Norm Macdonald Live

The best chat show guest ever finally makes his own chat show. The genre is now dead in the UK but this is better than it ever was.

I recommend you watch the Dana Carvey episode and the Stephen Merchant episode to start with. In the Carvey episode, Dana is such an excellent guest, giving so much, that Norm pretty much keeps quiet. Stephen Merchant is a great counterpoint. He's so tight arse, PC gun shy and generally British that it could have been a disaster but Norm cavorts around and manages not only to make the show good, but to make Merchant look good.

I tell ya. This young MacDonald is quite the talent. Give 'im a few years and darned if the kid mightn't make it yet.
