Wonder if politics will be discussed. Isn't Norm center to right of center? There's some hardcore leftists on that list.

Norm is the one celebrity that can get away with it given his continuous career suicide by giving the middle finger to executives. He’s got a ton of respect in the comedic community for this and it’s the only reason he keeps on getting gigs.

It’s a fricking travesty that Colbert got the Late Show over Norm. Norm was Letterman’s personal choice for his successor, but the executives said “no fricking way”. It’s obvious even from the mid-90s that Letterman was grooming Norm to be his successor, but Norm has burnt way too many executive bridges for him to get that chance. I’m glad Netflix is throwing him a bone, because Norm is a great interviewer and bring in nothing but Grade A guests.

He's had far left people on his old show before: ie Sara Silverman and I believe Margaret Cho. Yes, both are comedians, but I think he engages with them to try to understand them.

He also semi trolls them when you can obviously tell he thinks their view is lunacy.

The Fonda thing will be great because she's old Hollywood and he will ask her about that but also troll her for the Hanoi Jane stuff.
