Norm MacDonald Joins Charlie the Tortoise on Fox 2 News to Pick Super Bowl 44 Winner

Comedian Norm McDonald (SNL) Chooses Super Bowl 44 Winner with Charlie the Tortoise from PetropolisCharlie the Tortoise from Petropolis in Chesterfield appeared on Fox 2 this past Friday, reprising his Superbowl Pick from earlier in the week. Norm McDonald (SNL), famous comedian and actor, was in the studio to help explain the natural instinct of a giant tortoise, and their ability to choose Super Bowl Winners. This is a must see!

Referring to Charlie the Tortoise, Norm said “I was in town… specifically to see [a giant tortoise]. I went to the tortoise store, but they were all regular sized tortoises…”  Tim Ezel asked him if the giant tortoise on the floor, in front of them, was big enough – and Norm jumped and said, “What The!? Good Lord…” Tim told Norm that Charlie was going to pick a Super Bowl 44 winner, and Norm replied “Actually, most giant tortoises can do that.  That is what they’re known for. They’re known for a couple of things… they’re herbavores, and they’re very good handicappers.

This was a great segment, and Norm had a great stand-up show.  I went to see it on Friday night, and had a great time.  Norm is funnier than ever, and had the whole crowd laughing non-stop!  If you ever get a chance to see him, don’t miss it!  You will not regret it.

    What is funny Charlie actually picked the colts again if you listen towards the end of the clip you can hear me say I don’t believe he is going towards the colts. If you have money, you might want to bet on the Colts. Charlie passed on the Saints with his favorite an apple laying on the picture! Great Segment – really fun. I was nervous to do improv with Norm. He wasn’t suppose to come on our segment, hahaha 🙂
