Legendary actor and comedian Norm Macdonald has died at the age of 61. Born in Quebec City in 1959, Macdonald began his comedy career doing stand-up in Canada before landing a writing gig for the TV show Roseanne.
He then landed a job at Saturday Night Live, where he was a cast member from 1993-1998. Macdonald had the coveted role of Weekend Update anchor during his time at SNL, where he displayed his deadpan style of comedy and became a household name.
Macdonald left SNL in 1998 and started his own comedy show, The Norm Show, which ran from 1999-2001. The comedian continued to show up in late-night appearances, as well as lending his voice in a number of animated films and TV series, including The Orville and Klaus. The comedian also had a recurring role in The Middle and will perhaps be best remembered in live-action for his roles in Billy Madison and Dirty Work.
