Jim Norton

UPDATE: Jim Norton's book is now available.

Jim Norton, host of the popular "Norton & Friends" show on XM Satellite Radio's The Virus (ch 202) and occasional stand-up comedian, has inked a book deal with Simon and Schuster, according to the New York Post's Page Six.

The book is described as a 'tell-all' by a Simon and Schuster rep, who is quoted in the Post as saying it covers "everything from Norton’s affinity for hookers, stalking Black Sabbath and Alan Alda, and always getting stuck with the hot girl’s fat friend."

Norton says of the as-yet-untitled tome, set for a July release, "It's ironic that many of the stories revolve around prostitution, because that's where all proceeds from this book will be going. Actually, that's probably more disgusting and creepy than ironic."

Sources familiar with the deal tell Orbitcast that an audiobook is expected to accompany the release of the print version, allegedly voiced - in perfect diction - by the executive producer of Norton's show. More details to follow.

UPDATE: Jim Norton's book - Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch - is now available from Amazon.

who?

Someone who will sell more books than tickets to see Beer League.

Stern zombie NYCriminal? Brainless faggots.

He should call it "A Million Little Nieces."

O/A's dozens of fans should vault this into at least the top 10,000 bestseller list on Amazon!!

That'll show 'em!

Not to sh!t all over it, but what new information are the fans going to get out of this?

Jimmy's pretty forthcoming on the show - I can't imagine there's too much we haven't heard yet. What could be more revealing than 'Monster Rain'?

Lil' Jimmy Norton's gonna be in my home town..... Lancaster PA this Fridee Saturdee and Sundee at the Italian Villa on Rt 30.

He should call it "While I was Sleeping...."

Furrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllunkis!!!!

He should call it:

"I didnt see the adams apple at Bananas in POU-GHP-KEP-SIE New York March 2 and 3rd.

Who?

Sorry had to do it :)

Wow have fun listening to the Westminster Dog Show PNessless Douche.

Jim Norton rules~~~!!!

Oh great, another comedian writing a book. Who does this guy think he is...Paul Reiser or something?

I've got a good mind to go to the Villa East Comedy Club in Lancaster, PA this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to give that creep a harshly worded talking to.

I not going to visit http://www.eatabullet.com either.

Wow, a book! That's way better than a FOX sitcom deal. Ha ha ha. You're a dolt theicepik.

I invented books, hoo hoo. I had a best seller 14 years ago.

" i invented books, hoo hoo. I had a best seller 14 years ago."

Hey doucebag you forget about posting "proof" on your statements in the last thread you posted in, we are still waiting....oh thats right you are a zombie that just spouts off crap....just as bad as the stern zombies.

And BTW get a new joke its almost as old as stern...no one even thought it was funny the first 1 million times you zombies used it. Can you name one real thing O&A did "first", of course not, but based on your track record i am sure you will make something up. Seem to forget that a O&A were big stern fans before they even had their own show, so he sure invented their act...


"Wow have fun listening to the Westminster Dog Show PNessless Douche."

Thanks coward, you nothing. go away now kid and leave the fun to other people. Don't even get me started on the usless XM shows out there, they both have stupid shows that no one listens too. ITS CALLED PUBLICITY, but someone who has not even reached puberty would not know much about business huh?

Geeze some people can't take a joke, AHAHAHAHAHAHAA wana put some money on this book vs stern's since stern sucks so bad even as a side kick he should be able to hit #1 right?

Good luck, bro.

Wow PNess, you really are a tough guy. Very dismissive. You want proof that Stern's book came out years ago? Are you really disputing that now? And please don't defend the dog show on the radio. Just admit that it is a complete joke. You are so blindly loyal you can't even see facts such as the one where you are a cunt.

Hey George, yeah Artie has a development deal. You know how many sitcoms are developed and NEVER make it to pilot stage, let alone on the air? More than you know. And knowing his stand-up routine and the fact that Beer League was his Opus, you pretty much know what kind of sitcoms he'll come up with and if the past is any indication of future success, eeeeesh.

If anything, he'll maybe get cast as the "drunk loser slob" in someone else's sitcom that doesn't get picked up either.

Both comedians are getting more exposure now than ever before, but just because you've got a development deal for a sitcom doesn't mean it will be a success. And Norton's book may flop, but compared to Beer League, the chance for having a successful book that is available nationwide is by far easier and more likely than a movie under that was only in 3 states.

I'd prefer the audio book to be voiced by Uncle Paul.

no really...who is Jim Norton? outside of o&a hes a nobody. he calls everyone a "cunt," tells people to "go fuck their mother", and tells people to "go die."

real hilarious! thats 3rd grade knee slapping material.

he's a short fat ugly kid that pretends to be angry at everything, he's no comedian.

touche theicepik.

