| Curious if anyone here knows who the comedian norm macdonald is, he's extremely underrated and one of the few comedians who started at the same time as all the hollywood greats but decided to stay doing standup instead of selling out like most of the comedians nowadays. And if not who's your favorite comedian? |

ThatGayGuyOnMAL said: Fair enough. I do agree some of his jokes are pretty hit and miss but some he nails.Norm Macdonald's comedy is reeeeeeeaaaaaly slow, so I'm not really a fan of his. He isn't really funny too. The slow pacing of talking is what makes it funny for some people (but not for me). |

| Craig Ferguson Man's got quick wits and to think his time hosting The Late Late Show was mostly unscripted and improvised. Josh Robert Thompson (Geoff Peterson) gets honorable mention. |
 |
| A lot of younger people these days were introduced to Norm Maconald through "Family Guy," where he voiced Death. He certainly has a recognizable voice. |

operationvalkyri said: What do you mean? He was taken off because he refused to sell out and stick true to his type of comedy [and he hasn't changed since, even at the cost of fame]Wasn't he forced out of the snl cast for his OJ Simpson jokes? Perhaps the choice not to sell out was taken out of his hands. |

| I think his comedy is mostly hit or miss. I mean when it hits it can certainly hit hard, but there's plenty of long unfunny ramblings under his belt as well. I'd much rather watch him give witty retorts to things other people are saying rather than listen to him do stand up comedy on a stage telling jokes. I think his biggest strength is his quick wit along with a peculiar delivery style he has that allows him to make certain things funny that nobody else can really make funny. |
Kyotosomo said: Yep that's basically my thoughts as well. He certainly has a lot of jokes that I've found unfunny but the ones I do enjoy are worth it. I think he really shines when he can play off other comedians to make a situation even more funny (like that 9/11 video I linked above ).I think his comedy is mostly hit or miss.

| I'd seen few of his clips and think he kind of hard to get into, as the other said sometime hit but also lot of miss in his peculiarity idk for standup but i like the late don rickles. Im not big fan of roasting--though some can be hilarious like gervais-- but he just something else, so classy For late host i like conan, but more like their sketch and his antic. Not much with the interview(depend on the guess) |
