The comic was 61 and he had a near decade fight against cancer.
I remember MacDonald as one of the funny Weekend Update hosts back in the ’90s; just dead pan slaying it —especially the OJ news. Of course he was much more than SNL, but that’s where I first saw him and what I thought of first, but he kept producing up to the end.
Norm MacDonald, you will be missed.
No! Not PIIIDGE!!!
(Norm was the voice of Pidge on the actually very funny Mike Tyson Mysteries series on Adult Swim. )

One of my all time faves. Smart, sarcastic, made you think and laugh out loud at the same time.
Rest In Peace Norm

Norm MacDonald at 61. Man, oh, man. I always get a sinking feeling when someone famous but significantly younger than I am dies like this. In the last couple of years, I watched a lot of his stuff on YouTube. Truly one of a kind! Now gone.

Whenever Norm MacDonald appeared on my TV I knew I would be laughing, he never disappointed, what a loss.
