well uh welcome into the studio it's nice to have you here thanks man and uh
just let me go
ahead and get out this stuff out of the way early on you make such eye contact
it's like
disarming yeah i can't i can't i can't look at him when i'm on the radio with
him i always have
to look down you get lost right you like those blue eyes is it disarming or
disturbing
it's unsettling do most radio guys not look people in the eyes when they talk
to them well not that
deep do you want me to tell you the story yeah it's a it's a little long okay
we got all night
no no i'm i work with bill cosby right and he was my hero i was a kid you know
my dad and i was used
to listen to him so i did this i got to open for him at this at this theater
and i was so excited
and everything i met him afterwards and everything and i was all nervous and he
talks
in a weird way he talks like just shorthand like he just doesn't use verbs and
stuff but he goes
so anyways he's like uh so i'm like oh it's such a thrill to meet you and
everything you know and he
i go when i grew up my dad and i listen to your albums all the time you know we
really love you
so he goes he goes where's your dad lives i'm like he lives in ottawa so he's
like so he turns
to his his guy that's with him and he goes morty ottawa aren't we ottawa and so
the guy's like
looking at his thing he's like yeah we're doing ottawa in august he goes get
the man number the phone
number of this man his father will come to the show we will sit this man's
father in the front
afterwards he will come back and talk i'm the man's hero so the man will come
back and he will talk to
his hero so i was like i'll have him i was like oh my god it's great so then
the guy gets a paper and
then bill cosby hands me the paper and he goes uh he goes just write your
father the number the phone
and i will so i write his phone number and as i'm writing it i i realized my
dad died like 10 years
earlier but like i was in such a weird like surreal thing like bill cosby was
being like the sweetest
guy ever i didn't want to at that point disappoint him yeah hey my father's
dead i didn't want to
bring everybody down so so i just wrote down a bunch of numbers you know like i
knew the area code right
and then i just wrote seven other digits so then i forgot all about it and then
and then there's
another thing about how powerful people get your phone number i have no idea
but it was like four
months later or something and i was doing this uh thing on the drew carey show
remember that yeah i was
doing some roll on that little tiny roll and then the girl comes over like the
script girl she goes bill
cosby's on the phone for you it's like oh my gosh so i went over and i go hello
and he's like yes the
number is a man a woman's voice comes on and says that the number is not a
number so i said i said no
i keep lying you know i couldn't at that point go oh yeah i lied to you so i'm
like no that's the
number and he's like i'm phoning the number twice i will phone the third time
but are you sure that's
so i said no that's the number i kept lying and lying and uh so anyways i um i
told a story somewhere
in uh in new york on uh i think on letterman or something like that and uh and
then the next day
when i went to saturday night live there were all these flowers like there was
like about 300 things
of flowers my whole office was filled with flowers and uh and then like two
days later i found this
little tiny card on one of the flowers and it said uh i'm sorry to uh inform
you that your father's
long since dead by all means first of all this is my favorite two second clip
although there's no
bleeping here okay oh good for you oh my god that's hilarious and now sir it
gets it gets even better
kick your i want you off the set you sorry no don't just be sorry think for one
second
what the are you doing are you professional or not yes i am do i walk around
and rip that no shut up
bruce do i want no no don't shut up now are you picturing him in a batman
costume the whole time
doing this in the middle of a scene then why the are you walking right through
i mean it just keeps
going and going and going um this this is almost a four minute tirade what
happened is his director
of photography walked into a scene i guess in the back of uh another actor oh
yeah instead of terminator
and and he just absolutely lost it yeah so let's start right there well that's
probably it that is
that does sound like a mistake norm have you ever lost like a bad mistake have
you ever lost it like
this on the set no and plus if i was rich i would just be happy no matter what
yeah if i had money
like christian bale has money i would just be happy i would never be unhappy
yeah but if you had that
kind of money you wouldn't be out doing uh comedy tours like this and having me
stare deep into your
eyes i wouldn't even be doing that movie
norm mcdonald is a pleasure you'll be as fun you'll be at side splitters all
weekend long that
part where you fell in love with me
you
