Some Facts

• After getting his start as a stand-up comic on the talent show “Star Search,” Macdonald rose quickly to fame in the tough world of comedy (via The Wall Street Journal). Macdonald was destined for TV because of how creative he was, and he soon got a job in the writing room of the hit sitcom “Roseanne.” His friend and fellow comedian Tom Arnold hired him (via Twitter).
  Soon, he was a regular cast member on America’s most popular comedy show, “Saturday Night Live.” He stayed there from 1993 until he was fired in a controversial way in 1998. After working as a sketch actor for a while, Macdonald got the coveted spot on “Weekend Update,” where he became known for making fun of celebrities and current events in a funny way. But even though people liked his shows, he got into trouble when his cruel jokes about the O.J. Simpson trial, which was still going on at the time, upset network executive Don Ohlmeyer, who was said to be friends with Simpson. Macdonald was fired, and Ohlmeyer’s sneaky reasons for it were discussed openly. In the end, Macdonald admitted that his firing might have been because of the way he did comedy, but he still thought it was unfair.
• Norm Macdonald’s post-“SNL” career was uneven at best. Still, when he or his voice showed up in a film or TV show, it was always recognizable. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he had various cameos in films like “The People vs. Larry Flynt” and Man on the Moon,” and in less highbrow fare like “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.” He also contributed voice work to shows like “Skylanders Academy,” “The Orville,” and “Mike Tyson Mysteries.” Empire added a few more to the roster, including the Eddie Murphy “Doctor Dolittle” movies and “Klaus,” to name a few.
• USA Today described Norm Macdonald as having a trademark “gravelly voice.” It was a voice that would become the first iteration of Family Guy’s “Death” character until Adam Corolla replaced him in later episodes (via IGN). Nevertheless, Macdonald’s version of death remained the arguable favorite version of the character.
