Norm Macdonald, Comedian and 'Saturday Night Live' Star, Dies at 61

I hadn't seen posted, so ...


I liked Norm, I like the deadpan style. He was often in nearby Scottsdale, AZ partying.

Norm Macdonald, the deadpan comedian, actor, writer and “Saturday Night Live” star, has died after a battle with cancer, Variety has confirmed. He was 61.

Macdonald privately battled the disease for almost a decade. “Norm was an original! He defined American humor with honesty and blunt force,” Jeff Danis, president of DPN Talent and one of Macdonald’s reps, told Variety in a statement.

I've seen a few posts mentioning him, so I thought that he might have died, but I never saw anything official. Sorry to hear about it. He was a funny guy and he'll be missed.

I think he was a recurring character on the show as the brother.
