OMG - How fucking brilliant does THIS sound?! LOL From videogum.com:
Express Milwaukee: What else do you have in the pipeline?
Norm Macdonald: Oh yeah, speaking of things that I'm not actually good at, I'm doing a television show on the channel FX, which will actually be funny, or it might be. I wrote it. Have you ever seen "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?" I like that show, and I think that's FX's only comedy, so they wanted a companion. I really like FX a lot; they don't give you very many notes or anything. So they're finally going to let me do something I want to do. It's called "The Norm MacDonald Reality Show." The premise is my career has fizzled into oblivion, so they give me a reality show, which I reluctantly take. So I have to date the Barbie twins and do all this weird, retarded stuff. Now I don't know how to drive in real life - my actual life - so in the show they teach me to get a license, but maybe they get Lee Ermey to teach me; you know, some twist. Anyway, so during the driving lesson, I accidentally kill the teacher. And then all hell breaks lose. I start to become famous again, and the show becomes a hit, and the trial starts. I get my fame that I didn't want in the first place. But there's a lot of funny stuff in it. I guess I'm telling it like it's not funny. Nice. Norm MacDonald is like the George Plimpton of stand-up comedians doing late-career high-concept basic cable TV shows. Let's watch this show, you guys. The Videogum DVR Club seal of approval. God, I love Norm.  | |

I knew months ago that he was gonna be on and the news didn't surprise me (after all, he did do Celeb Millionaire once). Did you know that he won $500,000 for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang and woulda won the mill if Regis didn't scare him off risking it? | |

At least some of his Millionaire appearance is on his MySpace (below). If all the parts aren't there, they should still be on YouTube. http://myspace.com/normmacdonald | |
