Comedian Norm Macdonald, best known for doing Weekend Update for Saturday Night Live, died today of cancer. He was 61.

I am always reminded of this-

Norm Macdonald speaks often about a kind of Platonic form of a joke whose punch line is identical to its setup. He feels he came close in 1995 on “Weekend Update”: “Julia Roberts told reporters this week that her marriage to Lyle Lovett has been over for some time,” he said, as a picture of the country singer’s asymmetrical face appeared behind him. “The key moment, she said, came when she realized that she was Julia Roberts, and that she was married to Lyle Lovett.”

I didn't expect this. He was a comedian's comedian.
