Caliendo on Letterman, trashing Norm

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 17th, 2006

What the heck was that?

Caliendo, on Late Show (as part of Impressionist Week), in the middle of his set mentions Norm MacDonald. He says, and we’re paraphrasing:

And then there’s Norm MacDonald. (In MacDonald’s voice) Hey! Why write a punchline when you just say “Crack whore?!”

(At least it was supposed to be in MacDonald’s voice. It sounded more like a Canadian John Madden.) Then, just like that, he’s onto something else.We expected more… but there wasn’t any– Just boom! Trash Norm! Then, out!

Perhaps they’re best friends and this was a wise-guy shout out to his buddy.

It was still weird.
