Crazy, dangerous, and flat-out unbelievable, here is the amazing memoir of the acting professional, gambler, raconteur, and SNL veteran and one of the better stand-up comedians ever. As this book's title implies, Norm Macdonald explains to the story of his life - pretty much - from his origins on a plantation in the-back-of-beyond Canada and an epically disastrous appearance on Superstar Search to his accounts of auditioning for Lorne Michaels and his memorable run as the anchor of Weekend Upgrade on Saturday Night Live - until he was terminated because a corporate and business executive didn't think he was funny. But Founded on a genuine Story is much greater than a memoir; it is the hilarious, encouraged epic of Norm's life. In dispatches from a road trip to Las Vegas (part of an idea hatched to restore the lot of money he'd lost to sports wagering and other vices) along with his sidekick and enabler, Adam Eget, Norm recounts the milestone occasions, the regrets, the love affairs, the changing times lot of money smiled on his life, and the changing times it refused to laugh. As the clock ticks down, Norm's debt reaches record heights, and he must discover a way to evade the significant price which has been placed on his brain by one of the most dangerous loan sharks in the united states. As a humor story should, Norm peppers these minutes with classic jokes and fondly mythologized Hollywood reviews. This wildly ambitious, totally original, and absurdly funny saga transforms the traditional comic's memoir on its brain and provides the listener a special pass in to the mad, glorious brain of Norm Macdonald.
