M. Night, that is. A young prodigy who was behind many of the biggest movies of their time: a screenplay, a writer, a director, an actor, a producer - and a great talk show guest as well! (That's his sixth sense, I was told.) Imagine if he had produced a movie based on Norm's writings? That could've been huge - bigger than the Moth joke. Lots of deliciously interesting tidbits of cinema trivia and good jokes in this episode. M. Night surely has a good sense of humour and he really paired up well with Norm. He could've even replaced Adam as the sidekick in some universe? Who knows. Talking about sidekicks: Norm reminds me of Andy Kaufman: he accelerates like a solid rocket booster from 0 to 20 000 mph - just to crash on a wall and then speed up again. Sidekick? Andy? That reminds of a certain Swedish-German feller. Anyhoo, we can say that M. Night Shyamalan visited at the studio on Norm's show... or did he?
But no-one died. What would the women of "The View" have to say about that? Letterman even went on to visit the Norm's succeeding Netflix show - and Norm was no stranger to Letterman's shows either. (Yes, he already appeared on the NBC show in the very early 90s.) David Letterman tells riveting stories and delivers many funny jokes here - or maybe I'm just risible. A guest easily interesting enough for at least two appearances. He is a man who left a permanent imprint on the American pop culture and affected the very way we engage in discourse. His humour can be witty, silly, high-brow, low-brow, absurd or just plain stupid. No matter what, it'll always hit the mark. Another thing is sure, too: mr. Dave Letterman owns a whole bunch of doghouses & dogs - juxtaposed with Bobby Lee who just has the house, but no dog. Suspicious.
Or "eh?" material, as it's referred to in his native Canada. Kevin Nealon is a naturally funny guy and in good shape too. You know what they say: mens sana in corpore sano. Latin... That's a good language to know - if you ever happen to run into some ancient Romans. Sometimes you have to pull out Albert Fish or Dirty Johnny (who is not dirty at all in a particular joke) from your back pocket. At other times a video call to Super Dave will do the trick of elevating the show into an even more glimmering realm of accolade from Entertainment Weekly's "what to watch on your TV this week" list. At any rate, watching this show removes all the possible doubt circling the question "why were Kevin Nealon and Norm MacDonald both fired from SNL?"
