Norm Macdonald Has a Show

3 episodes in and I'm so glad they captured the same feeling that Norm Macdonald Live had. I really hope a second season is ordered because I'll keep Netflix with commercials if it means more Norm.

Continuing the same formula as his podcast with a shorter runtime and a little tighter. I noticed in the credits David Letterman consultation. I'm really enjoying this so far and hope Netflix don't wuss out on a show that doesn't pander for general appeal though does have great unique content.

I hope the voice of the fans is enough to keep this going as Norm has plenty.

Norm is at his best. Before you judge Adam Eget, please watch his old Norm MacDonald Live spots...Adam is doing exactly what Norm wants him to do.

Norm interrupts and has horrible (or genius?) segues between topics which is his trademark. That's what makes it different and funny. Even when he interrupts, the guests love him.

I only hope he gets Gilbert Gotfried on ASAP.

I know that not everyone gets Norm. If you don't get him this is a show that you should avoid at all costs. That's fine.

To me, Norm is the finest comedian alive today and his uniquely weird, warm personality adds immeasurably to his appeal.

I found myself watching every episode with a sappy, happy grin on my face interspersed with bouts of laughing out loud. Norm effortlessly charms guests he didn't know well, like Jane Fonda, Drew Barrymore, Michael Keaton, Judge Judy and M. Night Shyamalan. For friends and colleagues like David Spade, David Letterman, Chevy Chase and Lorne Michaels there is lots of entertainment to be derived from their pointed teasing and joking around. The episode with Billy Joe Shaver, one of Norm's best friends, is just delightful.

A must see for fans of Norm.

This show is better than most interview shows out there right now. It's kind of like a choose your own adventure interview for the guests. Norm allows them to be as serious and/or as silly as they want by asking good questions and injecting comedy throughout. It also has great production value. My only complaint is that the jokes segment at the end could be a tad bit longer. (To be honest, I wish each episode were longer.) Norm is a very knowledgeable guy and adds a lot of depth to each interview.
