Comedian and actor Norm Macdonald, best known for his role on Saturday Night Live, died Tuesday after a years-long private battle with cancer, according to TMZ.
He was 61-years-old.
Macdonald’s business partner and friend, Lori Jo Hoekstra, told the news outlet: “He was most proud of his comedy. 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.”
The legendary comic passed away Tuesday after battling cancer for nearly a decade. https://t.co/XmUqAfedLt
