Popular Canadian comedian, Norm MacDonald is dead. Norm passed away at 61 after a nine-year battle with cancer.

The deceased management firm Brillstein Entertainment broke the news in a statement on Wednesday 15th September.

Lori Jo Hoekstra, the comedian’s longtime producing partner, said he had been battling cancer for about ten years but kept his health struggles away from family, friends, and fans.

“He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.

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,” Lori Jo said in his tribute to the late comedian.

The Canadian comic was born in Quebec City in 1959 and got his start in Canadian clubs before moving to the US to pursue TV comedy writing.
