Norm Macdonald Live

by

Before Norm Macdonald dropped his 2018 Netflix gem “Norm Macdonald Has a Show”, he had a raw, uncut show called “Norm Macdonald Live”.

It was from 2013 to 2017, featuring 39 episodes of pure gold.

While the Netflix show is slick with big names like Chevy Chase and Judge Judy, “Norm Macdonald Live” dives deeper with guests like Ray Romano, Bob Saget, Adam Sandler, Larry King, Kevin Nealon, Fred Willard, Todd Glass, David Koechner, Marc Maron, and Gilbert Gottfried.

The real treasure lies in these unfiltered conversations—think longer stories, occasional cussing, and Norm being, well, Norm.

While “Norm Macdonald Live” episodes are lower audio and video quality than the Netflix series, Norm Live’s content goes way deeper:

Norm Live has 39 episodes (versus Norm Has a Show’s 10).

Norm Live episodes are twice as long (1 hour & 5 min. average versus 30 min. for Netflix).

Don’t get me wrong, I love “Norm Macdonald Has a Show” — you can watch it here on Netflix. It’s 10 well-edited interviews with stars like Chevy Chase, Lorne Michaels and Judge Judy.

But if you love Norm, you’re going to want to watch Norm Live.

In fact, I estimate 40,000 fans have Googled “Norm Macdonald Live” since 2018 (I’m an SEO nerd and have access to tools that show me these things).

Despite being pulled from major platforms (Amazon, Pluto, YouTube, Apple Podcasts), I did some sleuthing and found all 39 episodes buried in the Internet Archive.

Enjoy!
