Garry McDonald (Norman) is one of Australia's finest talents....If you watch Garry in other TV shows he was in, you can see just how versatle he really is....
The Norman Gunston character was never meant to be taken seriously... in fact it would be hard to perform him... loved the show......
Tim Allen is my idol. We had to write something about my idol and I chose him. I'm his biggest fan. Escpecially of the home improvement series. Proof of showing how much I am of his fan, in sims 3 I'm doing a home improvement house. It may be a bit sad. But he is my idol and I like him. Good luck Tim!
@Lancerlot148 I've redecorated the interior of my garage to match the show's nearly exactly, with some of the items of the actual set. I'm a much bigger fan than you. Love you Tim!
Considering the widely different cultural corners they both come from, this interview was pretty well-done, and funny, besides. "Budgie" is Brit & Aussie-speak for "parakeet" here in the US. But a lot of Americans wouldn't necessarily know that; obviously Tim didn't! But: What IS THAT THING ON GUNSTON'S HEAD?!? It's got to be a put-on, since it is the WORLD'S WORST COMB-OVER!!
Yeah, Norman Gunston is a put-on. He's a character played by actor / comedian Garry McDonald. This interview was just great, Tim Allen is very quick on his feet.
What on earth would make you suspect that this mans hair of all things would be a put-on? It's people like yoo who spread mistrust hate bigotry and dandruff..
Sgt Bickle: maybe I was a bit harsh, but anyone being interviewed by someone who looks like Norman Gunston would have to surmise its a put-on, and then go with the flow. Granted, a lot of the 'Australian-ness' of Normans comments etc may have been totally lost to Tim Allen, but then again, have you seen the Sally Struthers interview? Mind you, I'm not sure you could call that one an interview!?!?!
No, he was funny, the problem is that he can't tell if the guy's for real or not...if you don't know that for sure, you don't know if you should be serious or play along and then you're probably wondering if the guy is making fun of you. There's probably like 100 things going through his head...he came off pretty good though and the Gunston character is great. That's some great acting there.
tim allen is way easier on the ears than the weird-asscomboverbaldiedude

Unfortunate thing about Gunston was his suffering with depression. Was the main reason for his disappearance from the public spotlight.

Tim is a class act, he knew it was all in the name of fun, and took it in stride. Unlike too many other stars.
