Adam Eget is a comedian and media personality who gained fame after hosting the comedy show ‘Norm Macdonald Live’ with the famous late comedian Norm Macdonald. After the increasing popularity of the show, Netflix offered the duo to host their own show. Their ten-episode show debuted in 2018.

Well, let’s learn more about how Adam rose to fame, working with one of the best comedians and being a popular name himself.

Didn’t Have A Great Childhood

Adam was born in 1979, in Los Angeles. Eget celebrates his birthday on June 13. He was born into a half-Jewish family and follows Jewish traditions. Unfortunately, his parents divorced when he was just 14. The comedian also has one younger sister along with two half-siblings, a brother and a sister.


Sadly, Adam Eget’s father passed away from an illness in 2017. He had posted a tweet about his father.

Eget had a rough childhood and faced several problems from his teen years. After his parents’ separation, he suffered depression at a tender age. Moreover, he recalled cutting his hands and face, and he always felt numb.
Likewise, the Los Angeles-based comedian was also tricked by his parents to spend some teenage years at CEDU, also known as CEDU Educational Services, which is a behavior modification center for teenagers. It has been closed now after several allegations of unusual treatment of minors.

He spent almost three years in that facility before joining a strict public school.

Eget started doing comedy after going through a traumatic childhood. He has been doing comedy almost his entire life, and Adam said he bounced back when he stood on his own feet and started doing shows.

Alongside that, he and Norm Macdonald were offered a multi-million Netflix deal for their show ‘Norm MacDonald Has A Show.’

According to PayScale, a comedian in the US can earn an average sum of $40K per year. Looking at Adam’s expertise and experience, he too must be earning somewhere around that range or even more.
