Colin Quinn Remembers Norm Macdonald | We Might Be Drunk Podcast

[@jalrebass]

Setting up gigs just to die a month later absolutely sounds like something Norm would do.

[@georgetheodosi7719]

Maybe.. but Saget said Norm thought he was gonna beat it, even near the end

[@thecalebwalker]

​@@georgetheodosi7719telling Saget that he was going to beat it (knowing he wasn't) also sounds like something he would do to be fair

[@georgetheodosi7719]

@@thecalebwalker It certainly does; but the thing is, like all his "showbiz friends", Saget didn't even know he was sick. So I assume he was told this after the fact by Norm's family or by Lori Jo Hoekstra

[@trentlomelino]

The best thing about how Norm went about his cancer, isn't that he told no one, which is bad ass, but he made himself laugh knowing unwittingly friends were apart of the joke. Fucking legend.

[@elarr8733]

Norm: "Sarah Silverman - hysterical. Who's funnier than her? Except dudes, but..."

[@ericbaumgartner6558]

so funny. first thing i noticed too

[@Zelig2Cents]

I loved Norm's calls to Dennis Miller where he would do this feigned ventriloquist act. Dennis would always bring up his crotchety old dummy, asking how that was going and Norm would always protest about being asked to "take him out of the bag". Old Alec Magerison or some such name as I recall. Norm would always say he didn't like working with that dummy because the dummy was a holocaust denier. Nobody could extract funny out of absurdity like Norm!

1:10 I agree with Mark on this one. I think when death is that close, you are not really thinking about pranks. You would be thinking more about deceiving yourself into believing that everything will be fine. But with Norm, you really never know. :D He made so many jokes about death and mortality, he may really meant this as a prank.

so now i love colin quinn

[@cleech74]

In the past, he has said he doesn’t like doing podcasts, but he has been in comedy forever, and has good stories & anecdotes. Recently, he’s made the rounds, and in the right setting (like this one), we get to hear some great conversations about the environment business. He also seems to be down to earth, and just a normal dude. His reluctance to over share, or even consider himself a celebrity, is why he’s held in high regard by other comics, and the fans of this type of content.

[@theeternalnow6506]

Go check out the Robert kelly and sometimes colin quinn podcast from many years ago. Peak colin. Depressed and angry just trolling his friend.

[@Frank7489]

If you enjoyed this I’d recommend listening to Colin’s appearances on Opie and Anthony. He kills with Norton and Patrice. There’s even an episode with Colin and Norm on O and A although it’s pretty short (like half an hour)

[@cleech74]

@@Frank7489 Thanks for the recommendations. Luckily, we get to revisit some of those great guest appearances, especially the comics they had on regularly. A lot of hilarious conversations that went with them just being themselves. I’m from Baltimore, and during those prime O&A years, I was listening to Don & Mike. I only knew about O&A from the minor beef those shows had. Several years ago, and especially during the pandemic, I started listening to the O&A stuff on yt. Not sure if I’ve already heard the Quinn episodes, but I’ll check them out.

1:56 Andy Samberg basically did the same thing when he was on a roast. Norm went old school and cheesy and bombed for fun until the audience went along for the ride. Andy went super nice and cheesy and bombed for fun until the audience went along for the ride.

[@zero11010]

Other comedians who would do that kind of thing: * Andy Kaufman * Harland Williams Look for comedians who have an unrelenting nature that they don’t conform to the expectations of an audience. Comedians who would basically bomb for fun. Comedian who go WAY too far on a bit. I’m sure I’m missing some who else?

[@MeanKitchnerLeslie]

When I saw Andy on the Franco roast the first thing I thought of was Norm's set!

[@federicobenavides7107]

andy killed, had Hader in stitches (not that rare, but still). Norm had people giving awkward looks till the end.

[@zero11010]

​@@federicobenavides7107 Sure. According to Bob (his friend and post roast interviews of this are online), Norm just didn't want to do the roast. So, he didn't really participate. He told jokes from an old joke book from the 1940s. People keep calling it brilliant. It was different. At the end of the day, he's still there to entertain. From what Bob said they had to cut a LOT of it out because it almost every joke was bombing. Is it brilliant to intentionally bomb? I don't think so (maybe if you're making a specific point). Is it brilliant to retell someone else's jokes? Definitely not. Is it interesting to use a totally different approach? For sure. What he did was definitely interesting. Comics liked it more than the audience. I think there's something to that.
