Norm McDonald death: What type of cancer did Norm have?

Saturday Night Live comic Norm Macdonald died unexpectedly following a nearly decade-long “battle” with aggressive leukaemia On September 14 2021.

He had been diagnosed nine years earlier, but only told his family, agent, and producing partner about it, afraid that disclosing his condition to the public would “change the way he was seen.”

In 1985, Macdonald began performing stand-up comedy at Ottawa’s Yuk Yuk’s, where he was a regular on amateur nights.

From 1994 until 1998, the sometimes-controversial comic was renowned for a variety of TV series and movies, but most notably for his “Weekend Update” section on “Saturday Night Live.”

In 2016, he published Based on a True Story, a novel that presented a heavily fictionalized account of his life
