Norm Macdonald Live w/ Guest Fred Stoller (S01E03)

good evening welcome to norm mcdonald live our third podcast and i could not be
more excited
about this podcast until about 10 minutes ago because our guest was going to be
the great
robert blake yeah and uh i love robert blake and i always have since i was a
little kid because i
watched beretta which was my favorite show and that's probably before your time
yes definitely
my trusty sidekick adam egott and uh you didn't know robert blake probably no
no but in the 70s
they had they had uh these shows that were detective shows right and but most
of them were kind of
corny like they had canon frank canon who was played by william conrad and as a
matter of fact
now that i think of it most of the deceptives back then had some something
wrong with them what was
wrong with uh canon huge obese man he was a fat man and he chased down the
criminals and then he would
karate chop them on the neck that's how he ended up getting them he knew how to
karate and at the end
he'd be him eating like a big uh dish of pasta with some lady anyways and long
street was blind
jesus he was a detective was blind and he he relied on his dog a lot and a lot
of times he'd go
there's a clue underneath this girl's you know skirt the dog knew where long
street wanted to go
and they had luck solving the cases but i'm saying it was very they were very
corny kind of sick of uh
but then beretta it was like it was like martin scorsese had made uh oh that's
a detective he was a
tortured guy you know how now all the superheroes are are are conflicted oh
yeah yeah i don't like that
but i like this guy he was conflicted you know and anyways and it had the
greatest theme song
so i said let's get robert blake yeah it would have been a great guess he's he's
engaging how
exciting that gonna be and uh he we got him on i never i got him on the phone
only for five seconds
what happened daniel kellison apparently was on the phone for an hour how did
that go i don't think it
went well probably not but uh i got his book one of the things was you've got
to read my book
so anyways he's not coming yeah and i read his entire book oh that's and it was
great
it was one of the best like books celebrity memoirs i've ever read good you
should plug it
anyway you like that it's called tales of a rascal that's because he was on the
little rascals
of course right but i think there's like an eye it's drenched in irony as well
sure tales of a
rascal robert blake what i did for love so it covers everything it covers
everything he pulls no
punches he i one of my favorite roles of all time was him in uh david lynch's
uh lost highway just
riveting i never saw that amazing but i like david lynch likes me that's that's
bizarre even for
lynch that's amazing though that's really cool what we should get him on the
show
david lynch that'd be great we could put him on the old list oh the list
we have a list we have a list we have a list of guests we're trying to get
and uh we don't have a list do we well i always carry it around with me you
never know when you're
going to need the list is that the list this is the list i always carry it
around me this is the
list yeah this is guests we're trying to get for the show yeah it's a long list
yeah it's really
wrong and they run the gamut from al franken i mean he's a what is he a senator
yeah he's a senator
oh yeah he's somewhat attainable you know allison brie don't know her oh come
on something you're
you're never supposed to say on a tv show that you've never heard of someone on
the list
what's wrong with you andy dick i think he'd be good yeah he'd be great arsenio
hall and then after
that it says if needed yeah i never understood there's about five people with
parentheses that
says if needed but they're just at random makes no sense yeah anyway who else
on the list norm
bill murray we can take him off the list
no there's a lot of people any other uh ann murray oh ann murray
i mean i know you know who put ann murray on the list daniel
you even know ann murray i mean i've heard the name i know she was a singer or
someone tell me about
ann murray she's just an old lady she's like 75 i think she lives in
prince edward island or something is that close by or no it's about it's about
as far as could be
i don't think there's any two points of the north american continent farther
than los angeles
and uh well i mean spring hill well i mean she's probably available what do you
think she's up
oh she's available what's she up to she's walking down the street going i'm ann
murray
so not a good chance of getting her to fly down here but anyways god this is a
huge list
oh you know what else there's news in our little life that we're going to do
that masters uh
oh right right explain to the folks what it is because i did it one time before
well basically it's people explain to the folks at home what you guys can do is
tune into the masters
on uh on television there and you can turn down the volume and listen to norm
and uh and some friends
uh partially commentate the the the golf and uh also talk about it so tune in
to the masters i believe
that's this weekend am i robert blake when he met steve mcqueen is one of the
coolest stories
i've ever read when i read this book because i'm trying to write a book they
want me to write a book
anyways you can tell this guy wrote this and you can also tell he should have
been a writer
and he should have been a poet but anyway he's not here he's not here but uh
you know who is here
no who's here fred stoller
see what's good about this is he's got stories about steve mcqueen he's got
stories about mickey
rooney ava gardner yeah one of my favorites of all time uh robert mitcham robert
mitcham he's got
stories uh fred stoller also has stories but nearly half of them are about dom
irera
well it says right on the front here fred stoller is always funny chris rock he's
gotta be good
fred stoller is always funny well we'll put that to the test tonight now thank
god for fred stoller
