Norm MacDonald Insists On Ruining Conan's Promos

Usually the behind-the-scenes videos networks put up on their websites are terrible, but this one, from Norm MacDonald's Tonight Show appearance with Jim Gaffigan on Thursday, in which Norm did everything in his power to keep Conan from being able to shoot the promo for that night's show, is funny because it's just Norm making fun of everything Conan has to say:

The only thing better than Norm's "old jokes" bit is his "persistent annoyance" bit.

They should have really just taken a random 15 seconds of that clip and ran with it.

I've never NOT gone into a bar and opened with, "Hey everybody, we've got a great show tonight." If I had known it would be a thing...

what type of comment is this? there's trolling or whatever, but i feel like this type of comment should have a name. i hate them. the anonymous criticism that comes hand-in-hand with web 2.0 or whatever makes me want there to be greater control over peoples' opinions.

I was in the audience for this taping - these were most of the highlights but it went on for a good fifteen minutes, and just kept getting funnier and funnier. Conan did 3 promos but it took at least 25 total attempts.
