      More he knew it was hacky and uncreative to just respond like that. If you actually knew them you would know. One of the few none Hollywood people to sneak through somehow not to mention he threw the contradictions in their faces constantly as you pointed out! Sad they did Anthony like this the producer should have first waited until the guest stopped speaking then just came over the headphones and warned them about some bad news they just received! Also posting this clip before the actual Podcast came out is trashy as well. But when you garner less than 30k in subs you have to do something to move content right?

    • @byHexted
      @byHexted 2 года назад +5

      That’s literally what everyone said, and it’s disrespectful and wrong to pretend he kept his illness quiet because he wanted people to say that joke. That’s just a dumb joke he made because he knew people would say it about him, it doesn’t have anything to do with his actual motives or how he felt. If you actually want that listen to when he was on Chris Hardwicks podcast. They TALK about people who died of illness and kept it secret from everyone, norm literally talks about his hero Richard Farnsworth who did that exact thing and he said how much he admired it and how it was the right thing to do. For fucks sake he even SAYS “I might have some life ending illness right now and you don’t even know” or some shit TO Chris Hardwick and he just laughs it off because of course he didn’t know Norm actually had one at the time. He kept it secret because he didn’t want people to speculate on it, or judge his work BY that. Which is exactly what people like you keep doing you act like he was some genius who kept his cancer secret Bc he was the best comedian ever. He kept it secret because of that idea, he had said how Richard Farnsworth would of one the Oscar if he had said he had cancer or whatever he had but he didn’t. Norm knew people would overate his comedy and big him up for having cancer after his death, and you people think you’re so much better then these comedians who actually did know him and respect him. Trying to shit on them when you’re taking his death and trying to make it this deep comedic statement just so you can feel like norms death somehow was a positive thing

    THE END OF THE COSBY STORY:
    was that Cosby legitimately tried to call Norm’s father personally and eventually realized Norm was giving him the wrong number because he couldn’t admit to his idol Cosby that his father was dad.
    So Cosby finally put it together and sent a enormous room full of flowers to Norm at the next gig he was hosting to Norm’s surprise, and left him a card that said “i’m sorry for your loss.”
