Saget, who was in his early 20s, had his first conversation with Macdonald at the bar.
Years later, when they were formally introduced, Saget remembered their first interaction.
Saget was understandably emotional at times during the podcast.

“He cared about people a lot,” Saget said.
“And he felt the human condition [so] deeply that it affected him in different ways.”
Saget also said 20 minutes of Macdonald purposefully bombing during the roast never made the air.
“He made me better,” Saget said.
“He made me better as a comedian.
More importantly, he was a genuine friend, and our friendship was really very deep.”
“Hell, I’m always going to love him.
I mean, there’s not another guy like this guy.”
“Norm Macdonald was a gift to all of us,” Saget said.
“And I will miss him always, and I will always love him.”
