I think you have to have something...I will always do that. That personality flaw, that fucking
emotional vacuum will always be there. I try to fill it with healthier stuff...
Do you think you’re searching for something that you’re missing?
Probably.
What is that?
Self-love and self-worth.
Are you happy?
Not really. I mean sometimes.
Okay, what makes you happy?
Puppies. No. I don’t know. The success of my career -- the temporary happiness, I don’t really know.
I mean I get these high and lows, but true happiness I don’t know. I love being with my friends
though, sitting with those fucking dumb comedians. They’re the only guys on the planet who make
me laugh -- really laugh. I get a lot of happiness from those guys...my friends and performing.

Your Feedback:
The Norton interview is fantastic, excellent read.
-Patrick, CringeHumor.net
Checked out the Norton interview. It's great. Lotsa stuff that's nut-&-bolts stuff for comics, lotsa
peeks inside for the outsiders. Solid.
-Eric
Lil Jimmy says and does things us "normal" people would like to say and do but society prohibits us!
-Mark
Awesome interview. This is what interviews are *supposed* to be like. An interviewer asking
interesting questions of an extremely funny and interesting comic whoremonger. Kudos to Tasha
and a big thank you to Lil' Jimmy!
-Alex
Man, Jim is so funny. I was laughing so hard I threw up all over my keyboard. The funniest thing is,
that was yesterday.
-Jay Jay, Philadelphia, PA
Your online magazine looks fabulous...I especially enjoyed reading the Jim Norton interview.
-Darlene, NYC
Thanks for pushing the writing aspect of comedy Jim. You're right, if you never bomb, it's because
you're comfortable and safe, and not growing and exploring.
-Sal Rodriquez, NoHo Arts District, CA
He stinks and I don’t like’em! Just kidding. Jimmy rocks. The interview was slightly hard to follow, but
I managed.
-Chris Scamuffa
Great interview with Lil' Jimmy Norton. I've been a fan since 2000 and have seen him perform many
times. I saw him open for Dice at MSG and he was funnier than Dice. He takes Opie and Anthony to the
next level of funny. Quite frankly, Opie and Anthony should be applauded for not being egomaniacs
and allowing Norton (and other comedians) to have such a high profile role with their show. It's always
great to hear Norton sound off on things that make him angry. Again great job!
-Matt
I have been a Jim Norton fan since his days on WNEW 102.7 with Opie and Anthony. His comedy is
cutting edge and his concern for his fans makes him a rare breed. I believe Norton is becoming one
of the elite comedians in the business today and he will standout for years to come. Bravo for
interviewing a real comic genius.
