I used to call into this show a lot. Genuine and fake calls. Felt like yesterday but this was years ago - I don't even remember which year. I was graced with the opportunity to talk to Norm in one of his myriad appearances on TGL for maybe 5 seconds, tops. But the more I reflect on this show it was probably the very best venue for Norm. Low-key, intimate, and entertaining only a few. There was the constant feeling of an amateurish, falling apart show that thrived on chaos and It was the perfect "dicking around" vehicle for him to float jokes and hone his craft; maybe even better than the Netflix show. You could see the skeleton of jokes that transpired years later. RIP Norm.

New York 516 he is not drunk in this? This is classic norm. You clearly haven’t listened to that many norm interviews/radio podcasts. He is extremely funny in this. A thing he likes to do is to make other people look foolish. And he does that perfectly in this. Trust me. Norm is the smartest guy ever.

@@LunaTheKitty0 yeah, but he does drink. It's a thing with him where he says he doesn't drink. He always said it. Back then and now. It's almost a joke, but not, and pathological at the same time. But he does drink and I've heard other Norm stories where the celebrities are saying he was drinking. Even on other Tom Green ones at home on here he will be drinkng at the pre show party and they are standing around drinking and he doesnt know the camera is on. And when Tom tells him the camera has been on the whole time he hides his drink and switches to Coke when the show begins. But he has had Yeager shots with Tom on some of the shows as well. And was drinking Bud Lights on another but had his can of Coke in front of them even though we knew he was drinking them. He's weird when it comes to admitting he drinks. I even heard him tell someone more recently that he has never touched liquor to his lips even once in his life. And he's not doing his deadpan bit. Don't believe him. Go look at the footage I've mentioned. He's drinking in them. Here is another party one where he admits to being buzzed and blames it on Tom for getting him drunk at 14.45 and by 57.47 starting the argument with Sam Simon and by 59.21 is slurring and mixing everythin up. Tom is embarrased. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNeBmZtnks_GhY0.html