no seriously oh he's a he's a hilarious he's a hilarious guy and he's got a
fascinating story
but also fred stoller was telling me he wants to be on podcast like as a guest
yes and he actively
tries to get on podcast absolutely yes he does and is rejected
except by us yeah we used to be the guys getting rejected yeah but anyways he's
gonna be uh he's
gonna be great oh also this is supposed to be this is i think exciting you ever
hear you know there's
a big late night shake up yeah what do you know that what do you know i know
that how would you
like encapsulate that you know without talking too much and make it for someone
who doesn't know
anything about this late night shake up well i believe what's happening you
mean these specifics
i believe that uh fallon is taking over leno jimmy fallon jimmy fallon is
taking over leno spot
and then leno is moving over to fox no no he's not moving to fox that's
speculative okay so he may
or may not be moving to fox he's moving somewhere and he's retiring oh is that
what he's doing i thought
you could encapsulate it for the folks at home i'll try again and i'll just
correct okay so i believe
jimmy fallon is moving to jay leno's spot yes jimmy fallon will be the host of
the tonight show
got it and uh is anything happening with jay leno is retiring jay leno's
retiring which will leave a spot at
12 30 on nbc okay jimmy kimmel has the 11 30 spot on abc i don't know what
follows him
oh nightline perhaps they've maybe they've flip flip flop right uh conan o'brien
is over on the
dumont network or some fucking thing and uh who else is there chelsea handler
beats at them all
and no one seems to care and uh is there anybody else but anyways i the point
is who oh and david
letterman ferguson and craig ferguson and uh so david letterman is 65
where you used to have to retire i think you know you know walter krankei had
to retire at 65
isn't that amazing i didn't know that you didn't know that no you didn't know
that i don't know much
yeah at 65 he had to retire because at that time of the because that was years
ago you know leno's
younger than letterman he is 62 and letterman is 65 but the problem is if a
letterman retires cbs doesn't
know what to do because they have to put a scotchman in there a scottish guy
ferguson craig ferguson
and they're afraid that uh people you know at 11 30 older people uh might not
want to listen to a
scottish brogue and also his sidekick is a skeleton it is you've never seen the
show i've never seen the
show well it's fascinating because he's he just talks like he i don't know if
he uses writers but
he's a fantastic off the you've never seen anything like craig ferguson i i
love him it's just a scotsman
talking to a skeleton well the skeleton is his yes his his sidekick is a corpse
which apparently les moonves cbs has some problems with he's saying why not
spend the extra money
and get a corporal corporeal person
you know what i mean sure you save money you know grave robbing and every night
because
apparently craig ferguson has to change because the stench becomes unbearable
in the studio
after a few days i would imagine cut to craig ferguson out at the local uh
cemetery with a shovel
old-fashioned grave robbing but anyways my point is this entertain i don't know
what to watch anymore
well with all the shuffling so i look at entertainment weekly because every
week this publication this
periodical right through an authority on the subject of course it's
entertainment we'll tell you what to
watch so they'll tell you what to watch so anyways i'm perusing it okay so this
is what i found out
about the word peruse you think it means scan it actually means reading very
carefully so the next
time you're talking to one of your uh intelligent hollywood friends and they
say peruse you know what
the fuck are you talking about peruse means to means to study carefully so you
studied this carefully
yes and what they have is they have the must list the top 10 things we live we
love this week
things you must see okay and anyways look at this number six oh here it is it's
it's our show it's our
program isn't that bizarre fuck that shouldn't be in their fucking thing my
name should not be in
any publication no that definitely did you think that like three weeks ago when
we started no you're
just a filthy bum yeah and now these retards put your name in a fucking
magazine it says the saturnite
live alum i don't know what that alum what does that mean he used to be on saturday
live yeah
he's using his deadpan charm and irreverence
to full effect on his riotous new video podcast where he and co-host adam egott
that's you shocking
we'll welcome guests like russell brand bop maybe
i think my theory is this went to press before they found out about fred stoller
i think it's it's a
it's a good possibility russell brand he is coming the great russell brand who
i asked for for the
first day love russell because i find him amazing yeah and uh bob saget old
friend and the great seth
rogan so yeah we're number six that's amazing that's fantastic isn't that funny
yeah what does
this have to do with late night well well we have a show we're talking to each
other and and i was
looking at that well maybe you must see first of all you know i don't want you
must see it really
really entertainment weekly you don't want anybody telling me what to do i don't
want anybody fucking
tell me what i must see you know what i mean i don't see that video i was going
to show you
where the girl shoves her foot up that dude's asshole i i can't get that vision
out of my mind i remember
it yeah yeah every yeah but anyways first you're happy this is this is the
nature of being a human
being right right you're like we're number six in the must see list
but since my point was since none of the other late night shake-ups i'm
starting to think that they
want us to move over to one of those spots to the late night spots yes i don't
think think about it
think of what it what would it cost them zero yeah well the
