I enjoyed the Jim Carrey episode. I thought he was weird and entertaining and Norm found a good balance of reigning him in a bit when he needed to. I mean the episode was worth it for "I cannot sanction your buffoonery" alone.

That TLJ story was good and I liked Adam's new stupid question

Gonna go see Norm in November and stay after to see if I can get some words in. Last time I saw him, he told me I reminded him of Edward Norton and I congratulated him on starting up the podcast again. Unfortunately, this was just after the first 2 episodes of this season, so the words probably rang empty due to the massive hiatus that hit afterward.

What should I ask him this time? What it's like to do coke with Tim Allen or what it's like to do coke with Jim Carrey?

norm should get fat again because obviously he was more mentally agile back when he was the fat disgusting pig we all grew to love

or he should review his medication or something

He has tremendous anxiety and takes benzodiazepines, most notably xanax, to counter-act it. He doesn't drink or "take drugs" but if you've ever had a benzo, you'd see how they zonk you out. I think that in the interviews where his diction seems slurry or labored, he's likely had too many pills.

Bit of a necro-post but I finally went to see Norm last night and figured I'd trip report for the other Norm fans on this board.

I'm deeply saddened to report that Norm's condition has only worsened since he made the latest season of Live. It was a bad sign when they booked an extra comedian for the show, shortening the length of Norm's act from the usual hour to 45 minutes. It was a worse sign when the host for the evening (typically a local comedian) had to do another 5 minutes of joke buffering before Norm came out. But once on stage with a Red Bull and his trusty "list of possible jokes I'll tell tonight" (now on 1 big sheet of paper as opposed to his usual sticky-note size [Did I mention I see Norm every year? I see him every year. I know his act]) it became apparent I wasn't going to be in for the usual night of Norm Macdonald.

I'd say about 30-40% of what Norm said came out more as a mumble than an enunciated sentence. Most of the jokes missed but the crowd, being die hard fans, laughed anyway. One person in particular would do the thing where he said the 1 or 2 words of a punchline real loud as he laughed. There was a joke about a psychotic break but at no point was there an understandable punchline to it. The deeply closest jokes came out and were better than usual but even his "I'll leave you with one more joke" bit at the end was a flop. His new material included jokes about how ghosts aren't scary but vampires are a scourge, which were good, but I can't think of any more material he did that wasn't him transitioning between 1 sentence of being present and elucidated followed by 4 sentences of flat out mumbling. Eventually, him drinking his Red Bull was a part of the act (half of Norm's charm is his delivery after all) but after a while you could tell that the Red Bull wasn't helping and he ran out a while ago. If something is wrong with Norm, it's hard to tell what it is. According to some stuff he was saying, it sounded like he's just getting old, but if you're not one to believe his insistence that he doesn't drink (which was a part of the act this night) he basically sounded like he was drunk off his rear end. Either that or high as a kite. What drugs give you mush mouth again?

As I walked out, not intent on sticking around to talk to the dead-ish grandpa who I doubted would be out for a chat anyway, staff at the club said "You lucked out. This show was his better than his previous ones" referring to the 5 other shows he had done this weekend. Ouch. I can only wonder where this is all headed. Twitter's got nothing. Google's got nothing. This is like knowing your favorite comedian is dying but everyone refuses to talk about it because it's too sad to think about. I don't know what's wrong with Norm and I don't know if we'll ever get classic Norm back without a visit to the Candy Man. I just wish I knew what to expect so I could know if going to see him live would ever be worth it again.

Edit: I just discovered he has a Reddit and there are other posts concerned like me. The typical "he's just having an off night" and "it's a running gag but he is always drunk" posts. Ah well.

Well after 3 Reddit topics were made just to talk about this weekend's lovely performance, it sounds like this is just a bad week for Norm and Xanax. Although others have seen him do the same thing at previous shows, he's apparently not permanently like this.

thanks for the effort post. I'm sad to see Norm not feeling well. He's been very weird on twitter over the past few weeks and it's really unfortunate. I don't see that man going in good places currently.

Has anyone mentioned if he's definitely stopped working on his book? I know he just stopped working on his new one after what he wrote on twitter a few months back but with him it's always really hard to know if he's loving around or serious.
