Norm Macdonald, whose laconic delivery of sharp and incisive observations made him one of Saturday Night Live‘s most influential and beloved cast members, died today after a nine-year private battle with cancer. He was 61. 

Macdonald’s death was announced to Deadline by his management firm Brillstein Entertainment. The comedian’s longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra, who was with him when died, said Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade but was determined to keep his health struggles private, away from family, friends and fans. 

“He was most proud of his comedy,” Hoekstra said. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”

His ability to destroy an interview on late night shows was epic.  Funny mfer!  I always loved this clip.

No luck needed.  It is a fact your hero twatts ruined one's good tv . Letterman O Brian Carson all great at there jobs and made the shows entertaining to watch . The modern fleet of cunts not even in the same category just fuckibg bad . Can't even believe even a smarmy cunt such as your self can tune in and find entertainment value in it
