Norm Macdonald Live - David Letterman

Well I advertised that it was coming so I may as well post the end result.

Let's start with some warnings first.

1) There's nothing tooooo amazing or revelatory here. It's a fun and interesting conversation to watch it if you have a free hour.
2) Everyone is complaining about the extreme closeups. Maybe listen to it as a podcast.
3) You got in-show commercials in addition to youtube ads. Shouldn't it really be one or the other?
4) Luther Burbank was a famous botanist who developed many new varieties of fruits and vegetables.

First Drafts of Rock: Blowin' in the Wind

This is a cute one for all the old people. Peter, Paul and Mary's first draft of "Blowin' in the Wind".

I assume it's coincidental that Kyra Sedgwick is playing Mary Travers (being Kevin Bacon's wife) but man, she is a dead ringer. I would never have guessed.

I don't want to spoil anything but the theme of the new season seems to be extreme closeups.

Unexpected Cameos

For some reason I've come across some unexpected cameos lately so why not...

In Season 8, Episode 18 of Cheers, someone shows up as a background extra sitting at the bar. A young Glenn Beck appears in the background of the episode "Severe Crane Damage".


Enhance.


Even more surprising, to me, is an obscure actor in one episode of Golden Girls. In the Golden Girls episode "Sophia's Wedding" (Season 4 Episode 6 and 7) there is a strange wedding scene with Elvis impersonators.


And one of the Elvis impersonators happens to be a very young Quentin Tarantino.


Apologies for the picture quality, it's the best I could do. It actually looks more like Morrissey, really.

And that's really it except that I'm a slave for the Law of Threes....

Watching the first episode of Police Squad, there's a scene in a dentist's waiting room populated with patients. Playing one of the waiting patients is a very young David Schwimmer.


It's his first ever role.
