Q&A: Conan’s Favorite Norm Macdonald CONAN Sketch | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

I have a question oh what is your name. my name is Haley Haley how are you uh. I'm good how are you guys I'm good this. is so surreal seeing you guys live you. guys are just as funny as in person as. you are on audio tape so this has been. so cool. audio you talk like me yeah I don't know. why I said that yeah. the young ones. send it out via post immediately oh my. gosh. well uh my question for all of you guys. is so Norm McDonald is easily one of my. favorite comedians of all time.

um I yeah he's phenomenal so do you guys. have any favorite like bits moments or. memories that he's ever done like I know. he's known for so many of his viral. Clips but just I know some you knew him. on a personal level so just anything. that you remember uh one of the things. that I remember that Norm did I don't. think many people know about but I think. you can find it if you look it was so. Random normally just do these random. things and so. um Sully sullenberger the pilot famously. his planes taking off in New York one of. the engines goes out because I think. there's a bird strike and he or.

something goes wrong and he lands it on. the Hudson River and everyone gets off. safely and he you know he's got this. mustache and he he's cool and he saved. everybody and everybody got Sully. sullenberger fever and then uh not for a. long time but anyway. um. but uh then I think Tom Hanks made a. movie yeah and then Norm came on and he. had this idea that he wanted to make you. know the it's too bad I produced a Sully. sullenberger movie before he safely.

landed the plane and and I'm like this. was his idea and he made this so he came. on and he had shot it. and it was total lie but he's like yeah. that's something I'm kind of mad about. that sullenberger guy and I said what. are you mad about well I made a movie. with him before he did that and why'd. you do that I just chose a pilot and I. made a movie with him and then he goes. and does this thing and it's really just. selling Burger it's Norm playing silly. son and he grabbed our makeup woman Deb. Pullman and said you're going to be in.

it too as my wife. literally while he's in the makeup chat. [Music]. too when she's. like even change she's just wearing the. clothes she wore to work and so he's. going like all right buddy it's your. captain uh Sully sullenberger and we're. gonna now land the plane uh oh who's. here my wife's here and Deb. walked in and went Hi how are you I love. you too dear and then she left and he.

was like all right here we go and we've. landed so uh there you go I think we're. all good and then the credits came down. it was the randomest weirdest idea and. he made it and you can see it go look. for it and it was one of these things. that's not you know it never trended or. whatever but it's just out there and you. just see Norm my favorite thing he did. as a comedian was intentionally waste. people's time. and it was. he didn't care in this beautiful way.

because people. he and. it's glorious and I look at it now and I. just see him doing this bit. and think wow I mean no one else would. do that no one else would make that up. grab the makeup woman make her be his. wife and not give a and then leave. and it was really funny so that was my. favorite.
