Looks like part 2 is the same as part 1. Not complaining, just saying.
It was not funny unless he wished Newt Gingrich would contract testicular cancer.

Somebody post a link or two?
Oh. Here and here.
I can’t get the search to work right now, but there is, or was, somewhere on the youtubes, an unedited version of Mitch Hedberg’s Comedy Central special. It’s not “unedited” in the “Fuck!” way; it’s the whole performance they pulled their special from. If you like him, it’s better than what you like.
It’s as good as a Norm show. His usually weren’t.
Because of the sunglasses.
Part 2 is here.
After the Norm one left and the Colin Quinn one started I stopped watching that show. Nothing against Colin he’s just not funny or insightful.
I think I stopped watching SNL ten years ago. Was that about the time Norm was on?
Fixed the videos.
I have the DVD of Hedberg’s HBO special unedited. The guy was a genius.
Youtube has a lot of MacDonald’s Weekend Update stuff — he was fired by the head of NBC who was friends with OJ because MacDonald was merciless going after Simpson — and his talk show guest appearances. Hilarious stuff.
The Medical Marijuana joke is a classic:
“You must inhale, sir, if you are to get better!”
Heh!
I’m a huge Tex Hooper fan! Not meaning that I’m huge, though I am a big man by all accounts. Size 14 shoes ladies. But I’m a Tex Hooper fan nonetheless. Manhole Inspector…….ahh Christ.
Norm McDonald, just as lame as I always remember him.
Jeff doesn’t think he’s lame and me neither and also psycho I don’t think and many others.
Lame? Wow.
Next time I’ll break out some classic Larry the Cable Guy, I guess.
The best part of the whole bit is how uncomfortable MacDonald makes the audience. Look at Hillary’s face, for chrissakes.
Agreed Jeff and he’s doing without resorting to death threats and ranting.
No thank you as to Hillary’s face. Can we get some Prejean breast stars over her face ?
I admit, I liked how his “Democrats getting served something besides subpoenas” line was met with absolute silence.
Here’s how it should have been done Wanda (via Malkin).
My fave N-Mac bit: “Your son is a year old? He looks young enough to be zero.”
Or something like that. Plus his Letterman impression slayed me.
He is, if I may provide another echo, an absolute genius.
I love Hedberg on XM.
Son of a bitch.
I’m 20 cents short of my afternoon soda/pop/thingy.
Oh, thank God.
The New Guy’s on vacation in Europe, and there was some change in his desk drawer. I won’t have to kill anyone.
Jeff,
If you haven’t seen this, check it out. It’s Norm’s monologue from the 1998 ESPYs. This was so brutal 1500 siberian ponies died to get it back online. No lie.

You would think this is Lenny Bruce in the way that people were so floored by the routine. As DS says, this would NEVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
..and make sure you watch to the end. The last joke is the best.
Yeah, have seen it. Ken Griffey Jr.’s face is priceless.
Transcript from the 1996 WHCD… Don Imus gives the “Speech from Hell” a full fledged roast of Clinton… Unfortunately can’t find the video
They should have Lisa Lampanelli as the guest next year. I’m sure her jokes about her preference in sexual partners would go over well.
