I don't have any ego about it, but I find there's not a great work ethic in show business. A lot of people are in it to make money, and coming from stand-up, you have to work so hard because almost nothing works, and if you lose the audience for three minutes, you're dead.

I didn't really want to inject myself into anything political. A lot of people were asking me at the time about Jay and Conan, and I hate doing anything serious. Norm MacDonald conanhateinject Change image and share on social

You're trying your best to make people laugh; then if you fail, they hate you. But your intent's the same. It's not like you're trying to do evil to them. Norm MacDonald evilfailhate Change image and share on social
Comedy is surprises, so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny. Norm MacDonald comedyfunnyintend Change image and share on social

I'd say Jon Stewart has remained funny the entire time. Jon always makes it funny first. And he's just, he's talking about serious things, but in a funny way. Other comedians will talk about serious things in a serious way, and then you don't know what's going on. Norm MacDonald comedianentirefunny share on social
In theatres, you're kind of disconnected. Also, it's way too big for the likes of me. Unless you're Robin Williams or someone that can fill a stage with movement and energy, it just looks like a small man on a big stage. Norm MacDonald bigdisconnectenergy share on social
All my life's about is cracking up people and them cracking me up and trying not to think about dying. That doesn't cost very much money. Norm MacDonald costcrackdie Change image and share on social
I'm no good at anything but comedy, which I think I'm good at. I'm absolutely no good at networking; I'm terrible at acting; I'm terrible at dealing with executives; I'm terrible at collaborating. And I say whatever I want to say. But I think I'm good enough at comedy that I can survive. And I don't really have an ambition for money. Norm MacDonald absolutelyactambition share on social
