Damnit, so brilliant, and like Stephen Wright was kind of the king of dry delivery. I still remember him being the host of SNL news during the bad periods of the show, and for that brief period of time SNL had moments of brilliance.


RIP Norm.

NOOO! Too young god ####ing damnit!

This sucks ass. He was my favorite comedian ever. I can't believe I missed seeing him live the last couple times he had a show in Calgary.

True comedic genius, gone too early.

I was hoping it was a hoax as this is sad news. Pretty amazing he managed to keep his health under wraps for almost a decade. Has there ever been a better deadpan comedian?

His Weekend Update segments are the stuff of legend. I like that he wasn't afraid to make the risky jokes. Comedy should feel a little dangerous. It just got a little less dangerous today.

RIP Norm, you'll be missed.

Did anyone else see "Norm Macdonald Dies:..."

on the main page, and click on it thinking this was a new show he was doing? I thought the ... part was the rest of the show name.

Norm's show with Super Dave is the best thing I've ever seen on YouTube. The gold chains joke is so terrible, and so funny.

^ That joke is a great example of his tireless commitment to delivering a joke, taking an endless amount of time to get there, only to realize the punchline is ridiculously stupid. For Norm, the journey to the punchline was far more enjoyable than the joke itself. Not many comedians do that style of humor anymore.

Such sad news...when I go on Youtube, I probably watch videos of him as much as anyone. His roast of Bob Saget is something only he could do.

Saw him live a couple times. This is a real bummer. I've joked for years that it should be mandatory for Norm MacDonald to have a small cameo in every movie.

While he was great on Weekend Update, he will always be Turd Ferguson to me. He made me find laughter early on in life. RIP you legend.
