Oof, this stings.
A guy who was somehow widely recognized as one of the best in his field, and yet still leaves being pretty underrated all around.
Whatever else there is to say, there was nobody else who had his particular delivery and timing.

I really wanted to do a Norm style joke just to lighten things, but I was reminded of a passage from his book on Twitter and honestly it felt worth posting here just really highlight how incredibly poetic he could be beneath the jokes and general dry demeanor he put on.

Weekend Update….With Norm MacDonald was a huge part of my entertainment. Even if the rest of the episode was shit(which it often was) Norm almost always delivered.
RIP

I just read Jenn Sterger's tweets about how Norm reached out to her after everything with Brett Favre came out and I teared up a bit.

Was talking to my mom and, knowing I'm an SNL fan, she asked if I had heard. Absolutely shocking and devastating news. I think I'm one of the ten people in the whole world who enjoyed The Norm Show/Norm lol his Weekend Update was before the time I was watching the show, but he's still one of the funniest comedians in the world. RIP to a legend. And in before someone posthumously casts him as a Batman villain

That's a bummer on what was kind of a long day to begin with, ugh.
RIP to my favorite Weekend Update anchor.

One of the funniest comedians to have been a cast member of SNL. As was said earlier, the jokes about OJ and Michael Jackson were hilarious. I also thought the jokes he did about the Unabomber were funny as well.

RIP
I saw this earlier, but couldn't comment until now. Really sad news. In the 2010s, he had a guest starring role on the sitcom The Middle that he was great in. When Conan ended his show this year and fans thought that Norm would be on the last week when he had in-person guests and live audience, but now with this news he was probably too ill. So many people from my childhood like Night Court's Charles Robinson, Markie Post and now SNL's Norm McDonald have died this year.

"When asked for a cause of death, the coroner said. 'we don't want to rush to judgement like the FBI did with Richard Jewel' before saying 'it's Richard Jewel.'"

Seriously, any appearance he made with Conan is pure comedic gold. They play off each other so well

Go to YouTube and look up his album track about the Fantastic Four. Hilarious.