I'll definitely be buying the audio book. Sure it might not hit number one on the NY best seller's list. Sure it might not be critically eclamed and sure it might not be recognized very much outside of the O&A show fan base, but later this year, the BBBoys will have their own book and audiobook to look forward to, so the fans will buy them, and if they do that's what counts. Nobody is holding guns to Stern Zombie's heads and making them buy the damn book. so if they don't, Lil Jimmy won't lose sleep.

Artie Lange's Beer League is #93 in the top selling comedy DVD's on amazaon.com. Best Buy and Circuit City cant keep the movie in stock.

oh yeah, real big failure here :rolls eyes:

its called a...
CULT CLASSIC.


jims book will suffer from worse ratings than the o&a show.

the show he's on is a failure and the pathetic sales of his book will prove he's a failure at life and no one cares about him.

And Artie isn't a fucking one trick pony? Oh wow, I'm a drunk! HOO HOO I LIKE BEER! Wow, do you? SO fucking exciting. I hope he dies in a gutter. I bet Howie wouldn't even make it to his funeral either.

"Both comedians are getting more exposure now than ever before, but just because you've got a development deal for a sitcom doesn't mean it will be a success.

First, the movie stunk. But you can not say it is A flop any longer. Artie said that they are now into profit as of A couple weeks back.

"Wow PNess, you really are a tough guy. Very dismissive. You want proof that Stern's book came out years ago? Are you really disputing that now?"

He was referring to your statement that Howard on Demand was the lowest rated on demand show "EVER", was just asking for proof to such bold posting. We both asked you this in the last Howard thread but did not get any response.

thank you

Norton = the only listenable member of the horrible Opie & Andy show.

Wow, a "nobody" sure is getting a lot of attention on a messageboard about satellite radio.

Seems to me that more people know who he is and care what he does than you would think.


hahaha opie and andy. you replaced one name with another. brilliant. Its that kind of humor that puts the howard k. stern show above others.

i don't find jim norton funny at all. some people do, some don't; enough with the little piss ant fights. norton's not worth fighting over.

"Oh great, another comedian writing a book. Who does this guy think he is...Paul Reiser or something?"

No, Pat Paulsen.

Jim Norton is a fanny and a fuddy-duddy!

Frrrrrunkus!

WOW nice to be able to understand retard. Go back to the last stupid thing you said in the last post about how bad on demand was and how it was the lowest ever, WITH ZERO PROOF...but hey you just say what the boys say huh?

PFreak you are worse then any sternzombie can ever be, keep it up you even make me look smart.

As for the dog show, notice i said worthless?
"both have stupid shows that no one listens too"

maybe its time you take a little break, you are really starting to get a little angry huh?

good thing you did not see the ratings in NY,Chicago and Boston, it would really set you off....

>> First, the movie stunk. But you can not say it is A flop any longer. Artie said that they are now into profit as of A couple weeks back. >>

Why, did someone pay him to burn all the DVDs?

@MarkS

"hahaha opie and andy. you replaced one name with another. brilliant. Its that kind of humor that puts the howard k. stern show above others."

You got me there, because we all know that "frrrrunkus" is just the ~pinnacle~ of great comedy. *rolleyes*

Sorry PNess, I don't give a fuck about posting links from random blogs that mean absolutely nothing. I get my infgo from paid subscription sites I am a member of through work. You can't read any links I post without being a paying subscriber. Not that you'd believe anything posted anyway - which is another reason not to waste my time. And you said both company's have questionable content, you did not say the dog show was a waste of time & money. And I have seen the ratings. As I always say, they will do well in some markets, poorly in others and completely fail in other, just like your hero did. What the fuck do I care?

HA, HAHA, HAHAHAHAHAH, Freking HAHAH...sure ya do. Give me the links i will pay for the access.

"Not that you'd believe anything posted anyway "

give me a source and i will belive it. nuff said


"And I have seen the ratings. As I always say, they will do well in some markets, poorly in others and completely fail in others, just like your hero did"

SHOW ME WHERE THEY ARE #1 OR EVEN #2 IN A MARKET...PLEASE I WILL EVEN PAY FOR THE ACCESS IF I HAVE TOO.

never said stern did not fail in some markets, in some he could not even beat mancow and lost to bubba in florida....i realize he was not welcome everywhere. hell he even got driven out of canada.

but you see that is the difference between me and you i can face facts about stern while still liking O&A...but having tons of fun picking on the zombie hypocrits in the O&A army. Other big difference is i don't POST CRAP statements without backing them up. Never said he had the #1 PPV show/shows but you did say "it was the lowest ever". SO BACK UP YOUR FACTS, or as you say stop posting on this "random blog" that you dont give a shit about....

