Norm MacDonald Passes Away

[hatsbo]

Apparently he had battled cancer for years. One of my favorite comedians, loved his deadpan delivery. Achieved fame on SNL by continually lambasting O.J. Simpson on Weekend Update. That actually got him canned because NBC head Don Olmeyer was a buddy of O.J. and had him fired. He also did a great Burt Reynolds on the Jeopardy spoofs hosted by Will Farrell as Trebek. He and another comic favorite Dennis Miller both hosted Weekend Update on SNL. RIP

Awful news.

Celebrity Jeopardy is my favorite. I'm only 30 and he was before my time, but even I recognize the great sketches. RIP Norm.

I remember his standup routines before he was on SNL. He had a very unique style. Very dry, very Canadian. I liked his Letterman impression on SNL. It was out of character for him and he did it very well. Sad news.

He was one of my faves. I saw a random article talking about him yesterday and I was laughing and then I noticed he was being referenced in the past tense. Seems like no one knew he was sick. Dude was one of a kind. I loved when he kind of broke character and would smirk after he said something so ridiculous. And his ESPY monologue was unreal.

I just remembered another of my favorite SNL bits. His Bob Dole on MTV's The Real World. That's Bob Dole's peanut butter!!! 🤣

He apparently did an interview and was talking about someone that died of cancer and no one knew and he said that's how he wanted to go out.

He is definitely one of my favorites. Loved him on SNL and pretty much everything after.

Roasted the ESPYs, amazing stuff to see these days.

A nine year battle suggests prostate or maybe a blood cancer. Leukemia?
He was so unique. RIP.

This always cracks me up, along with his recap of it on the Tom Green show.
