Opie wasn't the talent. He was a good straight man that set up Ant to knock it outta the park. Ant was the talent hands down. Opie was the business guy with radio experience, that's it. Anthony always stole the show just being himself, Opie was better off letting the talent shine.
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 That's not true back in the WNEW days, maybe you were a satellite listener, as per your 'everybody' designation. He was worse on satellite, but the earlier days he was always setting up Anthony, and Norton wasn't there in the way of anything. And Norton was in the way, but he got a lot better as Opie became less interested and more bitter. The WNEW days were where the gold was, they were on fire and stomping Stern into the mud, without even trying, just being themselves. The Opie hate was non-existent back then, they were well oiled machine and kicking much ass. It wasn't the Anthony show.
@@RmnGnzlz Which is disgusting especially from Jimmy who's a fellow comic (albeit many tiers below Norm) when Norm always gives the absolute funniest interviews and best radio/podcasts.
At 23:38, it's a hilarious story, but it also suggests Norm knew about his cancer as early as humanly possible and we got to have him a lot longer than we would have otherwise. RIP Norm. You were an enormous gift!
What’s crazy is that, at least according to what’s been put out, that this was one year before he was diagnosed with the cancer that killed him. I believe he had health issues his entire life though
Kevin Carbone You can’t make a statement about some episode being the best ever after only hearing two episodes. Patrice was amazing on O&A, which is why he was featured in sooooo many episodes. I’d love to hear Patrice & Norm shoot the shit together with only an occasional throw in from the other guests haha
Jimmy was only ever good for the occasional snappy one liner. Since he had his own show he does the same shit bit without the panic since it’s his show. Porn stars and UFC fighters for days.
Jim Norton being (existing) is ironic. Almost as if God has a cruel sense of humor, not because Jim looks like a shell less Turtle mind you, but because the rest of us have to listen to his unfunny jokes
Lil Jimmy doing his best Chris Kattan, frothing at the mouth to blow Brock Lesnar; "Norm get out of here! Gosh you're gonna ruin everything, oh Brock put it in my mouth you're so hot!"
she's not funny. where is she now? where is the other not funny , midling hot jewish chick, amy shumer? you rarely see the funny women comics. instead, we get whitney cummings, blonde hair big boobs, and tig notara.
Google User Well, Ant wants you to believe that back then he was super excited to have the gig but I would also attribute that behavior to coke. Not that it’s a bad thing. Humans need their coke phase and Ant’s was back then. And god bless him for it :)
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags Who said need? I like how Swype lets me quickly get my point across with one thumb. If I offend some loser nobody along the way oh well.
Too bad he was probably the Worm who bumped Norm for Brock Lesnar. MMA is fun to watch but interviews with them could be replaced with dead air. I really hope his autograph collection melts in a fire.
@@leahcimolrac1477 bless you good sir, even if you're joking and don't dislike Norton (which I really hope isn't the case), it warms my heart just to hear an unkind word about that celebrity ass-sucking, shitty character having, sharkticon face-looking, smug little turd! I don't think I've ever gone from liking to hating anyone, faster than Norton. But after you start peeling the onion, and get past the thin layers of phony anger, and self loathing, you realize it's all a charade.

