Norm MacDonald Biography
Norm MacDonald was born on October 17, 1963, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. He began his career in stand up comedy. MacDonald`s first job was writing for "The Dennis Miller Show" (1992) and then _Roseanne_. While writing for Roseanne, he was noticed by Lorne Michaels, who liked Norm`s stand up, and gave him his job on "Saturday Night Live" (1975). MacDonald became widely popular when he became the Weekend Update anchor with his trademark line `Now the fake news`. He lasted from September 24, 1994 to December 13, 1997, when he was fired by Don Ohlmeyer, president of NBC on the west coast. Norm`s last weekend update was December 13, 1997, and he left the show in March 1998. His movie, Dirty Work (1998), which he began working on in the summer of `97, came out 2 months later. In March 1999, his show, called `The Norm Show`, came out on ABC and had a 3 season run. During the time, he starred in the movie Screwed (2000), opposite Dave Chappelle.
