What do you think about the transformation of Atlantic City?
Yeah, it looks a lot better. And Borgata is the best hotel in Atlantic City to be very honest. I mean it's beautiful. It absolutely belongs in Vegas. I like going to A.C. I like the casino atmosphere, but I can go home when I wanna get back to the sanity of New York.

I own a karaoke bar at Tropicana. It's called Planet Rose. Have you ever been to a karaoke bar?
Never, no.

If you did go, what song would you sing?
It would be something by Sabbath. ... Maybe "Iron Man." You don't really need a great voice to sing that.

Who's your favorite comic?
All-time? Richard Pryor. Right now I love watching Colin Quinn. Dave Attell is great.

Favorite movie?
Let's go with Raging Bull. I could say A Clockwork Orange. [Actually], One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is probably my favorite.

Favorite TV show?
It's either M*A*S*H or Taxi.

Favorite joke?
I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing: I didn't write it.

Jim Norton
Where: Borgata Music Box
When: Fri., Jan. 18-Sun., Jan. 20
How Much: SOLD OUT
