While discussing the Shorty Awards yesterday on their Sirius/XM show, Opie & Anthony brought up the comedian category and Jim Norton, who is a frequent contributor to their show. My name came up, and they have no idea who I am, which is understandable, because I’m the opposite of famous. I did meet Jim Norton once (very briefly) at the Friar’s Club in Beverly Hills about 5 years ago, and he would have no reason to remember me from that short 20 second conversation. So I’ll say this- if you want to vote for someone in the Shorty Awards in the comedian category that isn’t me, then vote for Jim Norton, he’s a fantastic comedian. I wouldn’t mind losing to someone like that. Just don’t let Selena Gomez beat me!
P.S. Thanks to my friend Joe Hartz for letting me know about this.
