Jim Norton Reflects on the Life of Patrice O'Neal

[klintruin]

thank you for this......great questions and not a second of useless content. every sunday since he died I listen to patrice all day on youtube and Im so appreciative for this as Ive come to realize that I am almost out of content that Ive yet to hear from, or about him.

[nephewsb]

This was fucking AWESOME dude!!!!! I've been a Patrice fan since his first Comedy Central special and to hear one of his closest friends be so candid was awesome THANKS.

Cool man, I always wanted to how Jim took his passing. Glad he's OK. Great interview man.

[show0me0a0GOD]

Patrice, I will always remember you. You helped a young guy laugh through some tough times and still do to this very day. But more than that, you helped that young guy expand his mind through your honesty of opinion. You are a true inspiration.

Thank you to everyone for your comments on my interview. I'm sorry about the sound quality. I was conducting the interview in the Green Room at Magooby's Joke House in Timonium, MD. I'm a reporter for timonium.patch.com. I captured the audio on my iPhone and transferred it to another recording device after I realized that more people needed to hear Jim Norton's comments. The end result is the audio/slideshow above. How did I do?

WTF are you playing with notebook paper? Like damn dude.

[ndimar1]

@YouBeanz Actually, yes. I was taking notes in my reporters notebook. I didn't intend to post the video to YouTube until I realized I actually had a decent interview. I was talking to him after a show at Magooby's Joke House in Timonium, MD. Sorry for the quality. I hope the content of the interview would make up for it. Yes? No?

God I miss Patrice, no bullshit, I hate the thought that I'll never hear him walk into the studio again and make my life better for atleast that day. He changed my opinion on so many things....as a side note, is there a single moment that Jim can speak without shoving food into his fucking mouth? that shit is repulsive, he has no ability to understand how gross that shit can be on the radio. He's still a comedic genius though

[Daathaan]

This is the closest I've heard to Jimmy crying. I feel for the guy and all who Patrice knew and affected, including his fans.

[1844Freddy]

I cried the whole way through this

[thendy88]

Did he say that they had sex with a hooker togrther?

[nickypeeps]

@thendy88 i don't think they legitimately had sex with the same women at the same time, but the two of them went on vacation to Brazil with groups of their friends three different times for the sole purpose of fucking cheap prostitutes in the giant night club brothels they have there

[hershysquirts187]

patrice was so underrated. its a shame it took him passing away for alot of peaple to see his comedy.

[spartancaptain]

@hershysquirts187 I think the Sheen Roast really opened a lot of people's eyes to him that didn't realize just how talented he was and that he wasn't just that big funny black guy they saw tell a joke in some clip before. I honestly believe with Elephant in the Room and closing out the Sheen Roast was going to make him way more famous than he ever was

[fecrida7]

So sad, Just a brilliant person.

R.I.C (Rest In Comedy) Patrice!
