Adam Eget Biography, Facts About Norm Macdonald Has A Show Star

There are people who seem to have a “broken” sense of humor; they don’t make jokes or smile when someone else does. Then there are others who can make you laugh out loud with very unexpected utterances or just plain babysitting. Adam Eget belongs to this last category.

The comedian and podcaster seems to have worked his whole life – at least as far as is known – in the comedy industry. Adam is best known for co-hosting the infamous comedy podcast series, Norm MacDonald Live with host Norm MacDonald.

Adam Eget – Bio

Not much is known about Adam’s personal life. He managed to maintain his privacy even as he rose to fame in the comedy industry. The comic is believed to be half-Jewish and to respect certain Jewish traditions, such as the bar mitzvah, which comes in adulthood, among others.

Nothing is known about his family members, other than that his father died of an illness in 2017. This was revealed in a tweet the comedian created in late 2017.

Adam Eget has spent his entire working life in comedy. However, he was lucky enough to meet stand-up comedian, writer and actor, Norm MacDonald, under the Queensborough Bridge in New York, which greatly influenced his career. The two got along well and have been inseparable ever since. That’s why Norm decided to broadcast it on his podcast.

Eget joins Norm as co-host of his show Norm MacDonald Live which premiered on March 26, 2013. The show was available on Amazon Video and saved to YouTube. It features a talk show format and had featured celebrity guests like Larry King, Billy Bob Thornton, David Letterman, Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman and Russell Brand among others.

Adam Eget Norm MacDonald Live received positive reviews from brands like Entertainment Weekly and USA Today. The show aired for three seasons and for a total of 37 episodes. Its last episode was on October 3, 2017 and saw Norm and Eget end the series with actor – Jim Carrey.

Eget once again teamed up with MacDonald to bring a new show to his audience in 2018. This time it was a full TV series on Netflix. The series, Norm MacDonald Has a Show, premiered on Netflix on September 14, 2018. Here, Norm and Adam Eget continue their penchant for unpredictable, offbeat, brain-busting comedy that is often reductive, yet acceptable, than their audiences have fallen in love over the years.

Facts About the ‘Norm Macdonald Has a Show’ Star

1. Eget also works at the comedy store

The comedy store, which is located in Los Angeles, is widely considered one of the most popular comedy clubs in the country. Adam Eget is currently manager of the prestigious club when not recording for its Netflix TV series.

3. He has already been called an anti-Semite

Some time ago, Adam Eget made a statement in one of the episodes of his series, which did not please his listeners and the general public very much.

They were discussing the Holocaust and the suffering the Jews endured. During the discussion, a statement was made to which Adam added the word “allegedly” under his breath, as a joke. However, it was a joke too far for the public to label him and an anti-Semite for denying that the Holocaust took place. It’s all the more strange since the comedian is supposed to be half-Jewish.
