About Norm
Norman Gene Macdonald was a Canadian stand-up comedian, actor, and writer known for his deadpan delivery, eccentric understatement, and folksy, old-fashioned style. Throughout his career, he appeared in numerous films and was a frequent guest on late-night talk shows, where he gained recognition for his chaotic yet understated comedic approach. His notable appearances on programs hosted by Conan O'Brien and David Letterman received acclaim, with Letterman describing him as the best stand-up comedian. Earlier in his career, Macdonald wrote for television comedies including Roseanne and The Dennis Miller Show. In 1993, he joined Saturday Night Live as a writer and cast member, spending five seasons on the show. During this time, he anchored the Weekend Update segment for three and a half seasons but was removed in 1998, reportedly for mocking O. J. Simpson during his murder trial, which offended producer Don Ohlmeyer. After SNL, Macdonald starred in the 1998 film Dirty Work and headlined his own sitcom, The Norm Show, from 1999 to 2001. He also had voice acting roles in series such as Family Guy, The Fairly OddParents, Mike Tyson Mysteries, The Orville, and the Dr. Dolittle films. Between 2013 and 2018, Macdonald hosted the video podcast Norm Macdonald Live and the Netflix series Norm Macdonald Has a Show, interviewing comedians and celebrities. In 2016, he authored Based on a True Story, a novel that offered a heavily fictionalized account of his life. Macdonald passed away in September 2021 from leukemia, a condition he had not publicly disclosed.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
