in a while, I was on the floor after the Cosby story. You’re gonna live forever in our hearts Norm

I've watched this at least a dozen times and it still makes me laugh. I'm already feeling the loss of Norm and Gilbert Gottfried. Of the countless comedians to be found on you tube there are only maybe two left that can make me laugh out loud.

Norms moan at the end is possibly the funniest moan I have ever heard.

Yes the moan reveals his true feelings about being fired. The weasel at NBC, That Don guy, what a prick! Don tried to screw him a few times, wicked evil behavior!

not many could turn "My father is dead" into a laugh out loud punchline, genius.

What does someone that wealthy have to be afraid of?

Just listening to norm and his smile makes me smile. RIP to this legend

Norm was the only man who could turn literally any word he said into a joke.

Watching his o j Simpson show and none of them were funny. At all. And I'm not an o j fan

@@egougwu1123 awesome. So happy for you. Now kindly remove yourself from my comment if you're just here to be a contrarian 🖕

Hilarious. You can see Dave really respects him. He's leading him which is essentially helping him. You don't see that too often. Either way, great talk. I love the innocence of Norm.

Norm had David genuinely laughing. Sorry that Norm isn’t with us anymore.

Dave really loved him and you can clearly see it, what a great friendship 🤟

I feel a sense of completion seeing this clip on the Letterman channel. RIP Norm

Norm Macdonald was so classy. He didn't want to drag the man who fired him, he was just explaining what happened.

Norm was so very, very funny in such a very different way. It's true that nobody can take his place.

Norms smile is my favorite part. Beautiful guy 💯
