The guy is such a sly ballbuster. There really isn't anyone like him I know in entertainment. I mean, he is incredible. He goes on a two minute long tirade saying how much he appreciates the guest and goes really deep into the emotional core of why he likes him (''it's one thing to make people laugh, it's another to make people smile'') and then flips right back to pot jokes at the expense of the guest. Norm is sharper than any razor you could get from the Dollar Shave Club.

They shared anecdotes they already knew as friends before and said they hung out a bit in the past so perhaps the interview chemistry wasn't there but they seemed somewhat close. I guess Norm just didn't want to bust the balls of a closer friend than Todd Glass. I'm just spit-balling though.

When Norm was bitching about a comic that used to explain every joke, is it just me or was it a veiled rib directed towards Todd Glass? Adam Eget seemed like he had a ''I know what you're doing here'' laugh.

rear end Catchcum posted:My bad. I didn't know he was divorced. When you say it was a thing, is there a story to that? Howard stern tried talking about it a lot when he was somewhat of a regular guest and Norm didn't want to talk about it. It seems like he was perhaps fooling around or something but that was years ago. They go on the subject a little in the old clips you can find on the internet, they're pretty funny too!

Basically a good friend of his would invite Norm over and while the friend was outside lawnmowing Norm would gently caress the wife of the dude in the rear end. It really isn't anything more than that. My personal theory is that it could be Roseanne.

Looks like Norm is lobbying for the Q radio show on Twitter. I'd be really pumped for that to happen but I'm pretty sure there aren't any chances of it really happening.

I'm serious too, I mean, he has been asked by howard stern or someone (I forget) about her and he kept mum on the whole subject. The kiss on the lips at the end of the podcast she was a guest on also speaks for itself.

PK loving SUBBAN posted:There's no way he's being serious, Q is just a hot topic on twitter he's attaching himself to. yeah, I thought about that, the brother does have some pull but lobbying on his end ''publicly'' can't hurt. At worst it's gonna make him trend a bit on twitter.

A lot of comedians consider Norm as a maniac in life but never went into it. Knowing he's a gambling addict, it wouldn't surprise me he's an addict to other stuff too. One of his best friends for a long time was Artie Lang after all.

I'm sure some people here know already but the moth joke Norm did on Conan a few years back seems to have been inspired by the events of the book "The Death of Ivan Ilyich". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Ivan_Ilyich Looks like a good read!

I really like norm, but reading comments and people responding to him on twitter is the saddest most frustrating thing in life. it's just a bunch of goddamn references to bits he's done twenty years ago and that have no relevance to the subjects he talks about. It's got to be really depressing to him.

Ariza posted:I was on a Norm on YouTube wormhole and I watched this for some reason: He was kinda obsessed about Bill Clinton and a supposed hit he put out on a dude back in Arkansas. No idea about the backstory but most Weekend Update bits he did on the subject are online. No idea about the Bill hit but as some youtube commentary said, when they brought out a picture of GW with Norm on it, he took the gloves off and dished it out in their direction a little.

The man needs a paycheck from time to time. After reading his fake-real bio I am curious as to if he's actually still paying for some bad gambles he's done in the past.

Honestly, I'd like to talk about this, who thinks it's ever coming back? I think he has let go of the idea of using the podcast as a vehicle for self-promotion and might just go fulltime into writing.

Puppy Galaxy posted:People have speculated that it's not coming out until after the special. I could see Netflix having a non compete clause (don't put any content out on other streaming services within X number of months of the special). Or they acquired it and are holding it back so the special gets max exposure. I really wish that will be true, but I believe Norm loves loving with his audience much more than doing the podcast.

I like the thread being open. We could at least leave it that way for a month or so after the special airs. by then we will probably know it's over.

there's a Tom green live interview where Tom offered a jaegermeister shot to Norm. cue Norm asking for like ten other shots in just as many minutes. he was blasted pretty quick. the guy definitely didn't only have gambling for a vice.

So you haven't watched the interview in question nor have heard people talk about the guy anywhere I gather? Norm is notorious for is lack of self-control. Instead of putting your celebrities up on pedestals you could just accept he's a flawed old chunk of coal that we all wish will one day turn into a diamond.

I like the ones where Norm fucks with his guests the most. The Todd Glass one is great for that and the one with Stephen Merchant too. Edit : The one with gilbert where they gently caress with Adam Eget a ton is great too. Odddzy fucked around with this message at 21:35 on May 1, 2017 |
