Norm Macdonald is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor who lives in Los Angeles. He is the proud father of Devery.
"A driving, wild and hilarious ramble of a book, what might have
happened had Hunter S. Thompson embedded himself in a network
studio."--The Washington Post "Dostoyevsky by way of 30 Rockefeller
Center . . . the best new book I've read this year or last."--The
Wall Street Journal "This book is absurd fiction. . . . Scathing
and funny."--The New York Times "Hilarious and filled with turns of
phrase and hidden beauty like only a collection of Norm Macdonald
stories could be."--Esquire "Raucous . . . a hilarious, innovative
work."--A.V. Club
"Part personal history and part meta riff on celebrity memoirs, the
book, it quickly becomes clear, is also just partly true (and all
hilarious)."--Vulture "My three favorite books:
1. The Bible, by Moses and other guys
2. The Art of the Deal, by President of the United States of
America, Donald J. Trump (a.k.a. President Trumpy)
3. Based on a True Story, by Norm Macdonald I have not read the
first two. I have read Based on a True Story, and I believe it to
be largely bullshit, but it is very, very, very funny! Thanks,
Norm, for letting me be part of this Booker
Prize-for-literature-quality effort."--David Letterman "Norm is
brilliant and thoughtful and there is sensitivity and creative
insight in his observations and stories. A lot of comics over the
years have been compared to Mark Twain, but I think Norm is the
only one who actually matches the guy in terms of his voice and
ability. I seriously f**king love Norm Macdonald. Please buy his
book. He probably needs the cash. He's really bad with
money."--Louis C.K., from the foreword "Norm is one of my all-time
favorites, and this book was such a great read I forgot how lonely
I was for a while."--Amy Schumer "I always thought Normie's
stand-up was the funniest thing there was. But this book gives it a
run for its money."--Adam Sandler "Norm is one of the greatest
stand-up comics who's ever worked--a totally original voice. His
sense of the ridiculous and his use of juxtaposition in his writing
make him a comic's comic. We all love Norm."--Roseanne Barr "Norm
Macdonald makes me laugh my ass off. Who is funnier than Norm
Macdonald? Nobody."--Judd Apatow "Norm Macdonald is more than a
triple threat--he's a septuple threat. He is smart, funny, wry,
rakish, polite, rakish . . . no, wait. He is polite, insightful,
and . . . aaaaah . . . warm. No. He's exciting. Yeah. Exciting! You
never know what he'll do. Okay, then make that unpredictable. Add
that up. He's amazing."--Alec Baldwin "Norm only has to grunt to
make me laugh. And this book is three hundred pages? Sign me
up."--Sophia Amoruso, author of #GIRLBOSS "Norm is a double threat.
His material and timing are both top-notch, which is unheard of. He
is one of my favorites, both on- and off-stage."--Dave Attell
"David Letterman said it best: There is no one funnier than Norm
Macdonald."--Rob Schneider
