Norm was the only comedy podcast I could stomach. He was the only one who wasn’t high or drunk. He attempted a monologue and structured it with genuine questions and written jokes.

I like the way Adam Savage describes his pathway to success, which is says there wasn’t one. He says that when you look back it’s easy to see how one life decision lead to another that lead to another and to look at it as a linear path you followed, but that when you look back to when you made those decisions it wasn’t like that at all. There wasn’t a path in front of you, there were dozens or hundreds or thousands and each of those decisions came with a certain amount of faith that you were making the right decision. For a lot of people, the true key to success is recognizing opportunities and getting lucky to be in the right place at the right time to take advantage of them.

Bo Burnham said something very similar to this. When asked if he had any advice for aspiring comics/entertainers. He basically said to "Give up" Not that they shouldn't try.

i was able to go to the gym every day when i was like 25. After grad school, and now...its so stupid to think everyone needs to be highly motivated all the time. We have all seen the articles. We are working longer hours than boomers, have longer commutes, have more debt from school, cars cost more adjuted for inflation, while we make less and have worse benefits. We are showing all the signs of a tramautized generation. We all work for like 8 to 10 hours a day (those of us on a m-f theoretically 7 hour a day) plus commutes, plus food making, and chores. And making time to stay in touch with family and friends. And I just have my wife in my household, if i had kids....

the entertainment landscape WAS significantly different back in 1987. There was no spotify, apple music, itunes, etc. People had to buy $12 cassettes, records, and CD's later in the 80's, and music artists (and comedians) made WAY WAY more from selling recordings. That made them less ambitious about hitting the road because it sucks, and the public was less willing to spend tons of money on live events. Back then a $30-$40 concert ticket seemed appropriate for the biggest of acts. Now, touring, for years, is all some acts do after releasing a record because that's the ONLY way to make money off their creative efforts. People are way more willing to spend $300, $400, $1000 per ticket, making the gross revenues from a concert event or tour look WAY bigger today compared to the 80's. What Eddie Murphy did is way more impressive with this context.

There are heights that you can take anything by truly understanding it. That being said Jimmy also uses a lot of "your mum" jokes that even a 12yo would be embarrassed to rely on.

[@YungFusebox]

This. I hardly ever listen to JRE anymore and when I saw Jimmy Carr was on there I felt obliged to do so, being a Brit in my early 30's meant I practically grew up on him. I found it so jarring that he was buying into this whole Rogan-comedy-elitist mentality bullshit when all I wanted was fart jokes and quips about tax evasion.

[@richardw1043]

Interesting take, I really enjoyed the intellectual commentary from Jimmy.

[@snowfrosty1]

Tbh, my stance is that BOTH Jimmy Carr & Steve Halkias are right & fair.

[@NuttyMongrel]

Agreed. Hearing anyone describe the intricacies of their profession is probably gonna sound a bit ridiculous to a layperson. Regardless of whatever other faults he has, it doesn't bother me to hear Carr do that.

[@ivanivanovichrasputin3098]

If that’s what you got out of Jimmy Carr’s comedy, then you probably haven’t seen anything from him beyond a couple of KZbin compilations. That or you couldn’t understand most of his jokes, so only the ones you could understand stuck with you.

Humility in a celebrity is incredibly rare. Norm was a class act. Chappelle is the same. We're lucky to still have Dave. Dude is a legend.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

Norm doesn’t have to be genius to be exceptional. He was smarter than average, not a genius. But he was extremely quick witted, humble, and (most importantly) uncompromisingly authentic. He just wasn’t afraid to be himself, or lead people on a five minute path to nowhere in the midst of a late night tv interview. He read books, but watched sports more. He was mostly sober, but a complete gambling addict and an obsessive with his work. But he truly didn’t care and that’s sadly so uncommon these days that it’s conflated with actual genius.

[@jloiterer]

This is so damn true, Rogan has elevated people to levels their talent does not rate. Every part of this video was so spot on. I especially loved how real comics like Burr and Chapelle can give Rogan crap on his own show because he pretends to have been on their level as a Standup Comic when he never ever EVER was. He was 4th banana in a sitcom called NewsRadio. He works for UFC and he hosted Fear Factor - and he should be proud of doing that stuff - but he really wants people to think that he was an incredible standup comic. He never was on the level of the comics that are household names and neither are any of his sycophant guest comics. I remember when he convinced Shaub to quit MMA and become a Faux comic. That's what Joe Rogan himself is in terms of his standup comedy - he's a Faux Comedian.

[@dontworryaboutit5490]

You’re more delusional than joe Rogan

[@jpscharged]

You really are projecting some deep seated hatred on to Joe. Is it really that big a deal? Is it really though? The hilarity of it all is your lack of awareness that you are contributing to his clout by wasting your time with that word salad above. You are a true 🤡

[@RC-hv1yx]

Except guys like Burr and Chapelle don’t call him out on that aspect. They also act like he’s on their level because they’re friends with him, but deep down they know he isn’t lol. Pretending Rogan is in the same league as Louie, Burr, Chapelle, Chris Rock, Doug Stanhope, etc. is absolutely mind boggling.

[@McLovinMcFlurry]

I think Rogan is a good comedian, and he's been in the world almost his whole adult life. I think commenters like you are kinda pathetic, purely because you think you know alot more about these people than you do

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

Rogan is a genius. Instead of making his terrible standup better, he became a podcasting empire and used his influence to make the next generation of comics so bad that he looks good in comparison. Maybe that head swelling isn't from juicing after all.
