The famed comedian and actor Norm MacDonald passed away after battling cancer. He died at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 61. The Canadian-American entertainer is best known for his role on Saturday Night Live as the host of Weekend Update.
He also is a well known voice actor.
His death was confirmed by Deadline and his management team at Brillstein Entertainment.
His longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra was with him during his final days in hospice.
MacDonald didn't tell many people about his cancer. He kept his family, friends and fans in the dark about the cancer.
"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 "a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.' He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly."
MacDonald was deemed the best anchor to ever host the segment by Chevy Chase.
MacDonald brought Weekend Update to the politically charged comedy it is to this day.
