"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," Hoekstra said in a statement. "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."Macdonald joined the cast of "SNL" in 1993 and appeared on the NBC sketch series for five seasons.
He left "SNL" in 1998 and went on to star that year in the comedy movie "Dirty Work." He anchored the short-lived ABC sitcom "The Norm Show" , which aired from 1999 to 2001.
