This one is my fav. So dumb, so obvious, so brilliant.
“And in music news, number one on the college charts this summer was ‘Better than Ezra.’ And at number two: ‘Ezra’
[After a setup about a “best jobs in America” list:] Meanwhile, the second-worst job in America was “crack whore”. The very worst job: assistant crack whore.
“But I don’t wanna be a drug mule!”
Michael Richards played a very important character, with Kramer practically taking over the show after a while, so after so long is he still too toxic to be brought back in for a promo? I mean, it’s not like they’ve taken all his episodes down. His comedy is still making everybody their residual money. And, no…
How considerable are Jerry Seinfeld’s talents? Without Larry David running the show, outside of stand-up he’s done.. uh.. Bee Movie.. Marriage Ref.. that knock-off of Carpool..
Even Roger Moore said Bond was the worst spy ever, “Every barman knows his name.”
I know between Norm Macdonald and Don Ohlmeyer who will be remembered...
“Don Ohlymeyer fancies himself a creative. That guy couldn’t create gas after a bean dinner.”
I don’t feel Bill Carter was personally chiding Conan for the way he ran his version of The Tonight Show. He was establishing the context by which NBC brass were chiding Conan, which led to their unhappiness with him and eventual firing from The Tonight Show.
Carter is fantastic at not inserting his own opinions, but…
i can picture norm saying that, too. fucking awesome! fuck ohlmeyer.
From the Dave Letterman appearance (contained in this video), it looks like Dave had him on straight after he was removed.
Bill Hicks nailed Jay from the start. “Company man to the bitter end.”
Hadn’t Norm already had his Letterman appearance by this point? This would be the one where Letterman pried all the details out of Norm on-air and then proceeded to chew up Ohlmeyer and spit him out (Letterman had his own history with the guy and didn’t like him either)
The AV Club is the most self-righteously woke pop culture website out there, and that’s certainly saying something. I love Norm and I’m shocked that the regular cast of joyless scolds here have eulogized him to this extent, considering he was no Amber Ruffin or John Oliver.
Just proving that NBC has been broken for a long time. How much do you think Conan’s unwillingness to play ball contributed to him getting cut from the network? Everybody knows Jay’s the ultimate yes-boi.
Well Norm can finally meet his biggest fan. Nicole Brown Simpson.
This Don Ohlmeyer seems like a real jerk.