LOL Pness 3 PFreak 0


BTW learn to post once please. i would expect more from a long time doucebag

Your whole post sums it up. You are the zombie you claim not to be. I don't see any links to any "facts" on your postings. You want to pay for them? Sign up for adweek.com, mediaweek.com, aaaa.com, brandweek.com, forbes.com and businessweek.com. That's where I get my facts.You say Stern couldn't beat Mancow but that's the same Chicago market you keep repeating over and over to support your O&A are failing argument. Fact is O&A are the biggest show of their kind currently on the air. Whether you like them or not, they are it right now. You may think you're a clever boy "picking on" people but believe me I could care less if you get hit by a truck tonight and die tonight. So sign up for any of those pay sites and get youself educated.

And for the record I didn't post twice, sometimes there are issues posting here, you should know that. And anyone that uses block caps is a complete shithead. Anyone that actually types out laughter or LOL is an even bigger shithead.

"I don't see any links to any "facts" on your postings."

and what "facts" am i posting? would you like the O&A ratings links, they have only been posted here 100 times, but we have NEVER seen links on how howards VOD is the lowest viewed EVER....right? I am guessing you will dance around this one for a long long time before you admit you lied and it was just your opinion.


GIVE ME A DIRECT LINK.

Here is chicago
http://chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/news.pl?id=23444&rel=1
Here is NY, third one down, go and purchase to see the 1.4 ratings.

"Fact is O&A are the biggest show of their kind currently on the air."

"Of their kind" and that helps you say that they are what? not even the top 10 talk shows on the radio right now? would you like the link of how IMUS has more listeners then them nationwide, and they are note even in the ballpark of rush, laura, savage, ect? oh but i guess they are not "of their kind" huh?

"And anyone that uses block caps is a complete shithead"

Oh noes CAPS, he must be yelling at me, well that is what they say on AOL at least so it must be true...


LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

"And anyone that uses block caps is a complete shithead"

lol. He is a "pest", after all...

Wow, PFreak has to be the most idiotic posters in orbitcast. Your lies are transparent and your blind loyalty to O&A makes you a pathetic zombie. Time and time again you have been getting mouth fucked and beat down by Pness to death. When I make statements, I back them up with facts. When you make statements, you back them up with nothing. Where is the specific link that says Howard TV On Demand is the lowest rated show? Where is it? You're looking very stupid. It's embarrassing to regular O&A fans. I feel sorry for them that you're representing O&A. Damn, what a waste of human life.

Pness: 4
PFreak: 0

As I said. Links are bullshit. Anyone can find a link that supports their argument no matter what. I could post a link right now that would say the holocaust never happened. Would that make it a "fact" to you? And again, I never disputed their ratings. I do notice you don't bother to post ratings from markets where they do well. You're someone who likes to tell half the truth.

Sorry I don't troll message boards all day. I have a job. Sometimes I don't get on-line for up to a week other than work so when a topic drops I don't have time to keep up, but any of the pay sites I gave you that you claimed you would join would give you industry numbers that support my "fact" about Howard's VOD's performance.

And again, in their demo as an entertainment "shock jock" type radio show, of which there are hundreds, they are the biggest in the country. That's a fact. Whether they fail in the future or not remains to be seen. David Lee Roth was in fact the biggest show in the catagory when he started too. DLR failed. Many people said O&A wouldn't last a month and it's been almost a year.

And I hope you realize that everyone you send emails to, including friends and family, see your block caps and think, "what a shithead".

"Damn, what a waste of human life"

Funny Jorge, that's the first thing your mother said when she saw you.

Yeah, the "facts" really fly out of you. Don't you know I enjoy reading your posts because you're so fucking stupid you make me feel better about myself?

"As I said. Links are bullshit. Anyone can find a link that supports their argument no matter what"

So if links are bullshit then why do you even state fact from sources since they are bullshit? so are you now admiting that no matter where you found this VOD information its "bullshit"?


would you like to double check the rating with arbitron?

http://www.arbitron.com/radio_stations/home.htm

Of course you are going to have to pay for the actual morning ratings they only give whole station ratings for free.

Still waiting for that Direct link to VOD story, checked everywhere and NADA.

its hard to imagine that king of all retards mr pfreak doesn't get the fact that you need to back up your fucking words. stop responding the same garbage over and over. your not fooling anyone. your obsessed with this arguement. is your dad a shitty lawyer or something? i guess spewing shit runs in the family.

LOL

PFreak = PWned

Artie Lange's Beer League is #93 in the top selling comedy DVD's on amazaon.com. Best Buy and Circuit City cant keep the movie in stock.

=============

And just 2 days later it's #213 on Amazon. Must be a small cult.
