About Norm Macdonald

Norman Gene Macdonald was born on October 17, 1959 and was a Canadian stand-up comedian, writer, and actor with an estimated net worth of $1.5 million. In his early career, he wrote for the sitcom Roseanne and made guest appearances on shows such as The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio. Macdonald was then a cast member on Saturday Night Live (SNL) for five years, including anchoring the Weekend Update segment for three seasons. After leaving SNL, he starred in the 1998 film Dirty Work and in his own sitcom, The Norm Show, from 1999 to 2001.

Paste magazine named him #31 on their 50 Best Stand-up Comics of All Time. In 2018, he released Norm Macdonald Has a Show, a Netflix talk show with a similar premise to his podcast. In 2020, Macdonald launched Loko, a dating app he co-created which relies heavily on video to make first impressions.

Canadian stand-up comedian, writer, and actor Norm Macdonald has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million dollars, as of 2023. Macdonald is known for his deadpan style.

Norm Macdonald was born and raised in Quebec City, Canada. He got his start doing stand-up comedy during the 1987 Just for Laughs Montreal Festival. Macdonald joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1993, where we worked as a writer, cast member and anchor of “Weekend Update” for five years.

In 1998, Macdonald was very publicly fired from his position on SNL. He released his first stand-up album, Ridiculous, in 2006. His first stand-up special and second album, Me Doing Stand Up, were released in 2011. That same year, he became host of Sports Show on Comedy Central. It was canceled after one season.

Macdonald joined the staff of Saturday Night Live in 1993 as both a writer and cast member, but it wasn’t until 1995 (when Kevin Nealon left the show) that Macdonald really broke out as the anchor of “Weekend Update.” Though he didn’t appear in sketches that often, he also became known for his impressions of Larry King, David Letterman, Bob Dole and, most famously, Burt Reynolds. In 1997, Macdonald was publicly fired from his “Update” position after NBC exec Don Ohlmeyer deemed him “not funny” (though the common wisdom is that Ohlmeyer fired him for doing OJ jokes, as the two were friends). Macdonald left SNL in ’98.

After leaving SNL, Macdonald co-wrote and starred in the movie Dirty Work in 1998. It co-starred Artie Lange, Chris Farley and Don Rickles and was directed by comedian Bob Saget, but failed to make any kind of impact at the box office. Macdonald starred in one more feature film, Screwed, in 2000, which bombed as well.

He headlined his own ABC sitcom, The Norm Show, beginning in 1999. The show (on which Artie Lange again co-starred) lasted for three seasons.

Macdonald’s follow-up to The Norm Show, the FOX sitcom A Minute with Stan Hooper, lasted only six episodes after debuting in 2003.

He shot a sketch comedy pilot for Comedy Central in 2005 called Back to Norm, but it never made it to series. An avid poker player, Macdonald became the host of Game Show Network’s High Stakes Poker in 2011.

Macdonald was a judge for the ninth season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, alongside judges, Roseanne Barr and Keenan Ivory Wayans and replacing fellow Canadian Russell Peters, for the 2015 season.

In 2018 he defended friend and fellow comedian Louis C.K., who many feel should be able to make a fuller come back without being followed by #metoo. As of 2023, Norm Macdonald’s net worth is estimated to be about $1.5 million.
