Norm Macdonald, comedian and SNL alum best known as the best* Weekend Update anchor on the show, has died at the age of 61 after a private battle with cancer for the last 9 years.  According to Deadline, “announced by his management firm Brillstein Entertainment. The comedian’s longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra, who was with him when died, said Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade but was determined to keep his health struggles private, away from family, friends and fans.”
