Well, FWIW, here's something I got from a friend who knows his brother Neil,
a reporter with the CBC, after the last Norm thread:

David, rather relieved that Norm isn't gay anyway, but thinks his fixation on
dogs' asses is a tad bizarre.

You think Norm saw the kids in the crowd and decided that beastiality
was the way to win the crowd over?

Then he called out to the audience of families and yelled "what did
you think I was going to do, tell jokes about my lost luggage".

Couldn't he see out into the crowd and see the freaking families?
Didn't anyone tell him that pig fucking jokes might offend the kiddies
and their parents?

Just another reason to kill SNL.

add to this the asshole performance he gave on Dennis Miller Live (is
he a compulsive homophobe or WHAT?)... how about we give SNL another
chance and put MacDonald in the terminal ward?

Actually, I heard from more than one source that he had
close to 1000 people in a 1300 seat auditorium WALK OUT
on him, and that he then taunted those leaving by asking
what they wanted to hear -- stories about him leaving
his luggage at the airport?

I'm sorry, but if you take children to see Norm in the first place,
you're an idiot. What do you think his act's going to be like? For
God's sake, he casually said "f*ck" on the air a few months ago! Profuse
swearing and offensiveness are McDonald's forte. When I saw him, there
was a large chunk of his act about "anal rape"; the offensiveness is
the point.

Hey, the families in the audience didn't come to see Norm MacDonald,
they came to see a graduation ceremony. You gotta wonder what the
committee who invited Norm to speak at the ceremony were thinking.
Didn't they know anything about what kind of "comic" he was? Of course,
"comic" isn't the right word, Norm has never been funny.
I wouldn't pay 10 cents at a garage sale to hear Norm tell a "joke".

True enough, but this wasn't a typical club date--this was a college
commencement ceremony, at which a wide range of families with members of all
ages would be present to see their loved ones graduating from school. While I
don't know that anyone expected Norm to be a complete saint, at the very
least he should have taken the circumstances and setting of his gig into
account when he wrote his little "speech". The graduates really didn't
deserve to have their graduation ceremony trashed by a foul-mouthed egomaniac,
and if his act was as described, then he deserves any and all censure he gets.

The bottom line here is that Norm MacDonald isn't nearly as funny as
he used to be. In fact he seems like a complete dickhead. I watched
him do the news on SNL tonight and it was such a bomb that even the
studio audience couldn't be persuaded to laugh.

Howard Stern oughta find somebody else more worthy to lick his ass.

Sounds like what I heard. He pretty much does his own thing on SNL and
pretty much breaks after the news and gets dinner. HE has a crew of
writers he works with and that's it. Open contempt for the rest of
cast is probably the reason, although insanity can be also listed as a
reason.


>NEVER shags
>> groupies (or even the multitude of gorgeous babes who flock to him) he is
>> JUST NOT INTERESTED WHATSOEVER! this ana icon chick is FULL of shit.

Never is a strong word. Normally is a much better word. He normally
avoids groupies and models.

>he was indeed shagging elle macpherson for a few months....

I mean she was draped all over him like a cheap suit when she was on
the show. She even went to eat with him afterwards. So never is
obviously the wrong word. But then, who the hell is going to say no to
her?

>>is recently

The word here is mysoginist. He likes sex with women, just not talking
to them.
