Jim Norton The Musical | Howie Mandel Does Stuff

About this episode

Jim Norton joins Howie Mandel and Jackie for a candid conversation about comedy, relationships, and personal experiences.

Jim Norton joins Howie Mandel and his daughter Jackie for a loose, off-the-rails conversation where they jump between comedy, relationships, and a lot of crude humor. Norton talks about touring with Louis C.K., his marriage to a much younger Norwegian trans woman, and how he’s always been open about his personal life and sexuality, saying it’s easier to joke about it than hide it. The episode drifts through stories about podcast drama, internet backlash, health stuff, and random awkward moments, with Norton also touching on insecurity as a comic and why being honest about embarrassing things can actually work in comedy.
