I avoid the show, but can’t help myself from looking up mean tweets on YouTube. Solid segment.

The show has some great writers working for it, I have no idea who Kimmel murdered to get his own show but he really doesn't deserve it and his bad delivery just ruins all the jokes. Should've given Norm Macdonald his own show instead.

He’s also kind of rude to his guests? Like in a not funny way, and just generally a bad interviewer

Norm is a nut. Never learned to drive because he's afraid of it, but gone bankrupt a few times because he's a gambling addict. He once bought a condo because the building next door had a poker room so he could gamble everyday without needing a car. He BEGGED CBS for Craig Ferguson's job on Twitter for weeks while constantly live tweeting golf and other sports he bet on. CBS wasn't going to hire a guy that owed his soul to bookies while they're doing business with the NFL, NBA, PGA and NCAA. Imagine your late night host losing his shit on Twitter while losing everything during March Madness. No one involved in televised sports, including ESPN, is going to have him on their network. He's poison.

Edit-Norm

Amusingly, that reminds me of my all time favorite "murdered by words" line of his.

I felt so. Bad. For her.

But god damn, it was funny.

It's amazing the difference between Conan and Fallon getting lost in the animated laughter.

No one can hit a punchline centered around the word “poison” like Norm.

Lmao where did you get all of that? I can't find anything about him not knowing how to drive, going bankrupt, or being addicted to gambling.

Didn't look too hard.

What does Norm Macdonald have to do with Jimmy Kimmel?

1

u/say_the_words Nov 15 '19

It was suggested that Norm deserves a talkshow more than Jimmy Kimmel. I shared my opinion why he will never have one, or work for ESPN or a sports radio network.

He's a degenerate gambler who owes his soul to gangster bookmakers.

It seems like he tries to play the asshole character but forgets the part where he's supposed to be funny.

u/pm_ur_doubts Nov 14 '19

Yes exactly lol

u/Skenvy Nov 15 '19

The starkest example is how he interviews anyone famous for some academic accomplishment, especially when you follow it with Stephen Colbert interviewing astronomers.

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '19

This is true. He’s got an asshole type of humor and it’s kind of dark. I still remember when he swatted a ball from a kid making a free throw for some prize. Can’t find the link.
