Crickets chirp…
Any good?
I am a long time fan of Norm’s but not a big podcast guy so I need to look this up. His Netflix special, “Hitler’s dog, gossip and trickery” and was pretty funny.
Mainly a misfire for me. I’ve been a fan of Norm’s since a few years before he was on SNL. Loved his stand-up comedy back then. I liked his audio CD he released a few years ago(it was not stand up), but I found this special to only be a little funny.
I have to agree, mostly. A few good laughs, and all round entertaining, but not really totally funny.
He’s an odd and funny guy and really is capable of better.
I think of Norm every time someone “loses their battle with cancer.”
Norm: “If the person dies, doesn’t the cancer die? That’s obviously a draw, not a loss.”
I’m really liking him in Mike Tyson Mysteries though.
Yeah his cancer bit was great. I think of it myself often, even when my dad was dying of cancer I appreciated the sentiment.
Maybe the special wasn’t roaring laughter and not quite his best but I enjoyed it.
The podcast is IMHO very good. He has some of the great comedic minds on and Larry King? it’s just a walk in the park, sharing stories and having a very real time.
It’s not meant to be a laugh-fest. Sometimes its very serious but the bottom line is humor.
It gets deep and funny.
