You must be a new fan of Norm Macdonald.

I blame Norm MACdonald.
The Norm subreddit has been melting down for the last few weeks.2 weeks no new episodes. What's going on?
oh damn thanks for this
This is seriously Norm's greatest hits, the book. I 100% recommend getting the audiobook, it is damn near perfect. Norm's tale about Dave Attell ane Sarah Silverman, and all the stuff afterward had me absolutely dying.
Norm on Larry King's web show

Super exciting!
He also recorded an episode with Mike Tyson! I guess they hit it off working on Mike's cartoon together.
Theres a picture of him recording with Seinfeld too somewhere, the podcasts sub reddit is honestly much more active than this thread.
EDIT: Picture wouldn't post, heres a link to the reddit page i got it from.

Have no idea if Norm was joking about Robert Blake cancelling but I wonder if Norm would be still chasing him up. I feel like that was one of those jokes I never understood whether it was circumstantial or Norm made it up completely.
I was at a party at Sarah Silverman's a few years back. I was doing a show on Comedy Central at the time.
I was asked by a man to do a podcast and I agreed to do it.
Some time later I did the man's podcast and had a good time. He has asked me to do his podcast since, and other things, and I have.
Yesterday, a man played a tape of the man speaking about me on his podcast.
The man said the day after I had made my promise to him at Sarah's podcast, he had a famous man cancel and needed me that night.
He tried to get me but he couldn't. I wasn't available.Available the day after i had promised to one day be on his podcast. A promise I kept
When I spoke to him at Sarah's party I had my usual odd and incoherent voice and delivery.
The man said his wife had worked at a shelter for people who were mentally disturbed and the man said his wife had warned him.
The man said his wife had warned him that I was to be avoided at all costs but the man was too trusting and that was the story of his life.
So the next day, when the famous man had canceled on him on the very same day but in the sweetest of ways he decided to ask me.
But, no. I did not even return his call. He should have known, of course. From my disjointed affect at the party the night before.
After all, his wife had worked with the insane for some time in a shelter and should be able to spot a crazy person.
But the man was too trusting.
And the man's trusting nature was what allowed me to hurt him so grievously.
It was types like this man that types like me looked for. His wife had told him as much. But the man was too trusting. So he got hurt.
Good night.
I'm sort of conflicted about this.Saw this from the subreddit...
...Pretty good burn by Norm though.
Eh, I think he was just frustrated with the situation and was letting off some steam. But yeah, he said it, so he needs to deal with the consequences. Again, this was 7 years ago. It's kind of bizarre that such a relatively minor incident has been resurrected for discussion.Wow Fitzsimmons sounds pretty silly in that clip. How self centered do you have to be to expect someone to immediately acquiesce to your request one day after seeing them and them saying that they'll go on your show some time, all because your real guest cancelled last minute? I mean even someone not getting back to you that same day is not only not some terrible slight, it shouldn't even register as unacceptable.
I think it's simply of consequence of doing a few hours of radio/podcast per week. You fill time with whatever is on your mind, and this can lead to over-sharing and venting as in this instance.As a non-regular yet longtime listener of Greg's podcast... I think for better or worse the dude forgets he's doing a show at times. He is ridiculously open about his personal life and doesn't always seem to realize that everything he says is out there forever.
I'm excited to see what comes out of this.Podcast related? Maybe explains the wait between episodes...optioning and shopping around perhaps.

are one of the guests david letterman? I could see someone trying to snatch up that interview. Would be his first major one since leaving no?Podcast related? Maybe explains the wait between episodes...optioning and shopping around perhaps.

Anyway I just want more Norm.
Lots of episode are in the can, but there's been radio silence regarding the return date. The rumor is that it's been picked up by a streaming service.So is this show dead (again)?
