Watched more episodes of Norm's show.
It really is great. Norm is such a nice and wonderful person, his guests really open up when they talk to him.
i'm unclear as to why adam eget is on the show though, he does pretty much nothing
I think that's the point. It actually comes up during one of the interviews.
"And what does he do?"
"Well, he's my sidekick"
*silence*
Probably some meta joke about how sidekicks in comedy or talk shows barely do anything.
Conan also has a guy that basically 'just sits there'.
In the M Night one Adam gets to ask some questions though. And further in the season he seems to be interacting a bit more with the guests.
Norm's just so random though, everyone in the studio gets thrown off by him and his silly jokes all the time.
If people haven't seen it, this sums it up pretty well
This isn’t to say the show is bad. In fact, it is oddly compelling. Though it is completely off the rails, there is structure to it. Norm, Adam, and the guest stroll out, with the latter not being sure if the show has begun. A talk show kind of unfurls and Norm taking breaks that don’t exist, which the guest isn’t totally sure about. In episode one, David Spade – perhaps in on the joke but perhaps not – continually grows angry with not knowing whether or not parts are being filmed. Interruptions, cut to Adam for something inane, interruptions, etc. Everyone reads prepared jokes that are normally awful. Then Norm and Adam sing at the end because of course they do.
It has a 9.1 on IMDB and a Tomato Audience score of 93%.
The critics hate it though.
