It's spelled "senpai."

Who watches late shows anyway? He's better off doing his little podcast with his friends and complete freedom.

This episode was a pleb filter

>He finally received the gratification and validation he had pined for
>So many thoughts to handle

i fucking hate this expression.
sometimes an X filter will let X through.
for example a water filter

>>85628772
Conans still a funny guy, but his show is bad. Norm doesn't have the energy or presence to host a late night show, he's best at this: little quiet interviews with silly jokes peppered in

Conan's garbage because of TV. It's like they have to hit a checklist of TV bullshit. Whenever he's off the stage in another town or doing a skit in his office, his show is the best.

They've been talking about how they might even change his show altogether and sprinkle more Conan across the internet and network and shit. Part of a change they want to bring to TBS to keep things relevant.

a debris filter filters out debris

The expression "pleb filter" as something that filters out plebs is perfectly fine, no reasonable person would interpret the phrase as meaning it purifies the plebs or only allows plebs to pass through the filter

I always felt like norm brushes off these esteemed compliments in the wrong way. Although I also understand Letterman is the gushiest host personality out there, so when he says this I wonder if he truly feels that way because he will shower you with compliments.

>>85633830
Are you calling David Letterman of Indiana a liar?

>>85628772
Late night TV is dead. We just have to accept it. David is happily retired, Craig does his radio show on SiriusXM now, and Norm has his online talk show. Everybody's happy, and still we're still getting content.

Norms just so fucking slow and lethargic now, i dont know if he even has sports show energy anymore. I know super deadpan is his shtick but he seems like the years of drug abuse or whatever are affecting him physically

>>85628772
Norm MacDonald's humor would bomb on a standard late show every night. He'd have to tone it way down and his anti-jokes would go over the head of the old people who watch them.

>>85630804
Too bad this site doesn't have a goddamn moron filter

>>85634683
>That appearance he made on The View without his xanax
It was so hard to watch, Norm became incredibly shy. And the host clearly knew he was uncomfortable without his medication. He also went on a tangent about the merit of obedience that was too /lit/ for the audience.

How though? I've found that it's a very accurate thing. It's not like you have to stay pleb forever though, but for example in fitness if a person insists that muscles turn into fat or that olive oil will spot reduce their fat you stop talking to them about fitness, same with movies.

>>85634834
>>85634904
It's a subtle homage to the Tom Snyder show. The tight close-ups were a common feature there, and it's the show Letterman took over.

>>85628713
>It's real

Fuck

Also at end, Letterman gets serious again

>I would only do this for you
>honestly, I would only do this for you

It's pretty great and a bit sad for some reason.

>>85635556
He did do the top ten but during editing Norm decided to cut it because he regretted making him do something he didn't wanna do

>>85635846
So it wasnt originally going to be cutting it at the end as a joke?

>>85629161
how about a pleb litmus test then

>>85635556
Because David chose Norm as his successor like Carson chose David. Watch the interviews that Norm does after he gets fired from SNL on Late Show and you can see that Letterman saw something in him. Norm just didn't have enough ego and got in his own way with his immense gambling debts.

>>85636228
Yeah I remember letterman saying back when he hosted, as soon as he heard they fired norm, he told norm he was welcome on the show as a weekly comic. No hesitation at all.

Man the pressure for Norm must have been intense and even if he did it on purpose and on his own terms somewhere he must feel like he let Letterman down.

Shit episode. Why was Norm such a beta throughout? Is his health failing or something?

Saw Norm just this night at the San Jose improv. He did alright, funnier than his openers. Drank a lot of redbulls though. It was late sure, but he's a comic he should be on a different schedule. I don't know if it's age or what, but he sure was slower in his delivery.

why did letterman not want to go anywhere near the dirty jokes? he's retired
i would've thought that would mean he could say whatever he wanted now

>>85637402
There comes a point where you're a comedian and dirty jokes become passe and boring because they're easy.

>>85637302
This is exactly how it would fucking go.

This is like saying 'gas mask' instead of 'protective mask'. It's a layman's expression. Anyone who knew water filtration would ask 'what does it filter' or 'what kind of filter'.

>>85635201
fuck man i have never seen norm get actually emotional before.

>>85628713
The way Norm awkwardly tries to move on when Dave is complimenting him, is the exact same thing Dave would do on his own show, especially near the end when every guest would go on about what Dave meant to them.

>>85638610
>>85634597
norm doesn't do anti-jokes he's not a hack
and he's not like some impenetrable comedic force, I think the majority of people can understand his humour

>>85639594
>I think the majority of people can understand his humour
Nah
Norm is an underground comic's comic who only a select few can "get"

Even in old age, major networks couldn't handle him

This. I dropped TV talk shows when I got into Howard Stern, and then I transitioned from Howard to podcasts after Artie left the show. Talk shows are a dinosaur of old media that is swiftly slipping into irrelevance.

i heard they had to find a location with an industrial strength filtration system for the sarah silverman interview so norm could tolerate the diarrhea smell

Dave's nostrils made a good point

What time does he say this?

>>85640065
before or during the jokes near the end

>>85640065
I think it was during the jokes portion of the show, since Norm went to a joke after Dave said it

>>85639659
Letterman and Seinfeld were shot almost a year ago, I think he tried to shop the show to Netflix so that's why it looks a bit more professional.

Depends how many microns it's supposed to go down to fampai

Mike Tyson's head looks enormous on a non-roided body.

Tyson must be tiring to be around, he's intense as fuck

The kino just doesn't stop.

I like Norm but it wasn't a great episode at all. David gave away nothing new because Norm didn't ask decent questions. It was just 'remember this?' replied with an answer you could probably get from his Wiki.
I'd love to see Dave interviewed by Martin Short though, probably the only guy he'd really open up to.

When will he have Larry David on?

the seinfeld episode seems great from the clip

I could imagine if Letterman was on TV today, how quickly people here would be bashing him because of all the Trump jokes he will say.

He seems to hate him with a passion, more than Colbert or Meyers

How's the Tyson episode? I'm gonna have to wait until it's up on youtube...
