GRA: From stand-up, to SNL, to hosting various podcasts and acting in a few movies—plus a TV show (Norm), MacDonald was pretty entertaining. A sly style—much of it understated—until he slammed home the big punchline.

MacDonald was reportedly diagnosed with cancer nine years ago, though he did not tell anyone.

I suspected something was wrong the last couple years, when he appeared to have some major weight gain in his face (cancer drug side effects?) beyond the “norm.”

He has many worthwhile clips on YouTube.
