Bob Dylan Was a Norm Macdonald Fan

[@gregevenden6515]

Bob Dylan is my favourite artist and Norm is my favourite comedian, and for the longest time I had no idea these two admired one another. In my opinion, Norm's stand-up has a dylanesque quality in the performance and delivery that's unmistakable. It's more than the cadences.

[@leadgendigestsupport7855]

I never noticed that similarity until you mentioned it; - you are correct! :-)

[@ChipsWinston]

Norm’s novel is very Dylan-esque…

[@mcnallyaar]

You'll notice, Paul plays Dylan songs on I think Norm's first three appearances on Letterman.

[@mcnallyaar]

The first one was "Like a Rolling Stone."

[@generyan4043]

Norm would play “Don’t Think Twice, it is alright” when he walked on stage when to do standup.

Ringo! Ringoooooo! Ha, Ringoooooo!

[@scottwitt8839]

I pronounce things much the same as both of them, I am from Minnesota (upper midwest) and I am often mocked for the way I pronounce certain words or phrases. It is a Minnesota, Canadian thing but used by very few anymore.

[@its-420-somewhere]

Iron Ranger here. You are spot on. Uff da.

[@mcnallyaar]

Also, I mean, Norm's son is named Dylan.

[@ImNotGregGraffin]

Yeah, but Norm apparently named him after the writer Dylan Thomas, not Bob Dylan, as Norm’s dad used to read him Thomas’s writings as a kid

Hey, where does this air (assuming that is from now)?

[@Boogalarizer]

I have never understood Conans fascination with someone saying the t.v. ive never heard it phrased any different. Its THE T.V. thats what it is.

[@weimingsheng3214]

I've always wondered about this: is the story legit? It sounds terribly similar to that famous twitter typist story of norm's. could it have been possible that the podcaster (whoever he is) took one of norm's made-up stories literally and didn't get the punchline, and norm didn't bother to correct him? it does sound like the podcaster has no idea about norm's twitter bob dylan story.

[@paintedpassport]

The typist story wasn't the only story Norm tweeted about Bob Dylan. Here's another one: i.imgur.com/TyGI8VW.jpg

[@donaldwebb]

@@paintedpassport Is that all made up then?

[@AverySuzuki]

Norm did write a whole twitter thread telling the story of his visit with dylan. Absolutely was not joking. I think norm didnt speak about it because he didnt want people thinking he was telling a funny story. His tone in writing about it is very different than when he tells his made-up stories

Andy’s jealousy of norms genius is embarrassing.

Norm´s a genius, Andy sits on a couch for a living. Of course he´s jealous.

[@NormieNormieNormie]

[@leadgendigestsupport7855]

Deeply closeted, but verbally-insistently not and had a son from a previous marriage (not that THAT means anything). Oh, and liked the women, but was a deeply closeted gay man. I'm glad I could add some clarity to the question! ;-)

[@incaguaya]

No, he was just so accepting that he would have sex with any of them

[@saaketh83]

He owned a dog house.
