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 at the time of his death this morning, 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.

worst day ever

that's as old school as it gets - keeping it completely secret for the sake of the comedy

Tbh he hadn't looked healthy for awhile. I always just thought it was because he was getting old, but it makes more sense now. One of my all-time favorite comedians. RIP Norm.
