Bob Saget, the comedian, actor and television host, joins Norm Macdonald on Norm Macdonald Live season 2 episode 8 for an hour-long conversation that is sure to entertain. The two friends have a history going back almost 25 years and it shows in their easy rapport and teasing affection for one another. Fans of both Macdonald and Saget will be delighted to hear their candid and hilarious reflections on their lives and careers.

The conversation ranges widely, covering everything from the highs and lows of Saget's time as the host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" to his role as the voice of Future Ted on "How I Met Your Mother." Macdonald and Saget also talk about their mutual love for comedy and the challenges of being controversial or offensive on stage. Saget, in particular, shares some stories about early days as a stand-up comic, including his encounters with some legendary comedians from the era such as Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison.

Throughout the episode, both men display their quick wit and sometimes irreverent sense of humor. There are plenty of moments where they rib each other, make jokes at each other's expense, or just say something that makes the other person crack up. At one point, Saget brings up a time when he was performing stand-up in a club and Macdonald came in with some friends and started heckling him. The two of them laugh uproariously as Saget talks about how he tried to incorporate Macdonald's insults into his act.

However, the tone isn't always lighthearted. There are also moments when Macdonald and Saget talk about some of the darker aspects of their lives and careers. Saget, for instance, opens up about losing his sister to scleroderma and how it motivated him to become involved in charitable work. Macdonald, meanwhile, talks about his own struggles with addiction and depression. Despite the serious subject matter, both men display a remarkable resilience and necessary humor even when recounting the bleakest moments.

The episode isn't just about Macdonald and Saget, either. They spend some time discussing other comedians who they admire or have worked with, such as Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, and of course, Adam Sandler. They also touch on some current events, such as the recent controversy around the firing of "Roseanne" star Roseanne Barr and the general state of political correctness in comedy.
