It was rumored that Norm was holding out on releasing these episodes to sell the show to Netflix, but it appears nothing happened on that end.

Norm has all the antics you come to expect from a late night show.

Make sure you buy your Mangrate in anticipation of this momentous event.

Will this season be more than two episodes long?

 

[Camwi]

Will this season be more than two episodes long?

Appears to be a continuation of Season 3.

Can't wait! This show deserves to be way more popular (shame it didn't go to Netflix).

[Ampersands]

took long enough

 

[Beer Monkey]

ya got any gum?

 

[Polari]

So hyped. I wonder if they'll edit them down at all now they're no longer doing them live (although come to think of it was the third season even live?)

 

[SpaceWolf]

I hope no-one brings up The Handmaid's Tale.

 

[Jashobeam]

Norm has a channel on youtube? subscribed! big fan of his SNL days and enjoyed his recent netflix special.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

I hope no-one brings up The Handmaid's Tale.

What does this mean?

[shawnbuddy]

I used to watch David Letterman every night, and, honestly, this is understated. The "Ya got any gum?" joke would have been driven into the ground for weeks or months.

I miss it so much.

 

[fastford58]

Every time I think this is officially dead, it rises again.

Zombie podcast.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Norm MacDonald Live is the best internet-only series ever. Nothing comes close. The man is a master of his craft.

Also, a Mike Tyson episode has been filmed as well.

I could watch Conan and Norm go back and forth all day

Ugh. He couldn't be more wrong about the show if he tried.

 

[Cactus]

Ugh. He couldn't be more wrong about the show if he tried.

If it makes any difference, he's referring specifically to the book.

 

[Elwood Blues]

The ole Chuck of coal penned the greatest comedic novel of all time. He can criticize what he wants.

 

[Closer Two]

It's amazing how consistently hilarious and brilliant this podcast is and Norm just doesn't give a shit because it's not on TV.

Sometimes he gives even less of shit depending on the guest. Adam Sandler, who's an old friend, gets a nice walk down memory lane whereas Stephen Merchant gets put through the uncomfortable wringer.

 

[Sigma722]

Currently listening to this audio book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0GDSHY/?tag=neogaf0e-20

It's narrated by Norm, and it is ridiculous.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Currently listening to this audio book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L0GDSHY/?tag=neogaf0e-20

That book is a masterpiece. It was really done a disservice by being marketed as a "memoir". It is a novel. I still need to listen to the audiobook, I bet it's amazing.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I guess I'll need to sail the high seas to find that audiobook because it's still not sold in Canada (geo-locked).

 

[Kinyou]

I hope those guests are true. That's some good stuff

 

[Staf]

I love Norm!

 

[SpaceWolf]

If it makes any difference, he's referring specifically to the book.

It doesn't make a difference. It's an equally asinine opinion.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

It doesn't make a difference. It's an equally asinine opinion.

He's an ansinine human being lately. All in the name of becoming "a better person".

The man and his rants are puzzling. His followers on Twitter are scary. I don't know what's going on with him anymore.

 

[Chumley]

ya got any gum?

Lmao spacey's impressions are always so good

Norm has been a fucking nut with really suspect opinions about all kinds of shit for ages now. He's still hilarious but every time he veers away from jokes it becomes painful.

 

[uncelestial]

For some reason, I have to watch this short clip of Norm talking about 9/11 like once a month or so. I've been doing it for a long time. I just love it.

This fucking guy could be a comedy professor.

Reminds me of that tragedy.

 

[uncelestial]

Reminds me of that tragedy.

Oh, 9/11!

 

[ZeoVGM]

I could watch Conan and Norm go back and forth all day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7K-kaelQEs

Oh my god, that last joke.

Dying.

 

[GeoramA]

Oh, 9/11!

I walked through blood and bone.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Finally

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I remember him being really mean to Stephen Merchant.

I still don't know why to this day.

Why pick on Stephen Merchant of all people?

 

[Cactus]

It doesn't make a difference. It's an equally asinine opinion.

How I understand it is that he believes The Handmaid's Tale presents an excessively contrived dystopian world that cannot be equated with our contemporary political landscape due to its sheer implausibility. Any attempt to do so would be overstating and embellishing what he believes to be a shallow and vapid piece of sci-fi literature. Whether you agree or disagree, I don't think it's fair to call his argument unreasonable.

...but then he calls it a "deeply paranoid feminist look into the future," which seems strangely disparaging and dismissive of feminism.

Norm is an intelligent guy, very well read, and I've loved and respected his comedy for the last two decades, so it really disappoints me when he goes on these angry and borderline disrespectful twitter rants.

 

[Real Hero]

I remember him being really mean to Stephen Merchant.

Probs because he's a dirty liberal

 

[Friend of Sonic]

I second everyone's disturbance about him veering off the path of moral identity that we're all comfortable with. It sucks when one of your idols starts acting like a shithead. But he is funny as fuck. Glad the show is coming back! One episode season this time around?

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Norm MacDonald isn't liberal. We knew this.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Without a doubt, I would still argue he is single handily the best comic alive today.

He's not all that intelligent. He's really funny but has completely dumbfuck political opinions.

 

[Cactus]

Yup, and it's not even close.

 

[IamDodongo]

Norm's wit is really something to behold, and I consider him a comedic legend.

I don't really want to hear about his old-man social views though.

 

[Cactus]

Anyway, back on topic - after reading Based on a True Story, I'm looking forward to the

podcast. Should be a fun one.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I really need to get around to reading this "memoir".

Should I read the book or listen to his audio?

 

[Tom_Cody]

I can't wait.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Fucking yesssssssssssssssss

The mangrate super cut on YouTube still kills me.
