Norm Macdonald, the celebrated stand-up comedian and Saturday Night Live cast member, has died at the age of 61 after a private battle with cancer.
Macdonald’s management company confirmed the comedian’s death to Deadline . Macdonald had reportedly been battling cancer for nine years, but did not want to make the diagnosis public, according to his longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra.
“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 that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”
