ISBN:  9781443414296 (hc.) Alternate title:  Norm MacDonald : based on a true story : a memoir Edition:  First Canadian edition. Description:  xiv, 240 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 25 cm. Summary:  Wild, dangerous, and flat-out unbelievable, here is the incredible memoir of the Canadian actor, gambler, and raconteur, and one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time. Norm Macdonald tells the story of his life - more or less - from his rural origins on a farm in the backwoods of Ontario to a disastrous appearance on Star Search. But this is much more than just a memoir - it's the inspired epic of Norm's life. Told as dispatches from a road trip to Las Vegas with his sidekick and enabler, Adam Eget - a plan hatched to regain the fortune he'd lost to sports betting and other vices - Norm recounts the milestone moments of his life: the regrets, the love affairs, the times that Fortune smiled on him, and the times it did not. As a comedy legend should, Norm peppers these pages with jokes and long-mythologized Hollywood stories. This tense, wildly adventurous and totally original memoir gives the reader a glimpse inside the mad, glorious mind of Norm Macdonald, a Canadian stand-up comedian, comedy writer and actor living in Los Angeles. He is best known for his five seasons as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, which included anchoring "Weekend Update" for three years. Early in his career, he wrote for the sitcom Roseanne and made appearances on shows including The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio. Genre:  Memoirs.
