Netflix is snatching up some of the biggest names in the comedy world. Add Norm Macdonald to the list.
Macdonald has signed up for 10 episodes of “Norm Macdonald Has a Show,” which the comedian referenced on Twitter early Friday.

The news may not come as a shock to fans, especially after the comedian revealed Netflix’s interest in a Reddit Ama back in January. But along with Friday’s news comes some additional official details. Co-host of the “Norm Macdonald Live” Adam Eget will also be joining this new Netflix venture, which will maintain some of the current show’s format: a famous guest and an informal chat. “Norm Macdonald Has a Show” will add the occasional outside-the-studio glimpse at “Norm’s world.”

Ok, so The Riddler and Harvey Two-Face weren't the best of friends when the Batman Forever cameras were off. On Norm MacDonald's podcast Norm MacDonald Live, Jim Carrey talked about how his co-star Tommy Lee Jones "hated" him—and told him so to his face while the 1995 movie was in production. Jones has not commented. "I was at a restaurant and the maitre de said, 'Oh, I hear you're working with Tommy Lee Jones. He's over in the corner, having dinner.' And I went over and...and I said, 'Hey Tommy! How you doing?' like that," Carrey said. "And the blood just drained from his face, like he had been thinking about me 24...

In a video interview, Jim Carrey reflects on his time as the Riddler in Batman Forever, and why he and Tommy Lee Jones did not get along.
If you were not around in 1995 when Batman Forever came out, it’s hard to convey just how big the movie was upon release. Val Kilmer, fresh off minting his movie star status via Tombstone, was playing a suaver and more seductive Caped Crusader, Nicole Kidman’s status was just recently on the rise in the U.S., fast food cross-promotions were everywhere, and you couldn’t escape that Seal song about kisses and roses, even if you wanted to.
Still perhaps one of the biggest gets for the franchise’s younger fans was the addition of Jim Carrey as the Riddler. A comedian who became an overnight sensation with slightly less mature audiences following Ace Ventura and The Mask,...

Jerry Seinfeld says that despite the “horrible things” Bill Cosby is accused of doing, he remains the “biggest comedian of all time,” and one who’s “production and quality of material” will never be rivaled. Seinfeld spoke on the latest “Norm MacDonald Live,” an online show that never shies away from awkward conversations. (MacDonald’s deadpan, often-ironic delivery can make it impossible to tell when he’s kidding.) Cosby came up as Seinfeld and MacDonald talked about the comedians who influenced them, and led to a discussion of whether you can separate a person’s art and personal conduct. It included a fair amount of.

In case the mammoth Santa beard didn’t already give it away, David Letterman doesn’t plan on returning to TV any time soon.
The season premiere of “Norm MacDonald Live,” the YouTube series hosted by the former “Weekend Update” anchor is the closest that Letterman’s got recently. In the hour-long episode released Tuesday, Letterman and MacDonald talk on an intimate, audience-free sound stage about the “Late Show” host’s career and what preceded his stints as NBC and CBS hosts.
Eventually, the subject turned to Letterman’s relationship with “The Tonight Show.” While Letterman didn’t address the fallout that led to the early ’90s late night wars, Letterman still offered some thoughts about some current trends in the business.
