    Default Norm Macdonald Dead at 61...

    He was one of the funniest fuckers to grace the stage. I don't usually care about celebrity deaths, but this one is shocking because it was so unexpected and because his humor made me laugh. Out loud.

    He was a good comedian, imo, even if he overrated himself.

    Ten years of cancer has to be tough.

    I liked Norm MacDonald as a comedian. Made me laugh. Don't know anything else about him and it really doesn't matter at this point.

    For someone to combat cancer for 9 years and not say a word to the public is unheard of in today's attention-whoring society. To just not accidentally say something requires effort.

    Yeah. Impressive. Good for him keeping it private like he wanted.
