Damn, just saw this on Twitter and didn't think it was real at first.

I just heard something about Dirty Work 2 being a possibility. Guess not.

Re: Norm MacDonald dead at 61

I'm gutted. I loved Norm. For my money he's the funniest thing to come out of 90's SNL (a show I'm admittedly not a huge fan of). His sitcom in the late 90's is one of my all time favorites. So underrated.

Selfishly, I had tickets to go see him in about 3 weeks. For years, even when he wasn't regularly touring, he used to do a weekend in Massachusetts every fall or so where he'd do a couple of shows in Boston, and then come out to a tiny club in western mass near where I grew up. Never knew why he did it, but my buddy and I talked about going all the time, but were never able to make it work but once. It was my favorite show I've ever been to. I don't know how many years ago that was, but we finally had tickets to see him again. So disappointed.

This makes me so sad. I didn’t want to believe it when a few friends who knew I was a fan texted me.

Damn! I had no idea he had cancer. This sucks. Norm was hilarious. My dad and I used to crack up at his wiener dog joke when he was just starting out in standup. His deadpan delivery was amazing.

Re: Norm MacDonald dead at 61

He was so good behind the Weekend Update desk. My second favorite behind Dennis Miller in that chair.
