    Norm Macdonald does the same shtick as he has always done. If you like his "comedy", you'll like this, if you don't like his humor, you won't like it. I watched this hoping that Norm had changed, he hasn't. It's still $h1t on a stick.

    It seems that the media are becoming increasingly out of touch with the vast majority of the people with whom they're trying to communicate. While praising "post-funny" TED-talks as the new "comedy" and snubbing their elitist noses at anything that isn't ideologically harmonious with their own, the basis upon which their critiques are founded become less and less objective. This is yetIt seems that the media are becoming increasingly out of touch with the vast majority of the people with whom they're trying to communicate. While praising "post-funny" TED-talks as the new "comedy" and snubbing their elitist noses at anything that isn't ideologically harmonious with their own, the basis upon which their critiques are founded become less and less objective. This is yet another example. Norm states what he truly thinks in an interview; it isn't what Norm's supposed to think; therefore, Norm's new show is objectively bad. Most people who enjoy getting true insight into their favourite celebrities' personalities over vacuous performative presentations will disagree with them. Those who like laughter with their comedy will also beg to differ.

    As the champagne snobbery set slides further into irrelevance, I'll be enjoying Norm for as long as it lasts...while also casting myself as direct competition for Adam Egret, offering my services for TEN DOLLARS A MAN. What's Egret thinking, 15 dollars a man?! That guy's a real jerk.    … Expand

    This review is based on one episode only - the David Spade debacle. I don't know if I can stomach another but if I do I will try and stay open minded. For now all I can say is that this was painful and cringey to watch.

I don't know if I can stomach another but if I do I will try and stay open minded. For now all I can say is that this was painful and cringey to watch. I was embarrassed for Norm and felt terrible for Spade who had to endure interruption after interruption while Norm seemed to be more interested in whatever the next question he had written down than whatever David had to say. But I must say Spade took the multiple indignities like the pro he is. He's the one who should have his own talk show - look at the clip of him interviewing Courtney Cox and tell me that's not 1000% better than this piece of crap. And get rid of that useless sidekick - Adam Eget - he adds nothing to the show - in fact he detracts from it - "do you have any questions you'd like to ask David?" "No, not right now." And finally, to end the show with that lame Wayne and Shuster song from the '80's - Jesus! I was very disappointed to see David Letterman's names in the credits. He must be hiding in his own beard for shame.… Expand

    The show is quite difficult to make it through. It really feels like only his guests actually show up and make any effort. Spade could have taken it over and the show would have been better for it.

    Fonda’s guest appearance is head-and-shoulders the best of the four I’ve seen. In fact, Episode 1, with David Spade featured, is so excruciatingly bad that you’re better off skipping it entirely. ... If you’re a Norm Macdonald fanatic, and there likely aren’t very many of those, it’s best to watch this show while you still can.

    For fans of Macdonald’s comedy, this will feel right in his wheelhouse. But it’s hard to get away from the sense that Macdonald doesn’t particularly care, and that he is its only intended audience.

    I’ve watched four episodes, and every one of them is hugely entertaining and frequently surprising.
