I must be the only one totally out of the loop....I never heard of him. Where have I been?

Such a funny man!  He could just get a look on his face and crack you up!  His old impression of Burt Reynolds was hilarious!  And I just loved him on The Middle!  He was amazingly gifted.  He will be so missed!  No one like him.....

Another great comedic legend passes before his time. I was sad to hear of his passing. He always had a way to crack me up. The Burt Reynolds skits were some of the best! May his family find some comfort in all of the love outpouring over this news. May he rest in peace and be cracking jokes up in heaven!!

Rest In Peace, Norman Gene Macdonald...

This man was a wonderful, highly talented comedian and writer and he will be missed...

Norm MacDonald appeared on "The Middle" in 2010 through 2018. He must have been dealing with the cancer during that time.  What a trooper.

Sorry he was abruptly fired from Saturday Night Live by Don Ohlmeyer supposedly because of an OJ Simpson joke.

I remember him well.

He did a "Nora Ephron," keeping his cancer diagnosis and treatment a secret known only to a few.  I am glad he was successful in doing that so that he could live peacefully.

May he rest in peace.

There were some lovely homages to his courage and talent from his peers in the comedy profession.  I was especially touched by the memories of Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers.