And NO, it's not funny on the surface, ironically, or if you try to pull some "double ironic/non comedy" bullshit... it's unfunny on every level, in every dimension of the multiverse. And in closing, I could definitely go without hearing that stupid "yuck" sound, or "it stinks" ever again (which you know damn well he ripped off another older, better comedian. It just feels like something from a different generation than his)
@@scottbaylo it's Colin Quinn he ripped off, and I hate his shit head fans who in 2021 say chip shit like it's hilarious. Watch the worm has turned doc on him by porsalin
Cause she’s a fame whore who hides the left side of her face despite not having scarred herself. We get it! Some weirdo slashed you when you were 5 it’s a tragic thing, but you’re gonna give that monster the satisfaction of you NEVER showing the left side of your face for LIFE?!?
Wow I never knew Norm was on O&A! Netflix just released his last special and it was filmed infront of his computer by himself and it was still amazing. Only he could do that. Such a legend and is always missed ❤💔
Thank you for the great clip, it provides my two favourite things: O and A and Norm...It would have been perfect if Bobo had popped in that day, I would love to see how Norm would react to that!..
I love Norm more than any comic ever, and always will, but Norton telling Colin why are you yelling at me, we hate the same people is true genius among the Genius.
The whole time Norm withheld the fact that he had a death sentence. He kept that inside and just laughed at the whole concept of death, dying and disease and made everyone laugh. Norm wasn't just a legendary comedian, he was a legend as a human being. Maybe even a saint, if you believe in that kind of thing. I personally think it's a bunch of horseshit. But he's a good man.
The only time Norm was ever on the show, and it was an unforgettable listen. You can just feel the energy is different from beginning to end, no one else like Norm.
Norm in a way predicted Anthony getting fired and his own death. I’m sure glad Jim Norton kicked him off the air so that he can take pictures with Brock Lesnar.
Wish he went on more! You could tell he sincerely appreciated being in an environment like this, where he was understood and didnt have to battle normies the whole time
"Sarah Silverman! Who's funnier than her??? Except dudes" 😂 always kills

It's a crime Norm wasn't more a regular on O&A, he absolutely murdered without trying.

He said "your only chance is early detection.", so you are probably right
he had cancer at least 3 times, maybe more. the one that got him, i think he got diagnosed with 8 years prior.
20:38 sounds like a hint too - Did Collin know?
@@assburger5472 yeah one was early in his youth
RIP Norm always effortlessly hillarious!
I've never gave a shit about a celebrity passing until Norm. You were too good for this world, sir!
lol you scared me for a second. i almost thought norm was actually dead!
I think the it’s so well crafted that it looks effortless
If Patrice was there this would have been the greatest episode ever made
Man how i would love to hear Norm and Patrice shoot the shit about comedy

When Patrice passed, Norm said on Twitter we lost the funniest person on the planet.
RIP. GOAT of radio comedy
"Hey! Guess what? There's a young girl that's middling attractive that swears a lot, let's get her!"
At first I thought Norm was talking about Lisa Lampanelli, but then I remembered she's neither young nor attractive
Amy Schumer
Whitney Cummings
Nikki Glasier
Rita Rudner, Carol Leifer
I’m listening to this because Norm passed away today. Rip Norm Macdonald, crazy bastard.
Dumb panicky Norton basically kicked norm out to talk to Brock Lesnar of all people. Sometimes I’m happy this whole thing crumbled.
Jimmy was only ever good for the occasional snappy one liner. Since he had his own show he does the same shit bit without the panic since it’s his show. Porn stars and UFC fighters for days.

That Sarah silverman line was absolute class, never knew it was on the O&A show. Glad I found it

Jim at the beginning and end of this clip is just embarrassing. I sense a bit of his resentment towards Norm here
Did his dislike for Norm start at the bob eager roast?
He's so mad that Norm is inherently funny and really brings out jims hackyness.
I believe if I lived 300 years, I still could not be smart enough to understand the depth of Norm's humor. GENIUS!
It may take hundreds of viewing to accomplish it, but I'm willing to try.
At least Opie knew to shut his mouth
Norm bailing on his own story @16:46 is a top 5 O and A moment for me
Yuuuuuuck at how Jimmy was acting at the end.
Him and Norm didn’t like each other
It's also called being professional. They should have done the photos outside.

Agreed....Norm introduced Artie to Howard live on Stern's show back in 98.
Anthony and Norm are great together I love it

15 dollars a man!
@begglesworth21 you told me in confidence?
Good lord the foreshadowing in this segment….
The one guest I could hear Patrice not only respect but go on an awesome riff with lol
Wow this is crazy just hearing about his passing and hearing he had cancer for 9 years. Wow.
Wiping tears. Norm was 1 of a kind.
It’s sad that nobody knew during this interview that he was just diagnosed with cancer. That’s the reason his special was a lot about aging and death.
Nobody but his doctors knew about his diagnosis. How would u know this is when he found out.
REST IN PEACE TO THE GREATEST
Norm and Ant have great chemistry, really wish Norm was more of an O&A guy
