Comedy - Nerdist Podcast - Episode #32 : Norm Macdonald - Talk with Celebrity
Norm Macdonald
Norm Macdonald (SNL, The Norm Show, stand up) talks with Chris about their favorite late night shows, they tell horror stories of network testing and Norm talks about his Larry King impression. Norm then talks about offensive jokes, what it was like writing on SNL and his new book Based on a True Story. Norm also asks everyone some philosophical questions!

Description
I am Chris Hardwick. I am on TV a lot and have a blog at nerdist podcast. This podcast is basically just me talking about stuff and things with my two nerdy friends Jonah Ray and Matt Mira, and usually someone more famous than all of us. Occasionally we swear because that is fun. I hope you like it, but if you don't I'm sure you will not hesitate to unfurl your rage in the 'reviews' section because that's how the Internet works.

I never got to meet Norm in person and I think purposely was, much like Norm himself, far too afraid to do so. But I’ve been something of a historian of him for a while, out of deep love and admiration. I’ve often thought of what I would say if I ever met him that wouldn’t seem too fawning (he did not accept compliments easily), but would convey my deep love for him. I’ve narrowed it down to: “You repeat yourself often, and so does my grandfather. But I can listen to you tell the same stories over and over with nothing but pure love and enjoyment, just like with my grandfather.”

At 1:16:56 Norm talks about a courageous death. Somebody took their own life because they were sick. Norm by the time of this interview had cancer for 5 years. He talks about the guy going through cancer alone and of course the interviewer hasn't a clue because why would he. So fucking depressing to think of what he was dealing with while still being able to maintain his comic genius and incredible story telling. At 1:18:20 Norm hints that he might have an ailment but say's if he did he would not talk about it.

There's another interview that he does with a radio host on a CBC show out of... Vancouver, I think? It's on here if you search around. Anyway, it's not "funny" for the most part but it's pretty intimate and knowing in hindsight that Norm knew he was dying while talking about death and God and how he wanted to be remembered and what it meant is just astounding. Encouraging. Bravest funny guy ever to own a doghouse.

I caught that as well, he was telegraphing his private battle and what we would hear about 6 years later. Sad to say, he probably saw the shallowness of the world he was in and realized that it was better to keep it to only a handful of people. I know when I fought my battle (2 years free), it was always nice having prayers for me, the extra kindness and consideration from friends, coworkers and customers; and it really gave me a better outlook on life and that I was going to get through it. The pain of what he went through was so unfair, I only hope his final years were comfortable and fulfilling.

There's actually a quote he says that describes it rather perfectly I think. "Comedy is surprises. So If you tell a joke expecting to make someone laugh and they don't. that's funny. " The more you think about it the more Norms comedy makes sense I feel because the content itself isn't necessarily funny by its own but the delivery is so surprising in such a unexpected way that it becomes funny. Many people have made this comment but it's a great irony of being a Norm and yet so diametrically opposed to the Norm.

yeah. it's clear watching all these old interviews (30 yrs. worth or so) that he wasn't the same toward the end. His comedy was still great, but his spirit was not the same.

I really wish there were more Good norm interviews or conversations with intelligent people, I love all the goofy funny stuff of course, but I find his musings to be so fucking engaging. One of my favorite things he said before was about how it’s easy to make people laugh but they may feel quite I’ll after, like Dice Clay, but it’s better to leave people with a smile.. i butchered the quote but i do think about it a lot, and I’ve used it to compliment a couple of people before and they came back to me months later saying it was beautiful!

Funny you picked up on this too, i did a video on it about a year ago or so. It's such a bizarre thing to lie about, but it's not too surprising when most regular people lie about the most ridiculous things, I'd assume celebrities are far more ridiculous being that they are always "on", and feel the need to always have a story/something exciting to say

Norm has put to words perfectly the faint idea i've always had about the difference between 8 mm film and camcorder tape and why it's so much better at making the banal seem significant. it is exactly the way memory is, how in the fuck did we do that?

Most likely because our brains have aligned memory with photography because it's a literal visual representation of the past. It won't be long (or possibly could already be happening) that lo-fi Myspace era digital photography will be people's ancient memories of things.

How revealing, he hints as his illness, and he tells us why he never told us he was dying. He thought it was brave, to not be a burden, or seen as weak, or frail, a weak pathetic man but as we remembered him. Some guy standing behind a microphone telling jokes. Chris did what Marc Maron couldn't but Chris is kinda a dumb guy.

I remember I was sitting at a park bench at a rest stop back in the early 2000's in Connecticut just reading an article in the paper and minding my own business when I saw this ol chunk of coal emmerge from the dim gloomy hallows of the mens bathroom followed by a haggared looking Adam Egret. Absolutely ridiculous. Found out later he was involved in a seal clubbing so it doesnt surprise me to what disturbed depths he'd dwell.
