Norm just tweeted that the show is returning in early February.

Also, he was on Tom Green's show last night and talked about how a week after being fired from SNL, he found out that Letterman had lobbied to get him the Late Late Show host gig, but Les Moonves wanted Craig Kilborne instead. Fucking Les Moonves.

 

[Beaulieu]

edit : they talk about it around 8 minutes here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Um...skCBDjiKsMmUmI5kcB_MYz&feature=c4-overview-vl

That would have changed my life. Wow

I'm glad the show is coming back. Norm is one of my favorite people in entertainment

 

[Extra Sauce]

Oh man, when I saw this thread bumped I was like... could it be? I didn't want to let myself believe until I read it... hell, I shouldn't let myself believe until the show is actually airing.

I just came to post this. I'm glad to see him back and looking better. I still haven't been able to find a full upload of the Tom Green episode unfortunately.

 

[white dynamite]

So is his podcast ever coming back?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Dat false hope inducing bump.

No offense white dynamite. Can't blame you for keeping the dream alive.

 

[Trent Strong]

This podcast was so good. Really sucks that he stopped doing it.

 

[demon]

So is his podcast ever coming back?

Goddamn you.


God damn you.

I get the impression this is never coming back. Norm seems like an incredibly unreliable person, god bless his heart.

 

[SlowRevolution]

maybe he's just really busy editing the next episode and making it the best it can be.

 

[apocalidiot]

Norm could film himself shitting and it would be amazing

He's too busy tweeting about golf and writing bad short stories on Twitter.

 

[tanooki27]

I binged all norm's podcasts in one weekend, then a couple weeks later i went through them all again. they're the funniest things. the guests are relaxed and great, norm's a genius, and adam egut is the perfect whipping boy.

bring it back, norm

[tanooki27]

if this is true, I cannot wait. norm's interview with Fred Willard will be inspired absurdity.

 

[apocalidiot]

Hopefully this time it's true!

Scroll to the bottom - there's dates listed of when they're happening. I believe it.

This is from January - Norm is looking good, I'm glad he shed some of that weight

I don't believe him.

Very funny interview though. God I miss his podcast.

 

[apocalidiot]

I don't believe him.

http://videopodcastnetwork.com/channels/norm-macdonald/

Believe it brah

 

[phillipgessert]

I liked this podcast, but I'm not sure it was funny enough to keep me hyped after such a long hiatus.

It's more Norm, I don't know what else you're really looking for here

it was hilarious, any norm is better than no norm. Anyway I'll believe it when it comes back.

 

[apocalidiot]

Norm just did six or so shows in Portland last week... I really hope he does a show in Chicago soon.

Are his standup dates listed anywhere online? I would definitely do a road-trip in order to see him.

Edit: That didn't take much work.
http://www.dead-frog.com/comedians/tour_dates/norm_macdonald

He's in Bellevue Washington this week and he's going to be in Austin at the beginning of June.

 

[noobasuar]

He's seriously one of the best interviewers ever. I'm crazy excited to see this come back.

 

[blahness]

I cannot wait for the new episodes. This is the only podcast that can regularly make me genuinely laugh out loud.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Awesome, I'm the one that posted the tweet last time he said it was coming back, and then he deleted the tweet lol, but sounds like it's happening this time now that we've got confirmed guests and stuff.

I will admit my enjoyment did vary a lot with the guest, I remember one or two of the episodes being a little flat to me.

 

[Jerkson]

Artie Lange needs a job. I wouldn't mind hearing him on the pod.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I genuinely thought Artie Lange was dead and have thought that for a long time now

Nice! Glad he's doing something sort of like a tour and not just doing one off dates. My hope for him to get to Chicago is now a possibility. Norm is awesome and hopefully he makes some dough off this

 

[Jerkson]

No, but he did just have a brief scare with "diabetic shock".

 

[HoodWinked]

i was at helium in portland for norm's stand up i thought he was funny but the people i went with were lukewarm on it and even thought his opener was better.

I don't know if it's been uploaded full online yet. It might be on TV if you have whatever the channel its on

 

[Toparaman]

Well, I am personally hyped. Norm MacDonald Live practically made my summer last year. The other popular comedy podcasts just don't do it for me.

I don't want to be a buzzkill, but I'm pretty sure those listings have been there since last summer (he went offline last June).

Oh well, we can only hope for the best.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Agreed. AFAIK he wasn't doing live shows or anything for a while. I'm glad to see he's alive and looking (relatively) healthy.

I hope he makes his way to NYC.

i was at helium in portland for norm's stand up i thought he was funny but the people i went with were lukewarm on it and even thought his opener was better.

I've always wondered how good his live shows are.

I'm a gigantic fan but my GF hates him. I tried to play his 'Me doing Standup' album on a road trip one time and she didn't laugh once.

 

[CyclopsRock]

I´ve been working late recently and I find these are great to listen to, as well as random Youtube clips. Someone cut together a 2 hour "best of" on Youtube (not anything from his podcast - it predates those I believe) and some of it was just hilarious. That story about him and Drake Sather at the script writing class had my literally tearing up with laughter.

I watched 3 of the podcasts - the Russel Brand one ("Hey, isn´t it funny - none of us here drink, but for me it´s because I don´t like it, and for both of you it´s because you like it too much!"), the Andy Dick and that guy from Big Bang Theory who told the amazing MJ story. I really enjoyed them, but I´m waiting til I next have to work late to listen to more.

 

[Kinyou]

Norm returns May 12th

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Holy shit, Norm's looking great!

 

[SlowRevolution]

while we wait: norm on some youtube comedy show if you haven't seen it.

 

[Tom_Cody]

!!!

This deserves a new thread. I'll make one in a bit if no one else does.

 

[Kinyou]

Haha, this is amazing

 

[Helmholtz]

Well that was a hell of a break. But I'm glad this is coming back. Some of those previous episodes were pretty hilarious.
I'm also secretly hoping he lands the late late show gig, but I'm guessing the odds of that are very slim.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Holy shit, Norm's looking great!

He lost 45 pounds.

 

[Aesius]

What a tremendous gulf in talent there is between Norm and his "co-hosts".

 

[fritolay]

Of all comedians, of all actors, Norm is the one guy that stands out as someone that I wish would have more success but somehow doesn't, ever since he left SNL and then the movie Dirty Work, he hasn't had much luck. (not counting voice overs)

His TV series, multiple, were not good. I actually liked his sports show, but it was cancelled.

We need more Norm.
