I have a feeling this will be yet another thing Norm flakes on. Geniuses tend to be unstable.

Somebody better break the news to Rob Schneider then, since Norm very publicly invited him to do his podcast just a few weeks ago.

I hope I'm wrong!

Do I not understand Twitter or does Norm delete most of his stuff? It mostly only goes back a little ways, other than some weird older stuff.

He constantly deletes stuff.

When else in his career did he flake on things? I'm not keen on his history.

There was a show that Sam Simon was developing for him and there was a lot of behind the scenes work being done on it, and apparently he ended up just disappearing and never showed up again so they cancelled the show. Sam tried and tried to reach him but couldn't. Supposedly it was related to gambling.

Also I believe they ended up getting Adam Carolla to do the voice of Death on Family Guy because Norm was unreliable and flakey, not showing up for recording sessions and what not. There are TV and podcast appearances he's just not shown up for too... I think I heard things about him not showing up for SNL rehearsals...

I think it was Artie Lange who told a story about how Norm planned to pull a major prank when he was hosting SNL. The plan being, once he was done his monologue (which if you look it up is not very flattering of SNL), he would immediately head to the elevators and leave the building. Apparently he decided not to at the last minute, deciding it would be career suicide, not to mention a dick move.

That's not so much him being a lazy degenerate but just him getting a bit of payback.

I finally watched this after avoiding it, simply because I didn't want to look at that loving douche in the bow-tie. I made a huge mistake. Norm is such an rear end, I love it. Just his obvious contempt for the whole thing. He's definitely the coolest motherfucker alive. I imagine it must be hard to always be the funniest person in the room x1000.

It's such a cheap shot, but it cracked me up when Norm just pointed with his thumb at Adam Eget and explained to Carl Reiner that he's a "filthy bum".

"Who Jackie?" is such an incredible hollywood bullshit story, this dude was a paid writer on a show for two years and he didn't even know one of the main characters. It's amazing.

I remember hearing some story about a writer for the Simpsons pitching something for Bart and referring to him as "Doug".

Is there a twitter account that just retweets Norm's non-sports related tweets? I'm thinking of starting an account to do that.

I really hope he finishes that books he's been working on for awhile. I imagine he'll burn the final draft or something because well, Norm.

Norm is going to be a judge on next season's Last Comic Standing. Never thought I'd watch that show, but I have to now.

Your guess is as good as mine. I watched a few minutes of it live, Norm looked disheveled and miserable. I decided I would skim through it later, and now it's disappeared.

Anyone else catch Norm's quasi-breakdown on Twitter a day or two ago? He seems to have deleted it but it was a long rant about getting outside, not doing drugs, just kind of this rant about lucidity you'd expect from an addict who's seen the light. Ended with a bit about quitting technology for a week, but with baseball on, obviously that didn't last. Might have been drunk Norm or trolling Norm, but it sounded like headed-to-rehab Norm.

poo poo, I hate when I miss these. I find I'm always just sifting through golf commentary nowadays. I wish someone would do a twitter account called "NormMinusSports" that just copies and tweets all his non-sports related stuff.

He did look a bit worn out on the podcast a few times.

I was genuinely concerned when I watched the last golf-cast thing, he was super late and when he showed up he looked like such a loving mess. He wasn't making any jokes, he was really serious; kind of a different person. They never put it up after it aired, which doesn't surprise me.

This channel's worth subscribing to, it's a guy who recorded a bunch of Norm stuff on VHS & is uploading it now.

This is loving great, I can't believe this was out in the ether and I'm only seeing it now.

edit: Just a side note, I had a new found respect for Larry King when he laughed really hard at Norm's "Guinness Book of loving Retards" joke on the podcast.
