Grown up loving Norm's stuff, whether he was in a movie or even just sporadic talk show appearances. Dude is hilarious and always good for a laugh. Probably my favorite comedian.
He's sitting next to Courtney Thorne-Smith who had just left Melrose Place and was promoting a new movie with Carrot Top. She's a pretty god awful guest as evidenced in the video below. It's like pulling teeth to try to get a decent answer or response out of her. But Norm saves the interview by chiming in randomly, and he single-handedly turns it into one of the most memorable interviews in Conan's history of being on the air.
Time stamped for your pleasure. Watch to the end. Let me hear your thoughts. (and don't forget to like and share with all of your friends!)

He has had his funny moments for sure but GOAT... hell no. He is nowhere even close to Pryor, Murphy or Carlin level. Good crap. Why don't you just elevate Sandler, Spade and James to GOAT as well.

Never heard of him until about three minutes ago when I saw this thread's title. Didn't know he was part-goat.

The funniest thing I ever heard Norm say "When I started making money and buying stuff everyone said Norm you need to get a guard dog to protect your stuff so I got me one of those trained guard dogs that cost 3,000 dollars. Than I realized now the dog was the most expensive thing I owned. Now I have to get something to guard the guard dog maybe a bear or something"...something like that

What was so god awful about Courtney? She seemed like a normal person to me, sandwiched between two people constantly riffing on her.
Norm is a massive hit or miss guy. He's usually better when he improvises (like in the video), but when scripted, he's known for jokes falling utterly flat.
His Burt Reynolds is always gold though.

He's closer to an actual goat than the GOAT.

First off, one of the most legendary/"memorable interviews in Conan's history"... no, just no. You don't fucking explain the punchline if it's good (and that one was obvious). And who didn't see the "Bored" joke a mile away?
But I like Norm alright enough. As D said, he's pretty hit or miss. But Dirty Work was the shiz.
All in all though this thread is on a failboat sinking fast.

Honestly this thread is inspiring me to make a "Jason Statham: GOAT Action Star?" thread.

We might need an intervention......I will bring the beer..... I love Norm, but Chappelle eats pieces of shit like him for breakfast.
