Norm Macdonald, the acerbic, sometimes controversial comedian familiar to millions as the “Weekend Update” anchor on “Saturday Night Live” from 1994 to 1998, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 61.

His manager, Marc Gurvitz, confirmed the death. Lori Jo Hoekstra, his longtime producing partner, told the Hollywood news outlet Deadline that the cause was cancer, something he had been dealing with for some time but had kept largely private.

So sad. Dude was SO smart at the game of comedy. The moth joke, the pig joke, and so many more. He was one of a kind.
