Seeing Norm Macdonald on Letterman again was just awesome, reminds me of why talkshows are typically stale to me these days. I've fallen out of the loop on all these new celebrities, so the interviews just don't do much.
Watching Norm again reminds me of what a good talk show guest should be. Come on and have fun and entertain, don't come on and tell a stupid story about how you were travelling to film your reality show and your stupid luggage went to another city so you didn't have some stupid thing that you normally have and had to make do.
Norm talked about it a little while ago, and how the hosts love him and would interview him all the time, but the networks are all about having something on the go and getting the latest names from the latest lame shows.
I get it, but it would be nice to see him on talkshows more than once a year. (Letterman this year, Conan last year).
