Mohr Stories 550: Jim Norton

This week, Jay is joined by his old friend and one of the great comics of all time: Jim Norton. The two dig into Jim’s marriage, sobriety, sexuality, and the constant social-media backlash that comes with being unapologetically himself. They trade stories about message-board rage, arguing with strangers online, and comic legends like Colin Quinn, Rich Vos, and Keith Robinson. Along the way, they riff on conspiracy culture, aging, ghosts and UFOs, COVID fallout, and why comedians are uniquely wired to push boundaries and provoke outrage. Plus: marriage as a social construct, panic attacks, and much more.
