[@citypopFM]

It's a crime Norm wasn't more a regular on O&A, he absolutely murdered without trying.

[@RmnGnzlz]

Jimmy prefered to go for Lesnar over Norm. I wouldn't come back either.

[@citypopFM]

@@RmnGnzlz Which is disgusting especially from Jimmy who's a fellow comic (albeit many tiers below Norm) when Norm always gives the absolute funniest interviews and best radio/podcasts.

[@JacaboBlanco]

It's a crime Norm hasn't had his own show for the last two decades. My all time favorite person.

@@JacaboBlanco He did, a sports show. It was hilarious, you can check full episodes here on YT.

12 minutes in and Opie is too intimidated to speak. Love these ones

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

Opie wasn't the talent. He was a good straight man that set up Ant to knock it outta the park. Ant was the talent hands down. Opie was the business guy with radio experience, that's it. Anthony always stole the show just being himself, Opie was better off letting the talent shine.

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 That's not true back in the WNEW days, maybe you were a satellite listener, as per your 'everybody' designation. He was worse on satellite, but the earlier days he was always setting up Anthony, and Norton wasn't there in the way of anything. And Norton was in the way, but he got a lot better as Opie became less interested and more bitter. The WNEW days were where the gold was, they were on fire and stomping Stern into the mud, without even trying, just being themselves. The Opie hate was non-existent back then, they were well oiled machine and kicking much ass. It wasn't the Anthony show.

[@Dustincooley40]

I was thinking he wasn’t in studio until he mentioned sports to quin

[@APersonsusername]

Dumb panicky Norton basically kicked norm out to talk to Brock Lesnar of all people. Sometimes I’m happy this whole thing crumbled.

Jimmy was only ever good for the occasional snappy one liner. Since he had his own show he does the same shit bit without the panic since it’s his show. Porn stars and UFC fighters for days.

[@iam501dsr]

At 23:38, it's a hilarious story, but it also suggests Norm knew about his cancer as early as humanly possible and we got to have him a lot longer than we would have otherwise. RIP Norm. You were an enormous gift!

[@gregkosinski2303]

What’s crazy is that, at least according to what’s been put out, that this was one year before he was diagnosed with the cancer that killed him. I believe he had health issues his entire life though

[@matthillman8728]

He said "your only chance is early detection.", so you are probably right

[@assburger5472]

he had cancer at least 3 times, maybe more. the one that got him, i think he got diagnosed with 8 years prior.

The whole time Norm withheld the fact that he had a death sentence. He kept that inside and just laughed at the whole concept of death, dying and disease and made everyone laugh. Norm wasn't just a legendary comedian, he was a legend as a human being. Maybe even a saint, if you believe in that kind of thing. I personally think it's a bunch of horseshit. But he's a good man.
