All episodes deleted off of his YouTube account yesterday without notification. Some speculation on Reddit that this might mean they were bought by Netflix or something? Seasons 2 and 3 have already been available on Amazon Prime though so who knows. I would love if it meant that some company bought them and is in the business of making more.

I really loved the first 'season' or two, but the last half dozen or so he just seemed kind of off.

You didn't like the Letterman or Jim Carey episodes?

Ohh, that explains those handful of deleted videos from my watch later list. Couldn't figure out what they were.

Here's hoping it was Netflix.

I have literally spent the last week at work rewatching these on my second monitor. So great. Hopefully a NetFlix deal will mean new episodes coming soon.

I missed this but apparently he did an AMA on Reddit about 3 weeks ago, where he said this:

I did my podcast in order to see if I could host a talk show. And I think I succeeded and have now been offered a talk show by Netflix. All the podcasts were rehearsals.
EDIT: To be clear, I'm only in negotiations. There's no show yet.

ETA the link for the AMA:

How the hell did I miss that? I check the Norm sub at least once a month. Though I guess he kind of snubs them.

*Also, I liked this:

"Will there be a Dirty Work 2?"

Norm: "There are people who want to make it but I've yet to make up my mind."

By "people," he no doubt means Artie Lange calls up him about it four times a week.

Q: "What are your favorite fruits and vegetables?"

Norm: "I guess Richard Simmons and Terri Schiavo, I'm now using Bob Hope's old writers."

Nobody can be funny while deconstructing what comedy is like that guy. He is awesome.

We've got a premiere date! Can't wait!

Thanks for posting this - you made my day

Norm is the best.

I guess I do fear this won't be as wheels off as Norm Macdonald Live was on Youtube, I loved that format - or lack of one. Hope he doesn't have to clean it up or be a more stuffy interviewer

Doubt he'd do it if that's what it's going to be.

Trailer up on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80225949

September 14th is so far away.

I guess I just found my new favorite show .

^^ that was awesome

And man I loved me some CTS back in the day.

By the way, read his book. It looks like it's a memoir. It is not (well, not really). It is an extremely inventive and compelling (and hilarious) novel.

This is going to be awesome. Can't wait for Billy Joe Shaver.

Recommend watching billy Joe's episode of tales from the tour bus

So why did he take down his youtube work? Competing format?

Will definitely watch.

My guess is that those season will appear on NetFlix potentially. Like Comedians In Cars had all their old episodes moved to Netflix when that deal was done.

This is all just painfully ironic, but the last line is both infuriating and scary.

He's on Stern this morning if you have Sirius. Should be an interesting discussion.

Everyone has lost their damn mind with all of the virtue signaling, faux outrage. It's absolutely disgusting.

Congrats to the Tonight Show on narrowly escaping being watchable

Norm being Norm

My fear is that people who wouldn't normally watch him will now watch looking for things to get offended by, which there are many if you don't have a sense of humor, and tweet all their outrage.

Listening to a replay now. Typical Norm. They didnt spend a lot of time on the "controversy".

NBC has ruined it with their PC bull*****

Ever since they lost their **** over Jimmy playing with Trump's hair, it's never been the same. Which is unfortunate, because I thought it was light-hearted and funny most of the time. Then they started telling Jimmy to take more forced shots at Trump and bow to the SJW crazies.

This quote from the article says it all:

"Then Jimmy came back in, said can I talk to you buddy?", Macdonald said. "He was very broken up about it, he said 'I don't know what to do..it's just that I have so much pressure, people are crying. Senior producers are crying.'

NBC has always hated Norm because he didn't conform to their ideals.

Amy Schumer, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, and other comedians with a fraction of Norm's talent have said far worse things.

The thing about comedy is, there is no line to cross. It's either funny or it isn't, if you are offended then that is your problem. Don't watch or listen to the comedian, that simple.
