Norm Macdonald Live is a weekly free audio and video podcast hosted by Canadian stand-up comedian, writer, and actor Norm Macdonald, with co-host Adam Eget.[1] Launched by the Video Podcast Network on March 26, 2013, the podcast, now released by Jash, is currently in its third season. It features interviews with comedians, actors, and other members of the entertainment community. The program airs Mondays on Amazon Video, and is later posted to YouTube. Former Late Show with David Letterman producer Daniel Kellison acts as executive producer.

Background[edit | edit source]

The first season premiered on March 26, 2013 and concluded after eleven episodes. After a year-long hiatus, the second season debuted on May 12, 2014.[2] It concluded after thirteen episodes in August 2014.

A third season was released in September and October 2016, but only aired 2 episodes before going on hiatus. On July 25, 2017 the season continued with guest David Letterman. The recommencement of the third season featured a brand new set as well as a new style of filming, that seemed to prefer close-up camera shots on subjects rather than the traditional medium close-up.

Format[edit | edit source]

The podcast follows a talk show format. Each hour-long episode features opening remarks between Macdonald and co-host Adam Eget, often involving elaborate comedic bits and irreverent chit-chat, leading into a guest interview. The show concludes with a segment called "Jokes," in which the hosts and their guest take turns reading one-liners from index cards.
