There may be very few people that are as high in status, revered, and have as many insane stories in comedy quite like Norm MacDonald.

Even as a “tell some” book, Norm’s still got a wild ride of a life through SNL, stand-up, insane gambling debts, etc. that probably could make for a whole series of books.

All of that is captured on the page by Norm himself in Based on a True Story, which just happens to be now available from Random House Books.
